Thought I’d share these two pics to help us all cool off!

What do you do to cool off when the temperature soars? Or do you like the heat?

THIS JUST IN! Want a chance to win a $50 Visa Gift Card? Go to MURDER SHE WRITES, answer the questions posed by Toni McGee Causey and tell her I sent you! If your name is drawn, we BOTH win.

No? Then how ’bout fuzzy critters and kids? What’s a better way to make it over the middle of the week and start that wonderful downhill slide to the weekend?

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m ready for a nap! Have a great Wednesday.

Because these guys should be hiding in my closet:

And because I think this is one of the coolest videos ever.

Oh, the uncertainty of the English language! I’ve caught myself writing some pretty silly scenarios but when Lawyer Guy sent these to me, I knew I had to share. Beverage alert…just sayin’!

Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and family values.

Stu said, ‘I didn’t sleep with my wife before we got married, did you?’

Leroy replied, ‘I’m not sure, what was her maiden name?’
———————————————————

A little boy went up to his father and asked: ‘Dad, where did my intelligence come from?’

The father replied. ‘Well, son, you must have got it from your mother, cause I still have mine.’
——————————————————–
‘Mr. Clark, I have reviewed this case very carefully,’ the divorce Court Judge said, ‘And I’ve decided to give your wife $775 a week.’

‘That’s very fair, your honor,’ the husband said. ‘And every now and then I’ll try to send her a few bucks myself.’
———————————————————
A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, ‘I don’t like the looks of your wife at all.’

‘Me neither doc,’ said the husband. ‘But she’s a great cook and really good with the kids.’
———————————————————–
An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years.

The Wizard says, ‘Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that
were used to put the curse on you.’

The old man says without hesitation, ‘I now pronounce you man and wife.’
———————————————————-
Two Reasons Why It’s So Hard To Solve A Redneck Murder:
1. The DNA all matches..
2. There are no dental records.
———————————————————-
A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, ‘Can you tell me how long it’ll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City?’

The agent replies, ‘Just a minute.’

‘Thank you,’ the blonde says, and hangs up.
———————————————————
Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez. ‘How was he killed?’ asked one detective.

‘With a golf gun,’ the other detective replied.

‘A golf gun! What is a golf gun?’

‘I don’t know. But it sure made a hole in Juan.’
———————————————————–
Moe: ‘My wife got me to believe in religion.’

Joe: ‘Really?’

Moe: ‘Yeah. Until I married her I didn’t believe in Hell.’
———————————————————-
A man is recovering from surgery when the Surgical Nurse appears and asks
him how he is feeling.

‘I’m OK but I didn’t like the four letter-words the doctor used in surgery,’ he answered.

‘What did he say,’ asked the nurse.

‘Oops!’
————————————————————
While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of
bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had
even considered buying a bathing suit, so sought my husband’s advice.
‘What do you think?’ I asked. ‘Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?’

‘Better get a bikini,’ he replied. ‘You’d never get it all in one.’

He’s still in intensive care.
…………………………………………………………….
The graveside service just barely finished when there was massive clap of thunder followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance.

The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, ‘Well, she’s there.’

I want to be this lady when I grow up. Srsly!

Off to the hairdresser in a bit. Still not sure what I’m going to do. Rhonda and I will discuss it. I have pics on the iPhone for inspiration. I’ll keep y’all posted.

Enjoy your day!

I’m plowing through edits on FAERIE FIRE and adding words to FAERIE FOOL. This week will be blog-lite. LOL. Today, I show off my prides and joy. Sunday afternoon, The Only participated in a “living history” style show at the Territorial Museum in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Featuring fashions from 1889 to 1907, The style show also included some “theatre.” The afternoon was fun. Here’s a couple of pics of The Only. That’s her in the darker dress on the right in the first pic. In the middle pic, she’s showing off her Victorian boots, and in the last, she’s wearing the Victorian equivalent of comfy clothes–a day dress for home wear. Dude! I much prefer my tank and comfy pants. Just sayin’!

And now, update pics of the fuzzypups. You can see how much Cooper has grown. The first pic is one I took when Cooper was 2 months old. I took the last two yesterday. Cooper is 5 months old now.

This is what I look like when I get more edits back. I’m a bit defiant, not a happy camper, and just a bit surly. I tend to walk around growling under my breath, especially when I’m not sure the revisions are warranted. (I did lobby to keep Tir Nan Og as the trilogy name, but haven’t heard back from Ms. Editor yet.) It doesn’t help that I feel like this. I just want to crawl into bed, pull the covers over my head and sleep. Edits are a good thing. Deep down I know that. They keep me from making mistakes like this.

You guys are absolutely the best about propping me up when I get discouraged. You keep me from looking like Mad Kitty(tm) all the time! You make me smile and give me the courage to keep working to get the words just right for you. I really want ya’ll to read and enjoy my books. While I would write anyway–I have WAY too many characters and plots cluttering up my imagination as is–I still write *for* ya’ll.

But now it’s Friday. I need to really knuckle down to edits. In addition, I have two stories warring in my head–Aggie and her zombies are whispering in one ear and Rory and Delaney (the H/H from FAERIE FOOL) are whispering in the other. This weekend, I have OKRWA (YAY!) and Merline Lovelace is doing a book signing before the meeting. I plan to dash up to see her and grab the new Lt. Samantha Spade book. Maybe I’ll give that away this month! Until then, I need a margarita, STAT! I have no clue what I’m cooking up for brunch tomorrow. It’ll be a surprise to all of us! Until then, thanks! And if anyone is interested, Liza posted her review of FAERIE FATE. Thanks, Liza! You made my night and today, too!
