Happy New Year!

May 2008 bring many wonderful things your way!

My usual reminder--if you plan to ring in the New Year, please remember to BE SAFE!

Internet Problems

My Internet connection has been giving me fits over the last week. Problems connecting, when I could connect, it was slooooooooow going, and it would randomly and suddenly shut-down. It was very frustrating. But thankfully, hopefully, it’s now fixed. It’s a good thing too, because I was about to begin suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

Happy Holidays!

What I’m Reading

I went digging in my HUGE to-be-read stack for a book with a holiday theme, and here’s what I found...

Secret Santa (Harlequin Blaze, December 2006)
with stories by Janelle Denison, Isabel Sharpe, and Jennifer LaBrecque

Who We'd Like To Meet Under The Mistletoe

So, who would my December contest entrants like to meet under the mistletoe?

Many opted for someone that they personally know...a sexy co-worker, a guy who lives down the street, etc.

A couple of people mentioned characters from a book, such as Caine from Sarah McCarty's Caine's Reckoning (a book I have yet to read, but it's definitely on my to-buy list!).

Of the celebrities mentioned, there were a few musicians:

Jon Bon Jovi

Rod Stewart

Willy Braun (from Reckless Kelly)

Tim McGraw


And there were several actors:

David Boreanaz

Gerard Butler

Johnny Depp

David James Elliot

Colin Farrell

Andy Garcia

Ryan Gosling

Hugh Jackman

Jude Law

Matthew McConaughey

Viggo Mortensen

Robert De Niro

Alex O'Loughlin

Will Smith


The name that was mentioned the most often...Orlando Bloom

The Winner Is...

A huge thanks to all who entered my December contest. I enjoyed hearing who others would like to meet under the mistletoe :) If you’re wondering which names were mentioned, then come back tomorrow and find out!

I had my oldest son draw a name out of the hat, and the winner of the 2008 Studs ‘N Spurs wall calendar is...Martha L. from Mississippi. Congrats, Martha! Enjoy!

December Contest (expires 12/20/07)

The winner of my December contest will receive a 2008 Studs 'N Spurs wall calendar (photo below).

To be entered, just send me an email and tell me who you’d like to meet under the mistletoe this year. It can be anyone but your spouse/significant other (because this is about a fantasy kiss :). Can't narrow it down to just one person? Okay, I'll let you choose two if you must.

Click HERE to visit my website for all the details of the contest. The last date for entry is December 20, 2007.




Who would I like to meet under the mistletoe? Kyle Schmid, the actor who stars in the Lifetime series, Blood Ties.



But on second thought...I'm feeling a little like a pervert now, since he’s only 23 and therefore young enough to be my son.

So, someone more age appropriate would be Roarke from J.D. Robb’s In Death series. He's just yummy!
