 #3 Sexy, stern and a little dangerous

Which one is your favorite? Happy Hump Day!

Poor Wizard is really sick with a cold I feel bad for him. He’s not whining but I can see he’s miserable. But the bright spot in our weekend was going to middle son’s for his girlfriend’s birthday. We asked, and they said it was fine to bring cold germs with us. And guess who was so excited to see us, he put on a bow tie?

This is “baby Jett” who is now nine months old. He’s a big boy! And so danged funny. He has these doggie expressions that are priceless. I had a great time playing with him. I also loved hanging out with my son and his girlfriend, who is more than much more than a girlfriend to us.

I’m racing toward the end of my book. As I write this on Sunday night, I’m going to take the rest of night off so I can tackle this fresh in the morning. I have a bit over a week to get to get this done and somewhat cleaned for my editor. It’s a big task, which are the best kind of challenge as long as I don’t Wizard’s cold! Usually I’m super lucky and only get the 27″mild” version of a cold so fingers crossed my luck holds!

And in a totally random aside,  I was talking to Wizard about fostering dogs, and he said he’d be totally willing to foster unicorns. Um…did I overdose him on cold meds or is he just messing with me?

So that was my weekend, how was yours?

Beware, Wizard might have a cold! Duck and cover people! Wizard + Cold = Nuclear Whining!

Which reminds me, the day that Wizard had surgery, CPA Boy was with me at the hospital.  So once Wizard was all prepped, his neurosurgeon came in and explain how “severe” Wizard’s ruptured disk was and what they needed to do. Trust me, he spared no details. Once they whisked Wizard off to the laboratory…uh operating room…CPA Boy and I were in the waiting room when he turns to me and says, “Mom we really dodged a bullet here.”

“How?” I asked.

“Because this is just a little major surgery. Dad could have a MAN COLD.”

I cracked up! And he was soooo right. (Yeah, I knew he was setting me up for a joke, but CPA Boy amuses me.)

But now this MAN COLD plague might have arrived. Sigh. People all around us are sick, so it’s not that much of a surprise. I’m not feeling that great either, but hoping it’s just sinuses.

Otherwise, I’m in the trenches with this book and the April 5th deadline bearing down. And oddly enough, life doesn’t stop just because I have a deadline, so there are family birthdays and assorted events

Oh yeah, I saw my RA doc yesterday, and he gave me his diagnoses of, “You’re a workaholic.” I asked for a prescription to work faster and more efficiently, but he wasn’t helpful at all. He’s very helpful with my RA though.

This weekend we’re planning to go to middle sons if Wizard is well enough. If not, I’m going to be fulfilling my doctor’s “workaholic” diagnosis.

What are your weekend plans?

Our candidate today seems to be having a little trouble with his towel

What do you think? Is he worthy?

Saturday was awesome! I got out to see a friend for lunch and has a great time. Sunday was half good and half so damn hard. I worked until my hands were swollen and nerves frayed with not enough pages to show for it. But you know what? It’s supposed to be hard. I’m challenging myself and my characters to grow and take risks. But I’m going to keep at it and make that April 5th deadline.

Now for today’s good news. It’S HERE!!!  Ta Da!

That’s my weekend, how was yours?

Happy Friday! Okay let’s do our Friday Five.

1. Wednesday I saw an adorable shar pei puppy that looked just like this picture. One of the girls at the gym brought him in to show her co-workers. He was adorably wrinkled! 
2. I picked up my new glasses yesterday. I was going to take a picture…but the day got away from me. I’ll try to get a pic next week. It’s going to take me a day or two to determine if the glasses are the right prescription, or a little too strong. My vision is pretty bad, so bad in fact that Wizard tried them on then got a migraine. I’d like to think it’s a coincidence, but probably not. (FYI, I warned him! He has meds that stop his migraine, and he was fine last night.)
3. DEADLINE TERROR, I has it.
4. Wizard mowed the lawn for the first time yesterday. He’s doing well in his back surgery recovery. It’s 8 1/2 weeks now.
5. I’m reading a boring book. Bleh. The only reason I haven’t given up on it because it puts me to sleep at night, LOL! I can’t afford to get hooked into a good book right now, because of the aforementioned DEADLINE TERROR

That’s my Friday Five. Now it’s your turn to share yours. Have a great weekend!

I don’t have a Wednesday Worthy candidate today. You know how it is, when it rains it pours. Not only do we have the premature baby on Wizard’s side, but Sunday night my brother-in-law had a medical emergency that landed him in the hospital. It’s been a scary week, and Wizard and I are both twitching every time one of us gets a phone call or text message.

The good news is the baby is doing okay so far. And last night my brother-in-law was released so we’re all breathing a little easier.

I need everyone to please just be healthy, safe and have a Happy Hump Day. Hopefully next week, I’ll be back up to speed with a Wednesday Worthy Candidate.
