I’m not a big Birthday girl. The way I see, it’s my birthday and I’m a year older. But this year was great. My friends were wonderful, both my online friends and the friends I talk to on the phone. (Note to self, do not mention how much cake I’ve consumed to Shar).  I got myself a cake, didn’t have cake in it, but I forgive Friendly’s because the ice cream plus icing was yummy! I’ll get myself another cake maybe at Baskin Robbins just to make up for it. Hey! It’s my Birthday Week. LOL. The contest is going great, so many wonderful people have agreed to send me things to include in the prize packs and the way things are going, I’m gonna need a bigger box for the grand prize winner. Why does this make me think of Jaws or was it Jaws? You know where they say, ‘We’re going to need a bigger boat.’ It’s been so long since I’ve watched that movie and to be honest that movie terrified me and made me afraid to go into the ocean. And yet I watch Shark Week on the Discovery Channel and actually like sharks now. Still won’t watch the movie, well now that I’ve seen some behind the scenes stuff for the movie. Big white turd. LOL. Speaking of movies, I’m debating on whether or not to see Harry Potter in theaters, but I’ll wait to make my decision. I want to see Death at a Funeral, it looks funny.

Speaking of Harry Potter, I was watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann, I think it was on Monday and he had a great idea about how the 7th book ends. It fits perfectly and I never would have thought of it. If you don’t want to know, don’t watch it. If you do click here. Well that’s all I can think of to blog about for now. Hugs all around.

Ain’t it pretty? I just adore it! This is the shirt I got from Ro’s Simply Simone Inc. launch party! All shirts are one of kind, unique, nothing like it! So get your butts over to their site and get em while their there!

Anyway, I’ve been feeling out of it lately, I haven’t written anything in almost four days. But I have so many ideas. I swear listening to 30 Seconds to Mars makes me want to write love scenes! Jared Leto is such a passionate singer. But on the contest front things are going great! So far I’ve gotten a lot of cool things to put into the prize pack . I’m scared and excited, this is the biggest contest I’ve ever done. I hope to do more things like this in the future, hopefully when I’m published. . Anyway, Hugs all around.

P.S. I’d like to do a Gay Pride Day on all my Blogs, any authors interested, leave a comment or contact me.

A friend of mine decided to launch a business. It was a T-Shirt business. Yesterday she and her sister had their official launch party for Simply Simone Inc. I had so much fun and it was great seeing how everyone reacted when they got the shirts they were given. But most of all it was great to see Ro and her sister, Arlinda, realize their dream of opening up their own business. Arlinda is very talented, she designs some wonderful, creative, flirtatious, cute and sassy shirts. Words don’t really describe how great these shirts are. I’m so proud to have been apart of something that means so much to my friend. So, to check out the site and the T-Shirts you can either go to:

http://www.simplysimoneinc.com/

or

Another bonus of going to the launch party was meeting Eve Vaughn (one day short people will rule the world! Mwhahahaha. Pffffttt), Paz Edwards and Shawna (from Eve’s loop and Marilyn Lee’s Loop). It was great to put faces to names and hang out with some amazing, wonderful, funny people. I had a great time.

All I can say is I wish, Ro, Arlinda, Eve and Paz great luck whether it be a T-Shirt business or writing and getting published. I’m so proud to have these wonderful people as my friends. I hope that we all get to hang out at RT although none of you are getting me drunk got it. I’m having one Bailey’s and behaving myself , f*** me pumps and all. LOL.

Uh, what f***me pumps you ask well, for my birthday one of my requests was a pair of really cute pumps. These are what they look like: Click Here

Uh, when did they come in black. Dammit now I’m going to have to get another pair! *Adds that color to her wish list* Moving on, what do you think? Too high? Well, the thing is I tried walking in them and what do you know, I can! LOL. Anyway, I think I may have my first free story. Once Missing You has been posted on the Pink Chair Diaries then I can possibly post the sequel with the lead male character’s brother as the lead. I got a lot done yesterday, almost 3,000 words and over ten pages! Whoo hoo!

Now about the Pink Chair Diaries so far we have three count em three amazing stories already posted Jet Mykles’ M/M story, Celia Kyle’s M/F story and Maura Anderson’s M/F story. All of them HOT, all them amazing, creative and sexy. All I can say is, it’s an honor to be apart of this project and be on the same site as these wonderful creative ladies. I just hope that my story will live up to what has been posted so far. *crosses fingers* Oh and I have to say it again, if you are an erotic romance author looking for someone to design your site please check out http://www.literalseduction.com/ . My friend, web mistress and writing partner (I roped her into writing a story with me) designs the sites. Eeehhh being surrounded by so much talent is sooo exciting and can make a girl nervous. I’ll deal with it.

The items from the authors has been coming in for the contest. I am so excited! I know, I know when is the contest? Well, I will probably make an announcement on my birthday for the rules and the deadline will be until the end of the month to give everyone a chance to enter and for all the promo items to arrive. I had to order boxes since there is so much to give away aaannnddd there will be more than one winner. I’m getting extras of things so more than one person can share in all the fun. . Okay guys, gotta go. Hugs all around.

P.S. As soon as I can get a picture, I’ll post one of the shirt I got from the party. .

Holy Frak! This birthday is becoming so awesome, there are no words to describe how excited I am about the contest I’m putting together. I know, I know you want details well here are the few I’m willing to spill, over 25 authors so far have been gracious and kind and sooo awesome to take part in the contest. What the winner gets is an awesome prize pack with books, bookmarks, magnets, business cards, postcards and promo items.

My part in the prize pack, two books (Sex as a Second Language by Jamie Sobrato and The Ultimate Bite by Crystal Green), two Cds (Joshua Bell’s The Romantic Violin and Vanessa Mae’s The Best of Vanessa Mae) and a travel size bottle of The Healing Garden’s Passion Rose Body Mist.

This birthday is looking better by the second. I’m so excited for whoever wins this. The authors have been so generous and kind, I’m so happy to get the word out and help promote them this way. . Anyway, as soon as I have the wording down, I will post the extent of the prizes and rules. To enter it will probably be a question or something I just have to figure out what. I’m sorry to keep you guys waiting. But I hope when you read what the prize list entails you’ll think it was worth the wait. I’m still open to any authors who want to be included in the prize pack to contact me. Like I said I love promoting authors.

P.S. Is anyone else going to be doing a Harry Potter Read-A-Thon before the next book comes out? I know I am.

Get it off, get it off me! Evil Aurora Black, I blame Tilly for this.
