The Spiderman Iguana---Dash---

September 5, 2010
OMG I have a notsofunny but funny story to tell you!!


Earlier this morning my son's Iguana escaped his cage and managed to get out on the balcony...Well, I had no idea we had an escaped Iguana so I bounce out there and see my son standing like he was going to throw a football or something and I asked him what the hell he was doing and he said in a quiet panicked voice: "Dash is right there." Well I looked "right there" and OMG!!! That crazy lizard, Dash was on the edge of the balcony...as in..the edge with no where to go but down?

NO!! DON'T DO IT...well, really? What is one to do in a situation like that? If you go closer to the lizard you know it'll run and since he had NO where to go but down we were afraid to move...Well, in the meantime my hubby was downstairs talking to neighbors and my son is trying to holler at him for help. HELLO? We live on the 2nd floor...Frank is NOT Spiderman and guess what Dash did?

RIGHT!! the dumb lizard DOVE off the balcony!!! O.M.G. My son screamed, I screamed and Frank was below in shock. Well, the damn lizard hit the ground RUNNING!! (i think he's spiderman iguana) Okay, side note: I manage an apartment complex in downtown Denver, and it's subsidized housing.

My son and I tear through the house on our way downstairs like mini whirlwinds trying to decide should we take the stairs or just jump? (we took the stairs 2 at a time)

Well all the people in the courtyard see the green lizard running and what do they do? They all scream and run AWAY...the lizard is like small...the people are like big...hm...so, the lizard, Dash gets scared and runs toward the damn street!! Well, we live downtown, it's busy on the streets and he decides that's his best route. (dummy) and hot on his ass is my husband, my son, and then me with my hair wrapped in a towel (remember i just got out of the shower) and Dash ends up IN the engine of a parked car...

Well, it just so happens that this certain parked car belongs to a guy who is.......................buying CRACK from this other guy...and these guys see all of us running towards them and they freak out thinking we are:

DEA!!! The seller freaks out and runs, the buyer freezes in place and one of the neighbors here , he's this really big black guy, he tells the buyer, OPEN YOUR HOOD!! The ...........little .................dinosaur is in there!!!

Well the buyer is shaking like a mad man, and he says: Man, what the hell man? Well, our tenant says: If you do NOT open that hood, boy, I'm going to choke your ass! ....the boy opened the hood and I swear he looked like he was going to pass smooth out...my son reaches in through the top of the engine, my hubby is under the car poking the damn "little dinosaur" in the head to make him back up and guess where I was???

YES..in the middle of the street and stopping traffic...All for a little dinosaur......

needless to say: said Dash the Spiderman Lizard is going to a new home....My son said: I can NOT take the stress. LMAO!!!!!
 

Define Friendship

August 31, 2010
Friendship is defined a personal relationship shared between each friend for the welfare of one another, in other words, it is the relationship of trust, faith and concern for each others feelings. It is a relationship of mutual caring and intimacy among one another."

So, knowing just the smallest definition of what that one word means, in laymen terms, what does it mean to you? Really think about it and then take a look around you. Look at the people you work with, at your neighbors, at scho...

Can Anyone Please Add Another?

June 25, 2010
24 Hours to a day please? I'm asking nicely. Ever since moving back to Denver I have become so unbelievably busy it's silly. I went from living in Tucson and being able to write almost all the time to living in downtown Denver and begging for an hour to write any of the time. Oh, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying. I mean, in Tucson I didn't work outside of my home so I had loads of time to do what I love. I was working on a huge novel, well, I guess it'd be a series actually. A tota...

Rver of Tears Update

May 23, 2010
 Ever since I published River of Tears last August, I've been wanting to pull it and revise it. If you've read my past blogs about my editing issues with it, you'll understand what happened and why and all that fun stuff.

I've been elated with the reviews the story is getting, and I'm so very pleased with how it's being reviewed among the readers all over. However, because of the known issues I had with editing and my unease with pushing the book as it deserves to be pushed and marketed, I'm ...

The story behind Tony & Ryan

May 20, 2010
Tony & Ryan are two characters from a series I've been working on for more years than I care to say. For the longest time I had a heck of a time connecting with Ryan, until I explored his hidden side. He's 1 of 4 brothers. He's an orphan. He's an undercover agent on the run.  
 
I tried for years to get inside his head for the series. He played hide and seek with me for a long time to the point that I almost took him out of the story all together. Then Jeff challenged me to delve into ...

Just wanted to share with all

February 23, 2010

This post came as a surprise to me from Amy J today and I wanted to share this with you. Her words about my book actually brought tears to my eyes. I had no idea she was going to post this. 
 
 

Today I wanted to start a discussion and get some thoughts from other readers.  When you are cruising around your book blogs, are you more likely to buy books from authors you have heard about, or do you like to find books by authors that you have never heard of before? 

For me, I like to find new a...

A Great Start to a New Year

February 5, 2010

 

When the “ball” dropped bringing in the New Year I prayed it would be a better year for all of us. I remember where I was when I thought this. I was laying in bed, propped up with three comfy pillows with my covers snuggling around me. I had the T.V. on and my ever loving pen and notebook on my writing tray sitting on top of me. I like to bring the new year in writing. It’s just something I do.  

Well, I was there, it was midnight, and my phone started going off the wall, beeping an...

Happy New Year!!!

January 4, 2010

We made it to see another decade. 2010.

Friends and Family 

When I was a senior in high school the world was supposed to end or so I was told when I was in 8th grade. Imagine carrying that kind of fear inside you for four long years. I mean I just started discovering boys and I was hearing that I’d only have four years left to really discover them. Well, alright then. Discover them I would! I looked forward to entering high school. Lots and lots of new boys from other neighborhoods...

INDI AUTHORS and BOOK REVIEWS

November 27, 2009

I wanted to take some time and talk about INDI authors, (Independent) and Book Reviews, and why some people are so afraid to pick a book up that's been self-published. Then question why some book reviewers are so afraid to review self-published books?  

Granted, I've only been in this world a short time, since this past August if you want to get technical and I have seen and read so much on this very topic that I can recite it in my sleep. Before I considered myself a writer, I was a...

A Life's Journey with River of Tears

November 16, 2009

I truly believe the saying that you are your own worst critic.  

If you've been reading my blogs in order you'll know that the last paragraph I wrote from the prior blog titled: A Life's Journey…River of Tears. You'll know it said:

My story was as good as I could get it. I was ready to share it for real this time. I was proud of it and I wanted people to read this story. I had a smile that warmed my heart. I did the best I could do. It was time to do something about it. 

And I did…...
