magick musings…

Time to get back to work. This last week I find myself moving in fast forward to get everything done, but feel pretty good about it. Working more at my regular job but I know things will slow down soon so I am making the most out of it now. College tuition makes a great motivator.

Yesterday I worked some on my lunch break on my paranormal series. I would love to be able to do like Sherrilyn Kenyon does and have the whole series mapped out, but right now only have the first one plotted out and the second roughly planned. My children’s inspirational series is giving me a little trouble now as I cannot decide exactly what age group to target. I am leaning toward the 8 – 12 year olds now so need to do a little more research to make my decision.

Our RWA chapter’s annual manuscript contest is picking up speed with the January 15th deadline right around the corner. And yes, as Brenda has reminded me, that is a holiday, but we will accept anything within a reasonable time frame. It is a great contest and last year, our winner got a publishing contract out of it. Check it out and see the great line up with have for final judges. Who knows, there may be another publishing contract within someone’s sights again this year!

Off to work!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality – cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You’d like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You’re feeling self centered.

You Are a Bright Christmas Tree

For you, the holidays are all about fun and seasonal favorites. You are into all things Christmas, even if they’re a little tacky.

Christmas Eve already! The presents are wrapped, half the cookies are baked, and I am slowly getting into the spirit! I have promised myself that today I will concentrate on it being Christmas Eve and just enjoy the day to the fullest. I wish that blessing upon all of you also.

What Color is Your Soul? {8 results + artsitic pics}
brought to you by Quizilla

Your Soul is Purple – Artist, dreamer, creative. You are lost in your thoughts, and have a dislike of reality (probably finding it boring). You have to remember that every idea is based off the reality you know. Magic is everywhere, you just have to see it. Thinking, and creating things from your mind, are your top priorities (not to mention what your best at). Keep at it, a little imagination can take you far.

Tagged by Mik to tell all – well – actually only five – weird random things about me. Here ya go:

1. Rod Stewart literally ran into me and almost knocked me into the water on the San Antonio Riverwalk. The sad thing is that I didn’t know it was him until a little while later. I saw him doing a promo in front of a camera and had to ask someone in the crowd watching.
2. My favorite dish is a macaroni and sausage recipe I found years ago. Can practically eat the WHOLE thing!
3. I was told years ago that I would be blessed by always having men in my life. A husband and four sons and two grandsons later…
4. I would love to be on ‘Survivor’ only to lose weight.
5. I really, truly, deeply care for my friends and family and want all their dreams to come true. Even if mine never do.

Today was my last day of work for a week and it turned out to be really a great day. I was not happy about having to drive to an office the furthest in our system, but the traffic was light, the day turned out beautiful, and they sent me on two errands around lunchtime that turned out to be exactly where I needed to go to buy two of the last gifts I needed to buy!

And they fed me lunch when I got back! :banana: A good day!

Christmas is only two days away! Hope all of you have your shopping done and can sit back and relax and enjoy the season!

Your Christmas Song Is

Baby, It’s Cold Outside I simply must go – Baby, it’s cold outside The answer is no – Ooh baby, it’s cold outside This welcome has been – I’m lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm — Look out the window at that storm Christmas is nice and all… But being snowed in is icing on the cake

Being snowed in would be so nice! But here in Texas we are expecting 70 degrees on Christmas!

Bah, Humbug!
