So, today is Caribbean Day at work. Am I there? No, I’m on vacation! But I did send in some Jerk Chicken and Cooling Ranch Veggies to the party since it’s important to feed the masses. So, yes, because I enjoy sharing, I’ll share both recipes for you. Read the rest of this entry »
Yes, just when you thought it wouldn’t happen– it’s HERE! It’s here! *grins* Special just for me on my 3rd anniversary with my male– Ride Me, Baby is available!Where may you get this fun, erotic romp? CLICK HERE.
Synopsis:
When Baby meets Harley, sparks fly and not all of them good. The man wants her bike for Pete’s sake and has a jealous streak a mile wide.
There’s no way Baby can run a motorcycle shop on her own, not without some serious backing and the mysterious Doc seems the likely candidate. Just what is Baby doing to earn the backing of the mystery man?

Yesterday was the true cross-quarter day for Lughnasadh. I spent the day mostly at work, then I came home and got some time in with my friends online. I also used the day to work some ritual spelling and managed to do a couple of tarot readings. What’s really nice, I was able to cook and spend some time walking with my dog outside, enjoying how lovely everything looks around here.
I bought a pedometer the other week, finally getting it to work on Sunday. So, I wear it thinking I’ll be amazed at how many steps I take every day. Here I am thinking I’m doing at least 3k a day. At the end of the first day at work, I look down at it and blink. It’s almost to 3k, but it’s not as many points as I thought it’d be worth. I was seriously disappointed to find out that I need to add more walking into my day. It’s not that I’m lazy, but honestly, with the hot weather and high humidity, I’m not one for being outside to increase my likelihood of having an asthma attack. Yet…there’s this part of me that’s wanting that 4k mark badly.
So, I’m plotting out my strategy for this weekend at work. I’ll stand more at my workstation, doing my walking in place to get more steps in. I’ll do my stretches, which my doctors are requiring of me anyway for my fibromyalgia. Those stretches count as they add up over time. Then on my breaks, I’ll walk a bit more instead of sitting and talking the entire time. That should help too. Perhaps I’ll even go for an afternoon stroll once I get home from work. There’s got to be a way!
Me and the pedometer. It’s an evil thing– and now I’m addicted to making that number go up!
As many of you may know, my male’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year. It’s been one reason we’ve been quiet and why you’ve seen me talk a lot on cancer, besides that my mom died from lung cancer. Well, his sister is going to be doing the 2 Day Walk this year in October in Atlanta. One of the things that this walk has done for her is given her a paid exercise program that helped build up her strength during her chemo treatments. Because it was completely paid for, it saved the family money and it helped researchers put together some more information in the battle against breast cancer.
Why am I telling you this? Because she’s part of a team who will be raising money for this fantastic walk. And we’re hoping to surprise her and possibly get up there to also take part in encouraging her with the walk. So, please if you can– contribute this fantastic charity. http://www.2daywalk.org/2010walker/beckyd
For all of you who’ve had family who has had breast cancer, you know what it’s like wanting a cure and knowing there’s not one out there. For those struggling, it’s a challenge some days to keep strong for the one who is suffering from this terrible sickness. But we do what we can to help find a cure each and every day. So please join me in this!

Seriously, I’m not kidding. I’ve got a new story coming out soon over at Aspen Mountain Press. Which is great because it’s their birthday at the end of the month. *grins* What you might ask, would the story be about? It would be a story I wrote a LONG time ago- one when I thought I could write contemporary and eschew a life of BDSM and paranormal. Little did I know that my past would come back and one of my editors would ask to see the story once more. Thus- Ride Me, Baby has a home and yes– it’s coming out in August.
Follow the noise of rejoicing! Yes, I am too. Granted I’m in edits for it and for Love Beyond Time. It took a major act of change to really get me grooving with both sets of edits now. I’m feeling better and at the same time, I’m feeling like I’m coming home at last. It’s not easy, oh gods, it’s so not easy. But at the same time, I’m at that point where I’m able to move myself forward now– see what I want to do and how to go about it. Which means one thing majorly– I’m getting into the writing habit because I’ve got to edit. LOL
The other happy thing is that by doing this, I’ve made myself happy. Really. I’m feeling so relieved and at the same time, happy to offer readers something they’ve never seen before from me. Part of me wonders what you’ll think, part of me hopes you’ll like it. Part of me wonders if this means that I can write contemporary on occasion. But happiness abounds regardless.
