The case of the haunted snuggies

aka, when snuggies go horribly awry.
So Zoo’s co-workers gave him a snuggie for Christmas.  He looks like a cross between a monk and a cult leader.  And then today, the same people gave Gus a snuggie.  A large snuggie.
Large snuggies are not made for large weims.  Never mind the fact that Gus was totally humiliated [...]

Merry Christmas!

The cookies are baked.  And tested, multiple times.  The book?  Not done.  Not nearly done.  So I’m going to steal as much time as I can over the next few days to work – helps that Zoo does the cooking, you know?  I can set up and work until people arrive tonight, as we have [...]

Ten

1. It’s SOA night (aka Sons of Anarchy)!!!
2. I’m exhausted.  Like, fall asleep while typing exhausted.  Migraine isn’t helping.  Blog writing might.
3. I love fall.  Beautiful sleeping weather.  And obviously, I need the sleep.
4. I got my first review for HARD TO HOLD from Suspense Romance Writers!!!  YAY!  My favorite part:   “Ms. Tyler has written an [...]

Just Stuff

I am so loving Sons of Anarchy this season!  See, I tend to not watch a show in its first season – I can’t commit until I know it’ll last at least through a full second season, you know?  So I watched the season premiere of season 2 (um, hello – if that doesn’t hook [...]

The fishing trip

Zoo’s, not mine, although I’m way jealous.
First, he got the little fishy on the line – here little fishy….

 
And then Kenny (fishing guide) urged the nice little fish closer to the boat…
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kenny wants to show you the little fish

Why your mom shouldn’t plot your books

So my mom calls me yesterday and is all like, Did you see that a SEAL team rescued that captain?
I tell her that I’ve been following all of this forever at this point and say yes.
Then she’s like, you know, I was washing dishes when I heard it and I stopped to watch the story. [...]

things get in the way…

So, Zoo has tonsillitis and I’m hoping that the antibiotics work so he doesn’t have to have them out. Mainly because he’s telling me he won’t have them out until after his fishing trip at the end of April.
I’m guessing he doesn’t realize that he’s not going to have much of a choice.  
So I’ve got that [...]

Comment of the day

This is a lovely conversation the husband and I had a few days ago.  I laugh every time I think about it, but that could just be me.
Me:  Did Gus just go outside?
Zoo:  Yes.
Me:  Did he do anything?
Zoo:  Yes.
Me:  Then he gets a cookie.
Zoo:  No one gives me a cookie when I go to the [...]

Gus, the unpublished photos

You know, I’d say TGIF except that I work more on the weekends these days than during the week, so it all kind of blends together.  But I think I’ve finally got a handle on what I’ve been wrestling with on Cam and Skylar’s story.  They’re both pretty private people and they haven’t wanted to [...]
