Yeah, I know you are. So, what’s the deal, dude?

Are you a friend or what?

Are you ever going to say something?

Yes, you’re cloaked by the shadows of the night,

but I know.

I hope everyone here in the US had a great Thanksgiving. I did. I’d show pictures, but I lost my USB cord to my Sanyo camera. I ordered a new one online. Some reason, the standard doesn’t fit. I had a Sony but it is not working again. I have to cord to that one. Ugh.

Any plans for the weekend? Not me. I was going to do the book signing tomorrow, but that won’t happen. My book wasn’t ordered…although  heard one of the other authors (with a small press) had hers ordered no problem. So, uh, why wasn’t mine, a book with Simon & Schuster, not ordered? Things that make me hate bookstore signings just a bit more. I remember one I did in Tallahassee at the local B&N in the Tallahassee Mall. The manager stuck us in the back of the store where no one would find us. It was a wasted day IMHO. They didn’t want us there…until WCTV showed up. Yeah, I was on the news that night. Still…

I’m going to see if I can do a book signing here in my town during one of the upcoming events–Victorian Christmas.Even if I just do a meet and greet, that would be cool. You know, the local author helping out at the small town bookstore. Not a bad idea. Maybe I should talk to them tomorrow.

The picture is of my kitten Mittens, although I call her Booboo because she has a thing for playing peekaboo. I took it with my phone.  She’s all checked out by the vet too. Nice and healthy. I’ll be honest, I was so damn down for weeks, and this little kitten has really helped. She is a little ball of fluff and mischief, and she makes me laugh.

Anyway, I don’t have plans now for the weekend. I should do some writing. I don’t know if that will happen with brother here and my mom coming over every day. Not that I am complaining. I just don’t see writing as one of the things I’ll be doing much of. I did add more to my WIP the other day, but I didn’t tally it yet.

Okay, I’m going to head probably head off to bed.

To my American readers,

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s going to be a slow week here. The holiday, the family, etc. Yeah, not much going to happen here for a few more days. Too busy…and nursing a badly sprained ankle. Ugh.

To my American fans, have great Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Be safe.

And…I miss U. I hope U have a good holiday. And your pal too.

I’m sitting here watching the new kitty playing in her play cube with a toy. Very sweet. Very playful. When she gets tired, she lays on the printer/scanner. There’s a “cat scan” joke in there somewhere. Angel (my dog) is not tolerating this new addition easily.

One interesting thing happened last night during my trip home from the airport. On the way down we spotted two deer. Not overly surprising right? No. But on the way home I swear a bobcat raced across the road. Yeah, a bobcat. I have two witnesses, my mom and brother both saw it as well.

The holiday is coming, and I have my brother here staying with us. He bought the Wii Sports Resort game and we played a little of that once the kids got home from school. The Wii Motion Plus attachment to the Wii remote is required to play, so we had to take turns. We need to get another one of the Motion Plus attachments.

Ugh. Holidays.

Eh…

I got nothin’ to say today. Enjoy the clip of Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) meeting Shakespeare in the past…

All I went to the pet store for was Frontline….but then the store owner said he had some free kittens…and I saw her. I knew she was meant to come home with me. My girls loved her on sight too. They named her Mittens.

Yeah, the dogs are still excitable about the new little one.  She has taken to laying on my desk. I have a feeling she is going to be a great little writing pal.
