A Wet Monday.

Good morning to all of you lovely friends. I hope that you're in a good mood and welcoming this new week with open arms. Yes, Mondays usually suck, but just think of them as the start of something new and of all the possibilities that could show up. Each new week presents the opportunity for something great. You just have to be open to it!

This morning I was welcomed by an email containing the award banner for the Most Eye-Catching Cover. Yay! It makes me smile everytime I see that attached to MY book. It was a great way to start a Monday morning.

It's rainy and gross outside again this morning. Looks like a major chance of rain until the end of the week. Hopefully it will make for a beautiful, sunny weekend to come though.

This is Tim's first week of three days. It's a ten hour cut in his pay. Fingers crossed that it doesn't last long. Though, if it does, we'll get by. Just gotta convince Tim to stop begging for $60 video games. LOL!

I have my weekly "to-do" list staring at me, so I better get started. My little sister will be here in an hour because we're going to the gym together this morning. It's definitely more fun when you have someone to go with. Tim has been missing going to the gym with me. Looks like he'll be able to go with me two times a week now. LOL!

Have a great day! Hopefully your day isn't as wet as mine. :-)

Ooooohhhhh!!! It won!

Look everyone!! A Twilight Abduction won Most Eye-Catching Cover in the January edition of The New Covey Cover Awards! Woohoo!!

I'd been wondering about the contest since their site hadn't been updated with the winners yet. However, when I looked today there it was. I'm sooooo happy. A big thank you to everyone who took the time to vote back in January. You're all appreciated greatly.

Here you go if you'd like to check it out, and take a peek at the cover that won Most Artistic. It's quite interesting!

January 2009 Covey Winners

Thursdays are great days!

There's just something about Thursday. The week isn't quite over, but it's over enough to shout, "Yay, it's Thursday!" I like Thursdays. Tomorrow is Friday--my busy errands day--and the day I get to spend with the hubby.

Tim use to work what's called "Four Tens". Meaning he worked four days a week for ten hours a day. He was always off on Fridays and we'd have the best time. We would only have the youngest with us, so we could easily run my weekly errands and then go out for lunch together. We'd spend all day together. It was nice.

Then his work decided to change them all back to five day a week and we lost our Fridays together, basically alone (yes, when you have 3 kids and only 1 is home, you are basically alone. LOL).

NOW..... his work changed them back to four tens!! Tomorrow is his first Friday off. Woohoo! I don't know if it'll last, but I'm definitely going to enjoy our time while we have it.

Hmmm, once the four year old goes to school in August 2010, I may not get anything done on Fridays if Tim's home. We may not even leave the house! *wink, wink* LOL! I can't believe it's almost time to think about my days without any children home. That's just a fantastical scenario to consider... yet it's just around the proverbial corner, isn't it? Wow!

On a different note, thank you to all who voted on A Twilight Abduction yesterday. I hope that you'll pass it on if you know anyone who'd like to vote. I appreciate all the comments, emails, and shows of support from everyone. I know I can always count on a wonderful group of friends, family, and fans to help a gal out. :-)

Alright, I guess I better go. I heard the dryer stop and my warm, soft, cozy Egyptian Cotton sheets are calling my name. Too bad it's only to put them back on the bed instead of climbing between them for the rest of the day. LOL!

Have a beautiful Thursday!
