Nancy's Warren

I'm glad it's still here. I looked for it yeasterday and couldn't find it. Life is going well. I bought too many presents for Christmas. My little girl wanted to play with each gift before she opended another. So I spend it out through the day. She even opened a few the day after Christmas. I got to spend my vacation with three of my brothers and thier family. My youngest brother has 2young children  and brother Seth wife had a suprise baby at 41 making six kids. And my oldest brother had his seven kids plus his three grand kids. Making it a very full house with lots of older kids and lots of little little kids running around. I bought myself one of the digtal picture frames.

 All in all a fantastic time.

 :) Tiana

I was a little worried the Warren didn't make the transition but I followed the trail of bunny, erm, fluffy tails and found y'all!  Hopefully the queen bunny herself will find her way.

Latesha, I hope you still find time to drop in!

Tiana, great to 'see' you!! Christmas sounds like it was chaotic fun with all those kids.

 Wendy 

Sheesh, you go away for a week or two and everything changes!  Tricky to navigate but I found you!  Is there anyway to go back and read posts I've missed withthis system (safer to ask than to get lost again LOL)

Tiana that does sound like good news!  And I love the idea of those digital frames, I think it's so cool how you can just insert the memory card of , say, a trip and it's like a living picture.  I'm hoping to get one soon.

Latesha, bookmark us and come back soon!  I love your purple posts!

Dream you have gone where no host has gone before too funny!

Nancy, what are you up too?  I hope it's writing!

Wendy, did you see my post telling everyone how much I loved your book?  I can hardly wait to read the next one!

I hope everyone is doing well.  We are looking into a place to stay in Maui...the place I wanted isn't available in November 08...dang!  Ah well, we'll keep searching

c-u-later

Was coming by to say hi to Nancy and ask if we'll see any Blazes from her again -- Nancy's are among my favorites. :)

But saw your name Wendy and have to tell you, I am about 1/3 through Remains of the Dead and I can't even begin to tell you how much I'm enjoying it. It's a bit dark, and gets in my head (I keep saying I won't read right before bed, but then I do...LOL), but OMG what a fantastic book. You're my new addiction (well, your books! Don't be worried, LOL).

Hello Bunnies,

I just wanted to make sure the Warren's still here, had some real trouble finding the place.  I am really sorry that I would not be around much to get more accustomed to the place.  However, just saying hello to all and hoping that the Queen Bunny finds her way here soon.

Tiana, I hope it all works out for you, I know how the waiting game can take much out of you.

Latesha so glad to see you

And all the other bunnies, it makes my heart glad to know that even though I am not around you all are still here, I miss you all a lot.

So glad all the bunnies are finding their way!  And welcome to Sam our new bunny!!  Aren't Wendy's books wonderful?  I can't wait for the next one.  Speakeingof wonderful, does anyone here read Michael Connely?  I think I've talked bout him before.  I just read his latest yesterday and it was really good but you know, I almost solved the crime this time-yeah me!  I was supposed to be at a wedding yesterday but I hve this stupid head cold that is moving to my chest and yesterday I had no voice whatsoever, so I just went to the ceremony and came home to snuggle with tea and book and a blankie, LOLIIHAV! (laughing out loud if I had a voice) Now I know all brides are beatuiful but OMG!!! this bride was exceptionally gorgeous.  She looked like a real life Barbie-doll.  Her groom burst into tears when he saw her, hell I even cried! MOstly out of envy I think for the figure I will never have but WOW is all I can say.  SHe looked amamzing.  Also, it snowed here yesterday which is just what she was hoping for for her wedding and she had this beautiful faux fur stole wiht a white satin bow to cover her shoulders--stunning!

Me, I slumped there with my sick-head and slumped back home.  The kids were both at Bday parties so I had a few hours to myself.  Dh is trying to quit smoking--YIKES!  what a grouch! but after a pack a day for 33 years to nothing, I guess I'd be a grouch too.  He's doing better this time than any other time before--he seems really determined and I think he might actually make it.  That would be tha most amazing thing because he has nver been able to see himself as a non-smoker before.  I reallyhope he can do it.

