Today in the Big Apple

I really can't talk about life here in New York City without mentioning the naked cowboy. You know the guy who stands in Time Square wearing tighty whities, cowboy boots, a guitar and a cowboy hat? Real cute.

I'm not going to say a word about the litigation between the cowboy and the makers of M&Ms candy, something that lately seems to be the hottest topic here in this grand city! I'm just going to say I don't mind --not at all-- seeing that guy on the news night after night.

So glad to be living in the Big Apple!

I Want Candy...

Aren't the Candy covers gorgeous? I'm thrilled to have a story in each one! What more could a girl ask for, than to be nestled into a beautiful package and surrounded by lots of other tempting, tasty and sinfully delightful morsels? Not a thing!

The books can be purchased here.

Heading South

It has been rainy, snowy and miserable in the Big Apple this week. I've had enough!

Mickey and I are heading down to Florida this evening and plan on staying where the sun shines and the water is warm until the middle of next week. What's the sense of having a place in Key West if we don't use it? During the summer it's beastly hot down there but right about now it's just perfect. So, we're off!

Have a great weekend!

What a week

Sometimes a week feels like...three weeks. Don't you just hate weeks like that?

This past week we've spent most days and evenings at the hospital. Mickey's uncle is ill and although it's been a scary few days it looks like things are going to be all right. Thank God!

Anyhow, hope you've all had a great week. I'm looking forward to catching up on laundry, mail and life.

The best laid plans

Even though Mickey and I were jazzed about going to the movies last night, hoping the weather wouldn't shut us down we didn't go. Really. And not because of the weather, either. In the end we just got rain. No ice. No snow. Just rain.

But we got a great surprise. Friends of ours, Brian and Jenna, were in town from Florida because Jenna's friend from college just had a baby. A girl, by the way. Emily Rose--just gorgeous! The photos are beautiful--she's got big blue eyes and a round face, really sweet looking. Anyway, Brian and Jenna originally planned to go straight back home but we convinced them to stay the weekend.

We were up waaay too late last night. Ordered in Chinese which was amazing. The three bottles of wine we drank made for a very happy evening. Actually I'm surprised I don't have a headache this morning but I don't! Thank God!

Today, Tribeca. Lunch out. Maybe tonight a movie, but probably not. There's a new Thai restaurant Mickey and I have been thinking of checking out. What better way to do that than in the company of good friends? Yeah, Thai sounds good to me...

Today in the Big Apple

We're under a winter storm watch. Ugh. Right now the sky is just cloudy but the prediction is for ice. Actually, ice balls. Ugh.

All I want to know is, will we be able to keep our Friday night movie date tonight? Really, I'm going to be peeved if we have a power failure and Mickey and I can't go see the movie I've picked. I'm not going to tell you what one I'm jonesing to see because I want to see it first, then tell you what I think. And, too, ask whether or not you've seen it--and what you thought!

So let's hope the ice balls hold off. The rest of the weekend is going to be taken up by the whole Superbowl thing!

The Love Month begins...

You Would Do Most Things For Love

You are willing to go pretty far for love - but not far enough to compromise your core values. Love is a priority for you, and you'll go further than most people to hold on to someone you love. But killing for love? Or even taking a bullet? Probably out of the question. No matter what, you love yourself the most!

Would You Do Anything For Love?

Countdown to Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! Are you in the mood for love? If you are, or even if you're not quite there yet, my Valentine Vixens title, Recipe for Love, just might be what the love doctor ordered! I've gotten lots of great reader feedback on it. I've gotten lots of requests, too, for the "secret recipe" but I'll just have to keep that little secret to myself. *BG* Although if any of you have secret love recipes you'd like to share, I'd love to hear them!

Hope you have fun preparing for Valentine's Day. It's easily my favorite holiday!

"Recipe For Love was a super hot, comical short tale that will have you glued to your seat and eagerly turning the pages until the very last words are read. I gobbled this wonderful novella up in one quick setting. I was constantly being flip-flopped between full-blown lustful images to moments that had me bowing over with laughter. Gabi’s Nonna was a hoot and a force to be reckoned with. She was definitely not your typical granny. The sexual encounters displayed in Recipe for Love were deliciously naughty and fun-loving. I really enjoyed reading this Valentine’s Day story and it certainly had me wishing for a sample the famous recipe."

Psyche? Color? Hmm?

Your Psyche is Violet

You are spiritual, intuitive, and serene. People trust you to rescue them from bad situations, and you usually come through.While you are quite enlightened, you find that your path is very lonely. When you are too violet: you can't connect to ordinary life or ordinary people When you don't have enough violet: you lack wisdom and can't learn from the past

What Color Is Your Psyche?

Friday Night at the Movies

Last night Mickey and I went to the movies. Typical Friday night behavior, isn't it? Yeah, we're predictable. But hey, we still hold hands, even after longer than I'd care to admit! Still honeymooners!

Anyhow, enough about our love life. ;-)

I love going to the movies. Always have, ever since I was little girl. My parents would dress me in my pajamas, pack me into the family station wagon and head to the drive-in on Friday nights. I loved it. Friday is still my favorite night for going to the movies. Mickey indulges me but I'm not allowed to wear my pjs anymore! At least not to the theater!

So last night we saw Juno. If you haven't seen it yet I definitely suggest trying to catch it. It does deal with the issue of unplanned teen pregnancy in a way that doesn't diminish the serious situation this young girl finds herself in but also doesn't over-the-top dramatize it. I mean, young girls get pregnant. It happens. This girl has a supportive environment and is concerned about the life of her unborn child. This coming-of-age tale is entertaining. I enjoyed it, and Mickey did too.

Or maybe Mickey was just in it for the popcorn. I can never tell with him. :)

Coming Soon, a Craving!

Isn't this gorgeous?

Life in the Big Apple

In the mid-winter grey, slushy, gross messiness there is a bright spot. Actually several bright spots. Lots and lots of bright, shining, glittery, flourescent spots. Do you know what I'm talking about? Hmm?

That's it! You're right--the spring clothing lines are out in the stores. Everywhere you look the messy greyness of winter is banished, replaced by bright colors. Spring is in the air even if slush is on the ground.

Me, I'm into retail therapy. Big time. My closet is filling with gorgeous colors, shimmery fabrics and some things that are already new favorites.

I can't wait for warm weather! Unti then, I've got to, uh, go shopping.

Taxi!

Wicked Winter is Available!

I'm so excited! North Pole Naughty is now available in print! It is part of the Wicked Winter volume, available now! Buy the book here.

Valentine's Day shopping!

There are lots of skimpy things in the Florida shops that just scream Valentine's Day at me! Yesterday I saw a red lace camisole and thong set that I would have luuuurved to buy but, unfortunately, I wasn't shopping solo.

Mission for today? Go back and retrieve sexy undies.

Maybe, find something in black. Hey, a girl can't start shopping for Halloween pretties too early, can she? ;-)
