Today's thoughts--a mish, mash mess...

THE MOTHER'S CURSE:
I don't deserve it, the mother's curse. My mother didn't curse me, my MIL cursed my husband, "I hope you get one just like you..." It's not fair I wasn't expecting this--LOL. It's really not that bad, our 3 year old has his fathers temperament and my sarcasm, at times it's a deadly combination.

HE ATE LIKE A HORSE:
My little guy had an upset stomach Friday night, went to bed very late and yesterday he was still a little off, not real hungry. Well, today he woke with a huge appetite. Before we went to church he had an apple. After Mass he had the whites of a fried egg, 3 slices of bacon, 2 turkey breakfast sausages and a waffle. I swear his right leg must be hollow, where the heck did he put it. It's 9:40 in the morning and now he's asking for Goldfish.

CHECK OUT THIS BLOG:
Squawk Radio, it's a riot. Several authors (I read all of them, which is great) including, Connie Brockway, Christina Dodd and Eloisa James. These ladies are a riot. They're still getting things situated, but it's worth a read.

CLOSE TO YOU:
I'm reading Christina Dodd's Close to You. I'm enjoying it much more than the last one in the series, I'm about half way through it and it's great.

BOOK HOPPING:
I discovered a couple of other bloggers did the book hopping thing. Check out Blog Happy and Romance Novel Central.

VIRGIN vs EXPERIENCED HEROINES:
If you're at all familiar with the romance reading blogging world, there are huge "discussions" going on regarding the sexual experience of heroines. I'm not grasping this--shouldn't the heroines experience fit the story line, and not some "romance writing rule"? Let the authors write what they want.

Have a great day, happy reading.

Anne--I don't think experienced heroines are really problematic, as long as it fits the story line. And, some authors can work in an experienced heroine really well.

DH (Anon)--your welcome, they're all some of my favorite authors, and I think I'm going to enjoy their blog.
