Read the info, make a difference... check this out for more.

If you haven't checked out the Blog Bash yet, then you should.

 It's fun, and informative, and you never know who's going to show up.

So we all want him, the sensitive male, or at least we don't want the insensitive one...

Okay, I got to bed at 1:40 am the morning/night before. I think my cat knew I was going b/c she woke me up repeatedly, and because I was antsy I had problems getting back to sleep but I tried until I finally gave up and rolled out of bed at 5 am.

This is me with Mr Romance contestant Luke Walsh. As cute as he in in this pic, it doesn't do him justice. He's got a great, quick smile that is just a little bit naughty and lights up his whole face.

He's smart and also a very nice guy. He listens when you speak and you can tell he's actually interested.

This is me and Chris Winters, Mr Romance 2008.

Chris is a very nice guy, which I mentioned in the post above. Actually most of the Mr Romance contestants I met (and yes, I did meet them all although I don't have pictures with each.)

OMG, I had the most amazing adventures at RT.

First, I talked to hundreds of people, introducing myself and the challenge, gathering inspiration from them for upcoming threads and just having a blast in general. I have so many stories, that I'll be sharing as soon as I can type it all up and match names to faces.

This face is one you'll know...

Join me and Jodi Lynn Copeland for her Q&A beginning on the 22nd.

Gena Showalter asks the question: Can a savvy modern woman find happiness with the most tempting man she's ever known? Is there such a thing as a totally monogamous male?

Finally, after months of waiting, there will be a new episode of Supernatural airing on the CW, Thursday night at 9 est.

Now that's not to say I don't enjoy watching the earlier episodes again, and again, but I've seriously needed my fix.
