Today I don’t have a super sexy guy, what I have are my personal heroes this week:

The firefighters are battling wildfires all over California. As for the fire that broke out Monday in the hills right over my house, as of last night when I wrote this blog, they’ve kept the fire from jumping the ridgeline. That line is really important, once it gets over that ridge, we are in serious trouble here in my neighborhood, and a couple neighboring neighborhoods. We are very grateful for how hard the firefighters are working, along with the pilots flying the nonstop water and fire-retardant dropping runs.

In other news, the A/C repair guy should be out today. We are desperately hoping he can fix the air TODAY. We’ve had Maggie in boarding for two nights now, and I hope to pick her up this afternoon. But if the A/C isn’t fixed or the fire flares up, we may have to leave her another night where she’s safe and cool.

Next week, I hope to bring back the Wednesday Worth Hunk

The good news: The bridal shower on Saturday was great! What’s not to love? We celebrated one of my favorite niece’s upcoming wedding, and I got to spend the day with my three favorite women (my daughter in law, and my two soon-to-be-daughter in laws), visit family, and spend some time with Baby Slayer, who came by the shower to charm all the girls.

The bad: Our air conditioning went out Saturday evening. We’ll call today and try to get someone out here, but it’s likely going to be a long hot week. The temps are miserable, soaring over a 100 degrees with humidity. I’m going to try to write and keep Maggie cool. Tuesday I have my surgical consult, and naturally it’s at least an hour or more from my house, depending on traffic. The upside of that is at least I’ll be cool for a few hours

That’s my weekend, how was yours?

Wait, what? It’s Friday? This was another one of those wicked fast weeks! Okay let’s see if I can think of five things about my week:

1. Wizard likes Dress #2 over Dress #1 for Middle Son’s wedding. I like Dress #2, but it’s slightly scratchy under my arms so I have to be sure it won’t become painful. Good thing I still have 2 months I wonder if there will be a Dress #3??? I normally just find a dress and I’m done. This is new for me.
2. I’m able to write some now, which is great, but I’m so stumped on making this timeline work. I’m going to shift scenes around and see if that works.
3. Yesterday was my birthday, and we went to dinner. I was looking forward to chocolate cake all day long. Dinner was not that great, and then after we ordered dessert, the server came back and told us they were all out of chocolate cake, and had been all day long. Some years are like that.
4. We visited Baby Slayer on Wednesday and had so much fun. He’s soooo active. I’m laughing my butt off. He just wants to go, go, go! Good luck to his parents trying to keep up
5. Tomorrow I’m going to a bridal shower for my niece. I’m going early to help set up, so it’ll be a long day, but a lot of fun!

So that’s my five, now it’s time to share yours! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Hump Day! So…

Who else likes pockets in their sweatpants?

Just asking for a friend…LOLOL! Sometimes I really crack myself up. What? Okay yeah, I’ve had one glass of wine. ONE! I swear it. But since I’m in a ugly battle with my book that’s going to involve moving and restructuring scenes and I have no idea what I’m doing, I should get a second glass.

But before I could pour that second glass, and just as I started to post this blog, I remembered to check the rice cooking on the stove.

No, I didn’t burn the house down.

But I as a was rushing back to my desk, I sliced the side of my foot open (okay it’s just a deep scratch, but there was blood) on the plastic plastic thingie under my desk. It’s there so I can roll my chair around and, apparently, cause myself great bodily damage.

Right now, Maggie’s looking at me like, How is that even possible? 

Sigh… so anyway, do you think he and his pockets are worthy?

Sadly, I’m obviously going to pass on a second glass of wine because I’m obviously an extreme danger to myself after just one glass

Ugh, so as I’m trying to write this blog on Sunday night, there are about a dozen trolls in my stomach trying to punch their way out. I’ll be fine by the time this blog posts early Monday morning, it’s just my over sensitive stomach objecting to a couple of food choices. But this will be a short blog because right now, the trolls are winning

Saturday, I got some writing done. I thought I’d have more time to shore up the scenes on Sunday, but Baby Slayer and his parents came over and stayed most of the day.  We had so much fun, it was totally worth a few lost writing hours! What’s really interesting is how much Baby Slayer is getting interested in Grandpa Wizard now. He’s always gravitated to me somewhat, but now he’s fascinated by Wizard and their bond is really beginning to grow. I love it!

And Maggie adores him! So far, she’s good with him too. Once they left, she was exhausted and crashed, LOL!

Today I’m writing, shoring up the scenes I wrote Saturday and then will keep moving forward on SAVAGED DEVOTION.

So that was my weekend, how was yours?

Happy Friday! Let’s do five random things about our week.

1. Maggie went to the groomers/boarding place yesterday and got a bath. I could, and have, given her baths at home. But I’m not cutting her nails. That scares me.
2. The book is driving me crazy. But at least I can write a bit more than I was able to do which is great.
3.  People who start fires are assholes.
4. I ordered another potential dress for middle son’s wedding because…I’m undecided. LOL! I’ll figure it out but at least one dress is going to be returned.
5. Okay so I’ve debated telling this. When Maggie and I walk in the early morning, we’ve encountered the same homeless person three times now. This is really unusual up where we live just because it’s not near anything useful, and its a bit of a hike up some fairly steep streets. Just so you know, I’m careful and aware that this could be dangerous, and I’ll be varying my route. But that’s not why I’m telling you. This guy just didn’t make sense to me. The past two times I saw him, he was sleeping or pretending to be. But this morning, he was sitting on the curb with his pack next to him. He was hunched in on himself and reading what appeared to be a text book and waiting, but I don’t know what for–a ride maybe? He was also younger than I’d expected too. The image just haunts me. My heart wants to find out the story, but my common sense isn’t going to allow that.

That was my week. Now it’s your turn to share your Friday Five Hope everyone has a great weekend!

It’s Wednesday and it’s HOT, so of course, I chose this candidate for Wednesday Worthy to bring the heat…and sweat…

So what do you think? Is he worthy?
