Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

TO: Boy Children
FROM: Mgmt.

MEMO:
I don’t care if the sun is shining. I don’t care what the projected high is. If it SNOWED the previous night and if, when I wake up, it is 37 degrees YOU ARE WEARING PANTS TO SCHOOL. Do not bother arguing. This is non-negotiable.

I’m blogging about Haters over at NAS Today.

Did anyone watch the season finale of Terminator?? OMG *sigh* When Derek (Played by BAG) took John to the park I nearly bawled! WOW! And yes, I did the math! In 2007 John’s dad is only FOUR!

That’s the smell of Fresh Fiction! Ya’ll stop by if you get a chance…I’m talking character names.

Sooooo I stayed up (way too) late last night watching LOST (from Wednesday and Thursday)…..I have to ask ya’ll something though, seriously. What writer’s strike?

Lost is back, Supernatural is back, LAO is on (and great so far if you havne’t checked it out), there are two new series starting up, plus Lipstick Jungle, Nip/Tuck is on, Prison Break, American Idol (and why do people say that Simon is mean? He’s not mean, he’s just honest), House is back and and and we even had a new Criminal Minds last week!!!!!

I finished His Majesty’s Dragon on Wednesday and all I can say is WOW! I really have got to get the next two books. I think one of the things I loved best (and found really interesting) is that it didn’t read like historical fantasy but historical fiction. The one thing that kind of bugged me…the dragons sounded so YOUNG–in some cases it fit and really if that’s my only beef, then puh-leeze.

Up next, I have no clue…I need to start on my RITA books though. But this weekend we’ve got basketball–what are you guys up to and what have you read lately?

Oooooooo I found out the Manuscript Mavens’ Valentines DayChoose Your Own Adventure is ON!!! They’ve kicked things off with Colleen Gleason…I”m up on Sunday so stay tuned and it runs through Valentines Day. It’s gonna be a gas!

Hey check it out……I’m a Thursday Thirteen! Thanks Kate for 13′ing me!

Today over at SFC we’ve got Behind the Book with Kelly Parra! You know how I love me some YA so check her out.

And lookie what I got?!?!!? He makes me just wanna lick my screen!

And OMG LOST Is back? Did anyone watch last night? No spoilers…….it’ll be Friday night before I get to sit down and watch it.

Check it out!
HANDS ON is a CataNetwork Reviewers Choice Award winner!

Congrats also to my fellow winners! I’m in some great company.

Scoop!!!!! Did it take him long enough to show Claire he could fly??? And the car, in Mexico…it was CLAIRES!!!!!!! I was LMAO! All in all a good episode, not great, but good. I’m SO GLAD it looks like Prison Break isn’t going to spend the whole season “inside”. What else is everyone watching and loving?

Okay……..
Emma tagged me so here we go!

8 things about me!

1. I have no patience for whiney-babies

2. I hate to clean house

3. I hate a dirty house MORE than I hate to clean

4. I’m slightly obsessive compulsive (but I believe it’s almost a prerequisite to being a writer, so it’s okay).

5. I hate fixing my hair and would love to have it cut ala Halle Berry

6. My forehead is too long, that’s why I don’t have it cut ala Halle Berry (of course it’s ALMOST that short now LOL)

7. I NEVER stay in contact with my ex’s (except the one I have children with and only because I have to)

8. I HATE people who talk during movies — or children who ask questions during movies because they’re too lazy to just be quite and WATCH THE MOVIE

I’m not tagging anyone…….the tag stops here.

The things that mysteriously appear in your living room and get photographed when you’re not paying attention to what your children are doing with your digital camera.
