Current Facebook Status: NCIS BABY! Currently Playing in the Background: Last week’s Bones Very special thanks goes out to Angela! My website is officially up and running!! Check it out at www.carolmoncado.com – I LOVE it!
Current Facebook Status: heard the three things you don’t want to hear at 5am: the baby gate being opened, whiny 3 year old and ‘Mom, where are you? My s’eepin’ for weeeeeeeeeeeks’. So much for that last half hour of shut eye :p. Currently Playing in the Background: NCIS Season 7, Disk 5, Episode 1, Double Identity It’s Flash Fiction Friday! Today’s prompt, once again, is the first sentence [or two sentences in this case]. Read more
I have a new theme song. Okay – I have a theme song. I don’t think I’ve ever had one before. I’ve heard the song a number of times. Abbie sings it in the car with me sometimes. That’s What Faith Can Do by Kutless. For some reason, today the lyrics really struck me. These lyrics in particular: It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard Impossible is not a word It’s just a reason For someone Read more
Current Facebook Status: made it to S7 of NCIS! Watching Ep 1. Favorite quote so far – Gibbs: Some idiot smuggled a koala on a submarine ;). Really wishing the DVDs had a ‘play all’ option though :p. Would much rather just watch but alas, laundry and schoolwork are calling her name. Currently Playing in the Background: whiny 3 year old. NCIS S7 Ep 1 is paused. Very Special Thanks go to Candace Calvert who Read more
Current Facebook Status: woke up thinking it was Saturday. She nearly cried when she realized it wasn’t. Not really, but was very disappointed. 😉 Plus posted this pic today: Currently playing in the background: NCIS, season 6, next to last ep [whatever number that is] and my DVD is skipping… There it was. Nathan Bransford’s 1000th blog post. He was offering a critique of the query letter and first five pages of the manuscript for Read more
Current Facebook status: TGIM? I’m trying to be thankful God, I really am, but I’d much rather still be sleeping… 😉 I’m so not liking this 8am class thing [though I suppose it is much better than the 7am class thing a number of years ago – however, then I lived less than 10 minutes from campus…]. Alarm at 530 should be illegal. And now, about six hours after posting that status, I still wish Read more
After a kinda crummy morning, I had a good time chatting with Jan and doing our Flash Fiction Friday. This one needs a couple of caveats, but I’ll post them at the end. Jan will be posting hers on her blog shortly. So we set the timer for ten minutes and away we went! The first sentence was the prompt. The diver entered the hull of the ship through the gaping hole that sank her. Read more
Let’s hope there’s no Volume 2 of this edition =D. I had hoped to finish rereading Disaster Status last night but didn’t and it’s unlikely I’ll be able to today so instead of waiting on it, I’ll pull another review out of the archives and post it. I plan on Disaster Status next week :). Of course, I have about 16 books still sitting on the table next to me to either be reviewed or Read more
This week’s been a bit crazy so far and I really want to review Candace Calvert’s Disaster Status after reviewing her Critical Care last week. I did read the Kindle version last week but have the hard copy in my possession now. Sorry, eReader enthusiasts… It’s just not the same. I haven’t finished it again yet and today promises to be just as crazy [cleaning, doc appointment, company – hence the cleaning, etc.] so it’s Read more
So it’s not overly creative and it’s based mainly on whether or not I would actually buy the particular book in question [gotta love libraries!] but since tomorrow is ‘What I Read Wednesday’, here’s how I’m using a 10 star rating :). I reserve the right to change this at any time – because, hey, it’s my blog and therefore my prerogative ;). 10. This one goes to the top of the Amazon wish list, to Read more
