I couldn’t find anyone that totally rocked my world, so today you all get to choose between two contenders:

Candidate number 1

-or-

Candidate number 2

So what do you think? Number 1? Number 2? Or pass?

We had a great weekend. Everyone came over for Youngest birthday on Sunday. Turbo turned 11 months old yesterday, and he’s gone from beginning walker to an expert in a week. He was all over and having a great time. Of course it rained, and Wizard was out barbecuing tri tip and chicken in it, but he did a great job.

Today I’m going to try to go to the gym, I’d say there’s about a 50/50 chance I’ll actually go, especially if it’s raining I’m definitely writing today!

So that was my weekend, how was yours?

It’s time for Friday Five:

1. Wowzers, did we get rain! I think the worst of it is over as I type this, but Yikes! We were worried, and a few miles down the road from us, the runoff was so bad, it collapsed the foundation of a house. The street that divides us from the hills is closed with mud, but we’re fine so far! Talk about Murphy’s Law–we’re in a drought for years, then we have a massive forest fire, followed by the most rain in a decade or more!
2. Very little writing My restructure is working so far, but I need a breakthrough here. Next week!
3. Happy Belated Valentines Day to everyone! Wizard and I planned to have dinner at a little Italian place my our house. I’m writing this blog before we leave, but that’s the plan unless we can’t get there due to road closures rom the rain.
4. All this rain makes Maggie sad. She misses her walks, and sticks close to us.
5. We’re celebrating Youngest son’s birthday this weekend. We’re having all the family to my house, but I’m keeping it pretty simple. I’ll be baking some non-dairy cookies which is a first, so we’ll see how that turns out. Youngest is so forgiving, I’m not too worried.

So that’s my five, now I’d love to hear yours!

It’s hump day! And here in California, we are getting served the Rainy Edition. Again

But let’s move onto our candidate for today. And let me just say that I don’t care how hot he is, if he’s not bringing me decadent chocolate cake, I’m not interested. I’ve wanted good chocolate cake since last August and been doomed to repeated disappointment   Umm…did I get off topic? Anyway…

…what do you think is he worthy?

Friday we booked our Hawaii trip. I’m shocked we actually did it since we’re financially conservative–or as our kids would say–cheap. I’m not going to announce dates online, but we’re talking spring. Despite tight finances, we are both very excited. Well I was excited, until Wizard mentioned that I need to buy a new swimsuit. And that explains my Monday morning diet plan (don’t worry, I’ll be hungry and over it by noon, or if I see chocolate, whichever comes first).

Saturday, I saved a new draft of my book, and am going back to change the order of things. Can anyone say frustrating???? I’ve known since the first of the year that I should do this, but I kept trying to work around it, and basically spun in circles. But hey, at least I’m back in the fight!

Sunday, Wizard went racing, and I went to hang out with my grandson, Turbo. That kid is walking better and better!

That was my weekend. How was yours?

So…it’s Friday? All week, I’ve been confused on what day it is. Sometimes I do that on one day, but it’s been Every Single Day! So if it’s not Friday, let’s just play along!

1. I know how to write a book. No really, I do! Or I did…can we forget how to write a book? Never mind, I don’t want to talk about it!
2. Maggie is clean and pretty! I took her down to get a bath and grooming. She’s not a fan of water or blow driers, but she loves the girls there and likes hanging out with all the daycare dogs there.
3. We sorted out some health insurance things. Yep, that’s the kind of exciting life we live here in The Lyon Lair, LOLOL!!
4. Wizard and I are deciding today if we will pull the trigger and book our vacation. It depends on a few factors, like if the flights are still available, and if we can bring ourselves to–gulp–spend the money. Stay tuned! I’m losing so much writing time to this decision! Oh, and believe it or not, Wizard is worrying about leaving Maggie at boarding for a week He doesn’t want her to think we aren’t coming back for her.
5. This weekend, I’m may be seeing Baby Slayer if all goes well (things are a bit chaotic in the aftermath of the car accident, but they are fine.) Baby Slayer’s mom called him Turbo in a recent video once, and I may steal that name! Or Rocket Otherwise, I’m going to roll up my sleeves and kick some book bootie!

As you can see, I’ve had a quiet week. Busy with a bunch of boring stuff, but nothing noteworthy. How was your week? I really want to know!! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

It’s hump day and you know what to do!

This guy appears to be in a hurry (or he’s running from my book–because it’s a big scary monster that can’t be tamed–Grrr!!)

So what do you think, is he worthy?
