Odds and Ends

Hey, all. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was a lot of fun. We went to my oldest brother's house, where we visited with family, played Uno and put together a puzzle with the Trips, and as usual ate waaaaaay too much. I felt kind of sick by the time we came home, but boy was it yummy! As you can see by this pic of Hailey with her new baby sister, that tryptophan thing in turkey is true--it really does make you sleepy! Okay, Evie actually had breast milk, but work with me here.

Here's another pic of the triplets goofin' with their daddy

The soulmate's been traveling for work a lot this fall and it looks as though it's going to continue well into the winter. He got home Tuesday afternoon and is leaving again Monday morning, so he and I are taking off for our place in the mountains this morning to have a little catch-up alone time. All of which is a long way of telling you that I'm not ignoring your posts this weekend--I'm gone, gone, ga-wan. :) Poor guy--the traveling gets old, but given the economic climate, we probably shouldn't whine.

Which brings me to: (drumroll please)

DadadadadadaDa!

I, too, am employed for three more books with HQN. YAY!
My agent and I just agreed to a contract on Tuesday. This is a happy event, because I would have hated leaving Ava's story in the Sisterhood Trilogy hanging.

And on a completely different track, Bullwinkle, Heidi Betts' blog: WIPs and Chains received an I Love Your Blog award and was asked to pass it along to other blogs she loved and dadadadadadadaDA! (I know, I know, somebody's gonna take my drum away and probably bonk me over the head with it) she awarded one to us!!

It's official. You gotta love us. Well, okay, you actually don't. But Heidi does! And she sent us the award to prove it. Pretty cool, huh?

And with that, my pretties, I bid you a groovy weekend. I'll see you all in RunningWithQuillsville next week, when I return bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
