The One Where Jolene Perry Guest Blogs & We SHOULD Be Buds!

I love when authors come to visit! Please welcome Jolene Perry! So. When I'm on blogs that I don't visit often, I feel the need to skim them over and check them out, and the longer I was on Nicole's blog, the more I was like - WE MUST BE FRIENDS! WE HAVE LOTS AND LOTS IN COMMON.FIRST - PROJECT RUNWAY. I love this show. LOVE. This is the only bit of reality TV that I watch. I have not missed an episode. Ever.SECOND - There are a lot of Twilight posts on this blog. I will readily admit that I don't have TV and when I want it on just to have it on... I usually toss in a Twilight movie.THIRD - I Have a board on Pinterest labeled - STUFF THAT MADE ME SMILE.For real.SO, there.Anyway. Since I gave you three reasons why me and Nicole should be friends, I thought I'd also give you three reasons to read my book ;-)ONE -Writing a guy with one arm who is falling for a girl and is trying to figure out how to be with her, how to get closer to her, when he's used to having two arms... It was fun.TWO -Kate is a scattered mess who rarely does the right thing the first time - very much like me.THREE -The hair cutting scene, the scene where Kate helps him drive his stick shift car before he has to sell it, the scene where he kisses her in the back of said car, the night she sleeps over and where I wrote my fav sex-scene EVAH :-)So. Thank you SO much for letting me "invade" for a day!!!!~ Jolene

Asleep in My Spectacles

I tend to fall asleep in my eyeglasses.(you know this)I wake to a book pressed against my spine.The television playing a rerun of Friends.I turn over, slip my hand beneath my cheek and drift off again;only to repeat this a few more times until my brain registers I can "see" and shouldn't be able to at 3am.Clumsy fingers set them on the table, beside my half-drunk glass of water.In the morning I reach for my spectacles and realize...it was youall those times...it was you who made sure I could find them in the morning. glasses with swan

The Love of Thousands

The moment you start to criticize yourself, or think you or your life is less than someone else's think of this...and know you are the product of love and are loved. Photo: taken and edited by me. quote Linda Hogan.

We're smack dab in the middle of a two year remote tour. It's a small world, until the one you love is on the other side of it.It's been 1 year, 2 months, 11 days since his first flight took him towards his duty. 10 months, 4 days later he flew home for three short weeks of R & R.It's been 3 months, 3 days since I waved good-bye (again).It's been 94 days since I've seen his face (in person). (Thank God for Skype!)13 weeks since I kissed him.2256 hours since I've fallen asleep to his lullaby snores.135,360 minutes since I whispered I love you's in his ear.8,121,600 seconds I've taken it one moment at a time. At least 295 days remain in this tour (probably more.)Who's counting? xxoo Save

Snapshot Life

My life would be full. My photo album would be bursting at the seams with pictures cramming up every available space and filling out, falling to the ground, like a breadcrumb trail where ever I went. The photos symbolic of love. The love I feel, have shared, and have felt from others.
