Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

April 15….Raine’s Birthday.

I’m also over at Naughty and Spice today doing the Meme to end all Meme’s! Feel free to join in.

I also got good pages last night, but I haven’t dumped my Alpha Smart. I’m doing a semi-moratorium on the TV until Screwed is done.

Well i scrapped 14 pages but wrote 9. I’m not done but I’ve got some other writing related stuff I need to take care of. Here’s this week’s astrology.com horrroscope. boy I hope it’s right. *ggg*

Dear Amie,
Here is your horoscope
for Sunday, April 13:

Your will is strong now and you should be able to steel yourself for almost anything. Expect success, because once you’ve passed the next test, things should go your way for quite a long time.

I’ve got a long post coming on Friday’s BSG but I want to sit and watch it again before I blog. if you watched, weigh in and tell me what you thought!

Michael Johns went home. Who here thinks we haven’t seen the last of him? Who here was surprised?

I had a blog topic but I forgot it so instead I’ll point you to Jackie’s sale story! It’s quite a wild ride and I’m honored I got to witness it first-hand!

but here’s this weeks’ horroscope.

I hesitate to be so blunt, but the fact of the matter is that right now God in on your side. This is true even if you’re an atheist. Simply put, the Divine Wow is listening to you more closely than She is to everyone else; She is more prone to slipping you little gifts than all of Her other children; She is plotting to reveal more useful inside information to you than She has in a long time. Here’s a tip to ensure you’ll get the maximum benefit out of your goodies: Use at least some of your fantastic luck to help people in need.

Thanks to Charlene for turning me on to this one!

This weeks’ behind the book is with one of my favorite people–Mary Fetcher (writing as MJ Fredrick), so stop on by! (and read her sale story–it’s not to be missed)

Otherwise not much going on. I did finish Kitty Goes to Washington and I think I actually loved it more than the first book. I’m dying for the third but it’s crunch time so it’s all writing all the time for the next month!

MY AI recap is below the cut
(more…)

I blogged today over at SFC about….burnout! Drop by. Weigh in. Be Heard!

I’m off to the DARA conference this afternoon. I hope to see your happy smiling faces there. And yes, I will be taping the Final Four! (or sneaking into the bar to watch?)

Oooooooo look I went to the DARA Conference and somehow managed not to squee over PC and Kristin! Sadly I can’t remember the name of the furry beauty in the center (Sarah?)

Here is your horoscope
for Monday, April 7:

Today is all about closure, so try to clear some stuff off of your plate. You won’t be able to get started on new projects — no matter how fun or profitable they may be — until you’re finished up with this stuff.

yeah yeah quit nagging

I FORGOT to post my recap! And WOOT–Hell’s Kitchen is back!

Ok real quick because I have to cook dinner….

1. Brooke White “Jolene” It was a rough start…I agree w/Randy. I liked it but didn’t love it. I did love the arrangement.

2. David Cook “Little Sparrow” I liked how he made it his and made it sound contemporary–I could easily see this as a “B Side”

3. Ramiele…what the HELL? I didn’t get it and I didn’t agree w/the judges

4. Jason Castro “Traveling Through” I TOTALLY Disagreed w/Simon–I thought he did great and liked how he pushed himself some

5. Carly “Here You Come Again” I thought she oversang it–and should have kept it simple. I agree w/Simon. It was good not great. And I agreed w/Simon about her outfit…80’s rocker chick went out…in the 80’s

6. David A..oh LOOK another BALLAD! *eyeroll*

7. Kristi Lee “Coat of Many Colors” She might not make it on Ai but I can totally see her making it in Nashville

8. Syesha “I Will Always Love You” can you say Kiss of Death? I knew you could! Yeah….and Randy, shut up. She made me cry. I thought she did fabulous.

9. Michael Johns have no clue what song but I LOVED the arrangement…very bluesy. Kinda simple and he’s such a pro.

Sooooo who’s got your vote for going home tonight? I say Ramiele!!!!!
