Dieting, Writing, and Dogs

Man, I started a new diet Sunday -- I can't complain, I've lost 5 lbs., but man, I'm having challenges with it. You don't think about all the carbs you eat when you're not counting all the carbs you eat, you know? ;-)

Started a new novel last week, which is good and bad, I guess. Good because it's writing itself, is hot and angsty and I'm having a ball. Bad because I have about 12420394723059128374 projects that Markus and Sebastian rolled over like Sherman tanks. 

Still, so not complaining. :D

My dogs are currently playing birdie bowling. This game involves sitting on the back porch until about ten thousand doves settle at the bird bath/feeders. Then there is a frenzy of running and barking and flapping loose skin (being a basset hound mom is CLASSY, I tell you). I can see them play the game all morning from my desk. It's pretty damned funny.

*grins*

Okay, I just interrupted a hot sex scene. Better let them fuss a little. ;-)

Meme: Lucky Seven

Sommer Marsden is sharing the meme pain, and I'm a good blogger, so I'm being good. 
Good, damn it. :D
Here are the rules:
The ‘rules’ are: Go to page 7 or 77 of your latest work. Read down to the seventh line and then post online the next seven lines or sentences. Then head off and tag seven more writers.

And here are 7 lines from page 7 of my current obsession, tentatively titled Fighting Addiction:



“Start with the stadium rocker?”

“Uh-huh. I was thinking something about fireworks and flames?” Seb plopped down beside him, pulled out the ancient six-string.

“Old flames, maybe. America loves an old love story come back to life.” Markus popped his acoustic out of the case.


*grins*
Love these boys. :D :D :D
Now to punish the wicked! I tag:

Sean Michael, Katherine Halle, Jodi Payne, Elizabeth Brooks, TA Chase, M. Durango, and JM Cartwright

Happy June, y'all!

Happy June, y'all.

*grins*

Spent the whole weekend moving furniture and reorganizing the office and cleaning the garage. Let me tell you, I am so blasted sore... ;-)

The office looks nice, though. We (being Julia and me) went from two little desks to one big old vintage table. It's a little different, but nice. Instead of being back to back, we're facing each other. 

The only problem with the office move is that there is a huge blank spot where my eyes land. I foresee art in my immediate future.

Well, actually I see taking Julia to Dallas later this week to see Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw at the Brothers of the Sun concert for her birthday, but, you know...

Art might happen. 

;-)