Anyway, off to find another cuppa for my sore throat

stay healthy buns!

Camille

Thanks Camille!  I found the warren.  Hope you are feeling better!  Good luck to your DH.  My dad had tried to quit several times over the years then decided one day he was going to quit and he did, cold turkey and never went back.  He'd been smoking for 35 years.  So it can be done

Hey Dream I was wondering where I would go to find out the names of the people who did winthe conflict of interest contest...can you help out a fellow bunny?

Hey Latesha big Bunny Wave to you.  I am so sorry it is snowing in NJ, of course in Trinidad and Tobago we have lots of sun, sea and Carnival, yes we are in Carnival time mode again and the season is passing fast this year because it is so early.

Camille, I know about smokers and their habits up to a few years ago my uncle lived with us and my dh is asthmatic and smoke is one of his major triggers and my uncle could not understand this.  One day my uncle developed a heavy nasal cough and without going to the doctor he knew he was in trouble and just like that he quit.  We were all amazed and really happy about it.  He no longer lives with us but he is still smoke free.   So keep applauding the effort.

Hey Belarl! Carnival time hey? We usually have bunny Carnival to match...I'll get some jambalaya cooking on the stove and break out the big feathers for headdresses...what else? Alcohol is a must...I've been big into Cosmos lately--are martini's a carnival type drink? 

Thanks for the encouraging thoughts about your uncle's abilityt o quit.  Dh is determined this time, and I think he can do it.  I know it sounds weird but he just loves smoking so much that he misses it. It made him happy in so many ways--I know that sounds strange--it was a love -hate thing.

Papaya~ You are wonderful! thanks for thinking of me!

Dream~ You are the hostie with the mostie! thanks for looking in to it.  The page I bookmarked said names would be posted on Eharl but I searched and came up empty...I'd just like to keep my eye out to see what  they were looking for, you know?

Okay Belarl_ tell us what else we need to get the Warren-ival started!

Camille

Camille must've left her germs all over the Warren 'cause I caught her cold *kidding*! I haven't had a cold in AGES but it seems when I get one, I get it good. Ended up with an ear infection, sinus infection and a mild case of pneumonia but the antibiotics seem to finally be kicking in.

 It's so great to see everyone here!

Belarl & Papaya, you're making me crave a warmer climate!

Wendy 

Wendy~Hope that you are feeling better soon. Maybe you should go to somewhere warm, like where Belarl is to enjoy Carnival.

Waving to all. Hope that you all are safe and warm.

on what you can do with the house quiet for a few hours. I hope that you and your DD feel better soon. Hope that your DS has a great time at the monster truck show.

And we're so glad you're here!

I can't wait to read the book! 

Oh I just had to say I saw Nancy's Cover for French Kissing and I just LOVE it. Here's the link to the amazon site:

http://www.amazon.com/French-Kissing-Harlequin-Blaze-Warren/dp/0373793936/ref=pd_bbs_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203092298&sr=8-12

 Oh and Hi to Latesha!

I like the cover to French Kissing as well. Thanks for sharing the link, Wendy.

Waving to all the bunnies. Hope that you all are staying warm and busy. :)

got a beautiful flower arrangement, Camille. Let's hope that your DH gets back on the no smoking again. He lasted for a month and he can do it again. Ihope that you feel better soon and that your throat lump goes away with no more problems for you.

Waving to all.

Hi All

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Just getting accustomed to my new digs and realise that Nancy and Catherine's Special Author Discussions fall under my portfolio.  So you'll see me drop by to join in the discussions...

wj

Aloha Wayne, I live on an island too  Right now it's spewing lava into the ocean again.  Wish it would just take a years break or something, I'm getting tired of thevog.

LOL Camille, that sounds like you had fun!

I didn't get a chance to mail the stuff to you yet, it's still sitting on my desk.  Because it's going to Canada, i have to see an actual postal person to send it instead of being able to just drop it in teh box. I'll get there yet...

BTW, a male bunny is a buck! 

