THE WEEKEND (TO INCLUDE MY NEW BOOK TRAILER FOR SIERRA!)

The weekend started out good. My hubby and I went to a cute little 'hole in the wall' local restaurant on Friday night with another couple. The food was 'home cookin' good.' My favorite thing was that while you are waiting for your dinner, they serve cake! Yep, they serve dessert first! What a concept! My kind of place! They also had this sign hanging up on their wall--and I had to take a picture of it. 

If you have trouble reading it, it says, "Remember Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts! Did you know that? I didn't! But I love it!

We planned on Saturday being a relaxing day. It started out great. Then a pipe decided to burst in our bedroom wall! We could literally hear the water rushing out. I grabbed towels and quickly began to mop up the water that was slowly sneaking into the bathroom from under the baseboards while my hubby ran to turn off the main water valve outside. Talk about a moment of panic!

Yikes! What a mess! All I can say is, thank goodness we were home when it happened! Otherwise we would've come home to a flood! As it turned out, my hubby heard it happen and we had the water off within five minutes, maybe less. (it seemed like forever!)

In between cleaning up the mess, I sat at my computer working on my very first book trailer for SIERRA. I haven't posted it anywhere else as of yet, so you're the first to view it! Enjoy! Here it is:

Let me know what you think of it!

How was your weekend? What did you do?

THE WEEKEND

Here's what I spent my weekend doing!

It's a t-shirt quilt for my daughter.

Over the years, we've been saving all of my children's memory-filled t-shirts. I always told my children I'd make them t-shirt quilts in my old age. 

I meant when I was 80. 

Evidently they think that's now.

They've let me know how excited they are to get their t-shirt quilts. 

One down. Three more to go. 

If I can survive this, I can survive anything. 

BTW, did I mention that I'm 'sewing challenged?'

All things considered I think it turned out amazing. Especially since I don't really know what I'm doing!

How was your weekend? What did you do?

The Weekend

I had a fun weekend with the fam! No writing, no editing, no blogging, no tweeting, etc. Took a much needed break! In our family, we CAN'T WAIT for the December release of Le Mis, the movie adaptation of the musical. In preparation, we went and saw the local theater's production of Le Mis, just to get us even more fired up over the movie! It was AMAZING! They did a tremendous job!

When writing, if you can capture the emotion contained in Le Mis, you have succeeded! It's a beautiful story and completely inspiring. If you haven't already, watch the movie trailer. Anne Hathaway does an amazing job! Enjoy!
