Romantic Times

Ok. I'm trying to be cool here.
*biting fingernails*

I didn't go to the Romantic Times Convention. Hope those of you that did HAD FUN!
But today was the day they announced the winners of the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award. And I haven't heard ANYTHING!!!
ACK!

So. Um.
You hear anything...drop me a line.
Ok?
Thanks!

Are you kidding me???

Yesterday, work was fine. I was an overachiever, actually. Did my job plus several other extras.
Fine and dandy.

When I arrived at work this morning, the computer network was down. That, my friends, was the beginning of the end.
Of my sanity.

We were also short a worker. So the two people in my department (my boss and I) were it. Me=highly displeased.
And she had two meetings today.
One in the morning. One this afternoon.
Me=slightly homicidal.

Boss called in a sub (Thank the Lord!!!). And that lightened the load a bit. But it simply seemed to be one hideous thing after another this morning.
K and I looked at each other and were like...hmmm...time to shut the doors and find a cocktail with our name on it.
The good news?
That'll happen after work today.
A bunch of us are going to go to a local pub and celebrate a couple of birthdays and my Romantic Times nomination. (I like to squeeze that in whenever I can. The cocktail AND the mention of my nomination. *grins*)

So. I'm biding my time. Watching the clock. And waiting to start my weekend.
Because, dear Lord, it HAS to get better.

Wonders never cease

Wow.
My second blog post in as many days.
*checking my head for a fever*

There was a bit of a discussion today at work this morning about the honor I received from Romantic Times Magazine.
Several co-workers would like to see if there's possibly a way to fundraise or seek funds so that I can go to Pittsburgh.
I'm not even contemplating it. It's one of those...if it happens...I'll probably pass out.
So, we'll see.
*concentrating on NOT hyperventilating*

If, however, I cannot go, I think I'm going to ask a fellow Oklahoma author to read a small thank-you note if I win. (Yeah. A girl can dream. *grins*)

Today's my cousin's 21st birthday. Go visit him. He's bringing sexy back. lmao
What a nut.

The chickens are doing well. We had a nightful of homework last night. OMG. My reluctant education continues. And there are term papers in my baby chicken's future. Yes! PAPERS as in plural.
Oh Lord.

Tonight is Biggest Loser and SVU. Good night of television. Making some chicken with a veggie.
Now. If I can just make it until 5:30 pm.

The BESTEST news!!!

Hello all!

I'm going to be ending 2007 on a lovely note. Seems that The Portrait is nominated for a Romantic Times 2007 Reviewers' Choice Award!!!
OMG!!! *squee*

From the website:
2007 was another great year for readers. So many fabulous books were published! We reviewed more than 250 books in each issue of RT BOOKreviews -- more than 3,000 titles for the entire year. Our ace reviewers and editors have scoured 12 months' worth of reviews to compile the best of the best for the annual Romantic Times BOOKreviews Career Achievement and Reviewers' Choice Awards. For the Reviewers' Choice nominees, our star team selected only those novels that deeply resonated with them.

********************************************************************************
Out of over 3000 titles...they picked one of mine.
*GRINS*
Yeah.
That does it for me.