Thanks for the welcome, ladies.

Island life is great! Fortunately, we don't have the lava spewing, but hurricanes do cause as some anxiety each year.

wj

Wendy, good luck with the deadline and sick kiddos!

I think this is the first time I've noticed your picture. You're a hottie, my friend. :)

That is hillarious!  fatty maybe, not hottie!  but I'll take your compliment today because I bought a new outfit for work and I'm feeling good...actually I bought a new necklace and earring set and when it came (I bought it from Avon) it was a different colour than I thought it was going to be.  (It said spice and I'd say it's corally orange)  So I had to go buy a new outfit to go with it...this of course led to new shoes to go with the outfit...then a second outfit because it would be a shame not to wear the shoes more often, sigh, is wish I had a million dollars, boy could I shop!

I finally picked up French Kissing today!!!! I can hardly wait to have time to read it...in fact I am dying to just have time to savor it!! PArt of me wants to delve into it right away but experience has tuaght me to savor the good ones so I might just wait until my vacation to the island,w here I do nothing but read..or ...I might read it when Hubby and I go away for our mid week dash to Victoria...he always LOVES it when I'm reading Nancy's books LOL!

I am working on my new historical again and feeling pretty pumped about it...I really like the story so far and the characters are screaming at me to write write write....that the author likes the story is always a good sign hey LOL!

did I tell you guys that for Christmas I bought the first season of the Waltons?  I wanted to have the optionof watching some good old fashion values type shows with my kids and guess what? they love it!!! they beg me to watch it and just watched the last episode of season one on Easter Sunday (It was an Easter special)  I have ordered seasons 2-5 and they should arrive any day!  I am really pleased to have found something that my son will sit down and watch with me.  We shoot hoops and play wii together and watch Idol...all initiated by him, so it's nice that he has responded so positively to something initiated by me...I'm hoping it continues into his teen years...how long did the Wlaton's run? ha ha ha

My kid's school is having their annual carnival and this year's theme is "Carnivale"!  I'm so excited!  I think about the bunnies all the time...I hope you are doing well!

Camille

What a glorious earth day!  The sun was shining and I actually believe that spring might finally be here Though now that I've said that it will probably revert to rain!  It has been so cold here...I am usually a warm person but lately I've been freezing!  That is not helping me shed the "winter weight" LOL that I've had for 8 years ha ha ha!  The kids were supposed to walk to school today...about 1.5 miles for them.  So we did it, in about 30-35 minutes but then I had to walk back...sheesh!  I made it home in one piece and then rewarded myself with a little shopping.  next week is our annual pro- d day at work and I will be the MC so I wanted a new outfit...found a great blouse and i will pair it with a pencil skirt and some funky shoes I think...need to start working on my speeches or notes or whatever an MC calls them.  Does anyone have any good jokes?

Papaya~ You are so wonderful!  Alas, Hawaii is looking like a bit of dream these days...WE've had a few more expenses than we thought with renovations and now the addition looks like it will be about 35K...then we have to buy tickets for the Olympics in the fall too....I am keeping the Maui dream alive but Ithink at this point we are hanging in by our finger nails LOL!  IF I could find a nice place to stay inexpensively that might make the difference--the  place we had lined up is unavailable and the other place we had in mind doesn't even rent out anymore..boo hooo  We'll have to make some decisions soom...plus I need a new car <sigh> Maybe I'll win the lotto!

I hope you are all writing by candlelight tonight to conserve on this earth day...we had a "green supper", recylced the bags and bottles to the deopt and had a "no power hour" at midday as well.

hugs~

Camille

Hi Bunnies,

I've missed The Warren so much. I have good reasons, though, been busy with the writing, which is always good, also busy running. I ran the Vancouver Sun Run in April and then yesterday I ran the Pacific Spirit Run. Gorgeous run through treed trails, but I am one sore bunny today. The bad news is that my hands and wrists are so bad I'm being referred to a neurologist. It seems all this writing is hard on the body. Who knew??

Lots of bunny love going out to you all.

love Nancy
