My Freewill Astrology:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the
second half of 2008, Leo. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing
with the challenges you were given near the end of last year. As I suspect
you’ve guessed by now, there’s one potential accomplishment that’s more
important than all the others. If you can pull it off, it’ll change your life
forever. I’m talking about the determination to take full responsibility
for your own happiness. How? By studying in exquisite detail all the
things you need to feel great, and taking aggressive steps to make sure
they happen consistently.

Do you feel the need to vent? Head on over to SFC for Vee’s open thread.

PSA: I guess ya’ll noticed the economy is in kinda bad shape and we’re all tightening our belts. In the interest of saving a few pennies, I’m passing on a coupon-less coupon!

KROGER GROCERY STORES is doing a “buy two paperback books, get one free” from June 25 to July 22. All you need is your Kroger reward card. Go forth and shop!

I have no idea if this is a North Texas thing or Kroger all over but thought it was worth sharing!

Uhhh Apparently I need to answer my phone more often. HANDS ON finaled in the Ok-RWA National Reader’s Choice Awardscontest like a month or something ago, and didn’t know it *L* < –loser sign

I also read Smoke Screen last night (finished–since we have NO TV or INTERNET)….It rocked. I”m adding it to my list of books read for 2008.

And in the interest of shameless self-promotion, NAILED got this lovely review from Harriet Klausner:

This is an exciting erotic romantic suspense that grips the audience the first time the bounty hunter sees the voyeur and never slows down even with a few obvious but delightful twists. Bonnie and Wynn are a delightful pair as he detours from the mission that his dad sent him on. Amie Stuart NAILED this fine tale due to the lead coupling.

I’m at SFC today talking about The Happening! Also this video is priceless! Thanks to Kameron for leading me to it.

I feel beaten down. Yesterday was uber-busy at work and I had the worst allergies EVER. I woke up this Am about 6 with my eyes matted shut—ew I know. I really wanted to see The Hulk but based on some really bad reviews I’m going to see The Happening instead!

In other news Candace Havens was blogging about Wanted:

I’ve already received the two best presents ever for my b-day. My kindle and last night I went to see WANTED. OMG, new favorite movie evah! Seriously loved it. I’m going to give it an A and it’s been years since I’ve done that. LOVED IT! It’s going into the all-time favorites with Mary Poppins.

I’m totally cracked up over her putting it in her favorites with Mary Poppins! Go wish her a happy birthday!!!!

Okay it’s shower-time. Will write this afternoon.

Lori Devoti is blogging at Southern Fried Chicas today, discussing her new book WILD HUNT and which mythological character she’d like to be. Come weigh in!

PS Congratulations to the Boston Celtics on a much-deserved win!

What the hell is Twitter?

Uh we had RWA this weekend. Our guest speaker, Tracy Garrett spoke about rejection. Interestingly enough about two weeks ago I got the best rejection of my life. Sounds weird but totally true

Afterward Lynn and I skipped off to BN to shop for books write. Okay, so we did both! I mean, come on. It’s a bookstore, people. Must stop buying books. I bought two at the grocery store last month. Two at Target a few weeks ago (none of which I’ve READ), ordered Shiloh’s new book which I started in the Ortho office last week (and BTW I paid OFF the braces WOOT!!!). And picked up the following books on Saturday:

and this one.

Plus one more I can’t remember AND I came home from the chapter meeting with a few books. Six paranormals, one Latina Lit and one Non-fic.
