...because I'm the worse blogger ever!

Sorry, peeps! I've been visiting blogs and Twittering, though. So most of you know I'm around. :-D My mom's headed to my house for a visit, so I'll be missing again.



Let's see, what have I been reading? I am halfway through Blue Diabolo (courtesy of the fabulous Bree - half of Moira Rogers, for those who don't know...Donna is the other half and also fab) by the fabulous Ann Aguirre - very, very good. I had to put it aside temporarily because I got an advance copy of a most coveted book. Heh. Before that I tried to read Christine Feehan's most recent Drake Sisters book but I had to put it down - too dark for my mood. I might try it again later...and skim my way through the dark parts. Disappointed. I enjoyed Julia Quinn's newest - a fun, quick read. And I'm enjoying Alyssa Day's Atlantis series.

In other news, this is the first season I have watched So You Think You Can Dance and I am loving it! Why wasn't I watching before? Also, I can't wait for the Torchwood mini-series to start on BBC America. I loves me some Captain Jack! Design Star starts back up on HGTV tomorrow night and that should be fun. Otherwise, TV is pretty dead right now.

Let's see...oh, I know! For those of you still not on Twitter (*coughAMEScough*), let me tempt you with stories of Twitter contests and giveaways. In the last few months, I've snagged at least 3 or 4 books. And two were advance copies (very advance)! Plus we're fun! We're friendly! You'll see lots of familiar faces around. Don't you wanna come play, peeps? Of course you do! :-D

In other news, if you haven't heard Holly's news go here and read all about it. :o) RWA coverage abounds - you can read all about it at Kristie's blog, the Smart Bitches site, over at Katiebabs' blog and a dozen other places (including all over Twitter). Next year I am going!

I haven't been to see the newest Harry Potter movie but I'm going soon. I did see UP and Star Trek - both were excellent! I'm looking forward to The Ugly Truth, too. ;-)

Well, that's it for now. I keep promising myself I will do better with posting but I am full of fail. Still, I persevere. :-p

Over on Twitter, the fabulous Ann Aguirre posted a link to the:
Lazy Bloggers Post Generator. Such fun! Here's how my post came out:

Jeepers! I just climbed out from under my rock and realised I have not updated this since you last visited... You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. Seriously!.

I am distracted with an awfully big adventure, sleeping, just generally being an embarrassment to the locals, my day is passing in a blur from the first cockadoodledoo from the rooster to midnight. I am putting money aside so I can run away. maybe tomorrow.

I won't promise anything to you but I will make more of an effort to blog more often until the nice men in the white coats come back. No, really! I mean it!



LOLOLOLOL And it's all mostly true! I'm the worst blogger ever so maybe this will help me.

You know I wouldn't forget it's Friday! Are you ready for this week's Friday Fun Fact, peeps? I know you are!

This week's topic: the Christmas tree! Why? Because my mother and I put up the parental tree today, of course. I iz tired. I'll take a pic and post it later, maybe. If I forget, here is a link to one in TwitPic.






On with the facts:


> Christmas trees have been sold commercially in the United States since about 1850.

> The best selling trees are Scotch pine, Douglas fir, Noble fir, Fraser fir, Virginia pine, balsam fir and white pine.

> The first decorated Christmas tree was in Riga, Latvia in 1510.

> Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska.

> In 2002, 21% of United States households had a real tree, 48% had an artificial tree and 32% had no tree.




Tomorrow we shop! Of course, there may not be anything left.

You know, peeps, I don't often post links over to teh Qte - even though I love it so. However, this post just makes me giggle so much. So go and check it out, why don't you?

Also, I've been tweaking the template. Something made it go wonky so I had to give it a tune-up. I added in a link (over there on your left...no, your other left) to my Twitter page. sarcasm If you're curious about the glory and excitement that makes up my everyday life, trek on over. You'll be fascinated. Honest. /sarcasm
