Fun times, amazing friends

Well today was a very interesting day. The kids had a snow day.  They love it.  I on the other hand,,, well let’s just say what with a hand that’s not 100%, shoveling can take it’s tole.  And with my hand hurting no matter what way I move it, I haven’t been able to commit to doing much writing.  Which totally irks me like you wouldn’t believe.   I was hoping to have so much written to have ready for it’s launch at Sci-Fi on the Rock 8 in May, but I don’t see that happening now.  Not with my hand the way it is.

I know, I know,,, if I’m able to blog, I should be able to write.  To tell you the truth, I’ve lost my inspiration.  Especially with that one bad review from my first book.  I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, I had myself all prepared for the bad comments, but when it came to actually reading what they had written, it hit me.  Though, thinking back on it, I find it convenient that they say all this nasty things with a fake name.  I mean, really???  How lame does someone need to be to hide behind their computer screen, use a fake name, and be mean to someone who’s new to the writing scene.  At least I had the balls to put myself out there, with everything I do.  What has this person ever done that they could be proud of.

I need to thank my many friends who PM’d me in Facebook to voice their support.  You guys are the best buddies ever.  You all are never very far if I’m feeling down and need a great pick-me-up.  Case in point to an awesome friend who had me literally jumping up and down in my kitchen, laughing out loud.  Literally. LOL  It’s a good thing I was alone at the time, cause I think my family would have thought I was nuts.  Paco.  And I just giggled again as I typed his name, Paco. 🙂  My crazy, sweet, awesome friend, don’t ever change.  🙂

He posted a picture of what the weather was like at his location.  And it was nasty, snowing really bad.  So after I read a couple of comments, I had to make one.  And wouldn’t you know it,, he actually done my suggestion and posted the picture on my timeline.  (Laughing as I type all this again).  The suggestion was to make a snowman, with sunglasses on, a Cuban cigar, and a beer.  Bless you Paco, that really made my day yesterday.

For the past week or so, I have been helping my daughter’s (who’s 10) fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  The name of the fundraiser was Jump Rope for Heart.  I’m so proud of her for wanting to take this on.  And I want to thank those who were able to donate online.  I know not everyone seeing my posting on Facebook and Twitter could help.  But I am grateful to those who shared the link to help spread the word.  I’m proud to say that in total, she’s raised $160.  🙂  Most of it was from online donations, so to those of you who donated, bless you all. xoxo

I apologize for spamming up Facebook and Twitter timelines, lol.  But I think anyone who’s child shows any interest in something, to support them the best you can, and to give it your all.  And I hope that she knows how much I’ve been there to back her up on this, and hope that she does something like this again in the future.

Anyway, thank you all for popping by to read my thoughts.  I hope you had a nice giggle, or found some sort of inspiration to do something for a worthy cause, or to help someone less fortunate.

Until next time.

New day, new adventures.

Sorry I didn’t blog last night.  I’ve been trying to post something fun and interesting each night before I shut down for the night.  But having a sick child home yesterday, and a headache last night, I just wasn’t in the mood.

Now where to start.  Oh yes,, yesterday. 🙂

Well sending one child off to school, the youngest one stayed home.  She wasn’t feeling the best, sniffing and sneezing, so I kept her home.  Mind you she didn’t get much sleep last night either, but she wants to go in today.  So in she goes.

Last night, hubby and watched a new TV show called 19 2.  It’s an English version of a French show in Montreal from years ago.  It’s a great show, with LOTS of potential.  Obviously it’s a cop show.  It has a lot of new faces that I haven’t seen on TV before.  But there’s three that stands out.  Adrian Holmes, Benz Antoine and Mylene Dinh-Robic.

If you missed the premier debut Wednesday night on Bravo (I confess, I’m one of them), they show it again on CTV for the following night (which was when I actually seen it), but you can go to the Bravo website and catch up there.  Or get the Bravo Go app (which is what I’ll be doing next).

I had a massive headache last night, but I wasn’t missing this show.  Have to show support for awesome Canadian shows.  Plus it helps to have gorgeous actors, 😉

As for today, I have a list of things that I need to accomplish at some point today.  With housework, running errands, and trying to write, I really need to invest in the possibility of cloning myself.  Well if they can do it to animals, why can’t they do it for people.  Then again, I guess the reason for that is we might end up looking like the Asgards on Stargate, lol

For now, I’ll sign off.  But be sure that I’ll be back later tonight to write about the adventures I’ve gotten myself into, 🙂

Thankx for popping in.  Until next time.
