People compete in various ways. You know how you sometimes have fun arguing about Trivial Pursuit stuff, challenging your pals or your siblings? For the more active people, there's even arm-wrestling.
I've seen some odd contests in my time. Speed-shingling. Best striped tan. Worst speller. Most Mountain Dew Drinker-of-the-day. We roofers lead such exciting lives.
RB and I can add to that list. Yesterday, the results of his annual blood tests came in. I whipped out mine from earlier this year. We sat across each other at lunch and compared numbers (the lower, in most categories, the better, of course). He was so sure he was going to win, because the doctor had been amazed at his cholesterol (good and bad) numbers. I beat him fair and square at everything except blood count. Bwahahaha. Loser gets to buy lunch.
For the rest of the day, I made him yell out to everyone that I had amazing glucose and potassium. Like I said, we roofers lead such exciting lives.

Are you being spammed by Santa and St. Nick, like I am? Is it a sin to block Santa and St. Nick from ever emailing you again? I feel guilty doing it....

I'm half-done with edits. Not too bad, really. The copy editor caught a very good mistake with time change, one that was my mistake due to being stuck in the Eastern Time zone in my head. Funny thing is, none of my reader friends who live in different time zones noticed the mistake either. Yay for smart copy editors!

Okay, so I've a few answers from you about what you want for Christmas. Hot Navy SEAL. A trip back here to Florida. A trip to the Bahamas.
Any more? How about something do-able, like a hot calendar (don't worry, not Men From Mortuaries)? Or, a hard cover copy of Into Danger? Or a Navy SEAL t-shirt? Or a gift card from Amazon/ BN.com? Or a writer's clock (it's cute)? Or lunch with Jenn in NYC if you live there (hahaha)?
For myself, I'm thinking of getting me another mutant pom. Must be creamy white, of course. I'm THINKING, I said. Lilah is almost three years old. I think she needs a boyfriend.

Halfway done with edits. See I knew the spirit would return with a little pick me up. Re-editing must be so hard to do that, since we are are own worst critics.
Boy that trip to a warmer climate sure is sounding good, since I am in the cold & blustery midwest. But I guess I would settle for a HOT Navy seal to warm up those cold nights too.

I thought the word 'pom' was p-o-r-n - I thought the 'm' was 2 letters 'r' and 'n' appearing close together! LOL! I was wondering what the heck 'mutant porn' was! And what 'white' ones looked like - Caucasian porn as opposed to black or Asian?
I need to stop fiddling with my font sizes - it screws up the text sometimes.
Vanityball,
What you sent definitely warmed me up! ;-) Thanks. I don't mind edits but it can be confusing if there are a lot of markings.
Laur,
I didn't get any email from you! Cyber monster?
Stacey,
When I get my arc/galley, I'll put you into my contest. ;-) And I'll email you when I visit NYC next. I buy lunch; you buy the drink.
Elaine,
Mutant Porn? Eeek. Only you!
Stacey, watch out, I've seen Jenna drink, LOL. I would like a hardcover of Into Danger for Xmas. I've been a very very good girl this year (fingers crossed behind her back).
You're getting another pom, you crazy woman you!
