I’m so close to the end of FAR TO GO I can taste it. So, since I’m stuck at my keyboard typing madly away to catch up on my NaNo word count (gah! I’m so far behind it’s not even funny), here’s something for you to occupy yourself with. Click on the link below. It’s a bit addictive, so be forewarned.

Turkey Shoot

Yes, I’d prefer you did the smart thing and backed Obama, but really, I just want you to get out there and vote. Period.

Here’s some Election ‘08 fun to get you in the spirit

Moira Reid posted this on her blog, so I’m following suit:

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Nearest book - Ceremony in Death by J.D. Robb (I heart Roarke like you can’t believe.)

Fifth sentence - "followed orders, you followed procedure. You were not at"

Now do the same, and post it on your blog!

By the time I blog next, it’ll be NaNoWriMo time!!! YAY!!

I haven’t laughed as hard in a long time as I did watching this. Very cute guys! Thanks to Smart Bitches for posting it first.

I haven’t updated in a while and am feeling decidedly lazy. Here’s a fun little video in lieu of something meaningful from me. Enjoy!

Some of my fellow CP authors and I are having a Cocktail Party and we want you to join us. It’ll be an evening of book discussion, girl talk (wouldn’t you boys just love to know what we really think?) and we’ll be handing out prizes too!

So bring your favorite cocktail recipe (I’m partial to anything fruity) and share it with us to be eligible to win a book.

Hunky Cabana boys will be serving drinks all night.

Darn Kris Eton. Anyway, I’m supposed to write seven random things about myself and then tag five other people. Here goes:

1. I’m cheap as hell. I won’t spend more than $20 for a pair of pants. (I can usually get add a shirt to the mix and still stay under $20.)

2. Having made it almost thirty-four years without seeing a dead person (never even attended a funeral), I’ve had three patients die in the last three weeks. (And no, I didn’t kill them. Oncology unit. Nuff said.)

3. I hate my toes.

4. My mouth is itching right now because I just ate some raw carrots in my salad - which I’m allergic to.

5. Before I became published, I used to read four to five books a week. Now I’m reading one book a month. Sometimes.

6. I collect shot glasses from states I’ve visited.

7. Speaking of visiting, I hate to travel, but often do it for work.

There. Happy?

I’m tagging: Deanna Lee, Ava Rose Johnson, Celia Kyle, Ericka Scott and P. Andrews.
