It's Here!

My copy of The Forgotten Disturbed arrived today -- Two Days Early! I've just started on chapter two, and must honestly say that I'm enjoying the book. The end of the Prologue caught my attention and I'm anxious to find out ... well, I won't say what I'm anxious to find out because I don't want to "spoiler" the book for everyone else!

Nothing much going on otherwise. Work, tacos last night, watching Criminal Minds (and they need to stop taking actors I like and making them creepy!) Tomorrow is Survivor night and I really, really hope that they vote off Coach.

Commercial is over.

Sunday

And another weekend is drawing to a close, and it's back to work in the morning. Was up early as usual and met The Kids for a late breakfast. The Boy then went for a class on fly fishing (just for the heck of it) and The Girl and I wandered around the mall. Had a nice time, bought a pair of earrings and she bought a necklace. Spent a lot of time at the bookstore and didn't buy anything in there. Maybe because I still haven't finished the first of the Sword of Truth series (and there are 12 books in the series); nor have I finished P&P&Z. Plus, the book my brother just had published (did I mention that my brother had his book published???) will be arriving on or before (hopefully) Friday. So I have plenty to read.

Since I've been home, I've been reading and computering. Didn't even turn the tv on until about half an hour ago, which is very unusual for me. I generally have it on all the time just for the background noise.

Just finished dinner (leftover Girl Scout tacos from last night) and am ready for the evening shows to start. Of course, that won't be until about 9:00 ...

Saturday Morning

Well, it's not quite 8:00 am as I start this post, and I've been up for 2 hours. Sure do wish I could sleep later on the weekends, but I've given up on that idea. Don't really have anything to say, which is normal, but figured I should make more of an effort to keep the blog updated. About the only notable thing that happened this week is the Publication of The Book, which has been mentioned. And I received an email from Amazon to let me know that The Book has shipped and should arrive at my place by Friday. Woohoo!

Didn't start the coffee until just a little while ago; and as soon as it finished brewing the cat climbed up onto my lap and got all purry-comfy. So now, in order to get my coffee, I have to dump the cat onto the floor. Guess I can wait a little longer for the caffeine... we'll see how it goes.

IT'S AVAILABLE AT AMAZON!!!

My brother's book .... The Forgotten Disturbed by T L Trevaskis

Is it a mark of insanity when your life turns into a faerie tale? Or is it a sign of awakening? And how do you tell the difference? Jessica Kendall thinks she is fleeing a nightmare, when she impulsively trades her promising but mundane career at a California university for the isolation of a tiny farming village in south-central Germany. She soon discovers, however, that it is not quite so easy to run away from a dream. There is something odd about her stern but grandmotherly new landlady, Frau Totmüller, and something even odder—and more wonderful—about the old woman’s handsome, successful son. Drawn to the enigmatic Hermann, despite her fears and misgivings, Jessica soon finds herself immersed in a world of magic, ancient artifacts, and unimaginable power that seems to have been waiting for her all her life.

Yummy Dinner

Not a very exciting day, but then what else is new. Met The Boy and The Ex for breakfast (the Ex was late, of course) and then watched a couple episodes of Moonlight. Gave the upstairs neighbor a cup of sugar (yeah, he came down and introduced himself; then, with an embarrassed expression said "I know it's a cliche but ... ").

This evening, The Boy and I met Sis and Rafe for dinner (her birthday celebration) at a restaurant called The Stinking Rose. I'd never been there before, although I know Sis and Rafe love it. The restaurant specializes in garlic; in fact, on their website they advertise as "seasoning the garlic with a little food". I had 20 clove garlic chicken, which was wonderful and came with garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert I had the most marvelous chocolate fudge mousse. It was so absolutely delicious!

Unfortunately tomorrow won't be as much fun ... I have about a dozen loads of laundry to do (which is odd, because I only own about 5 outfits). Wish I'd done the laundry earlier in the week.
