Thankfully there’s no hello fadder to follow that. Whew! Doged a bullet with that one.

For those of you that aren’t following what I’m saying, I’ll clue you in. From 8/5/06 to this past Friday, 11/26/06, my parents had no clue that I wrote Erotic Romance. Hear that mom? It’s Erotic Romance, not porn! Anyway, I sent mom an email while I was there visiting and of course what appeared at the bottom of my email? My signature saying “hey, here’s my website”. *groan*

Needless to say, it didn’t take her long to check it out. Bright and early Friday morning I got hit with “I didn’t know my daughter wrote porn!” *groan again*

I’m not embarassed by what I write. I enjoy reading erotic romance and enjoy writing it even more… But having your mom find out that way is almost like having her walk into your bedroom when you’re getting down with the hubby. It’s embarassing!

Anyway, I’d like to throw a big shout out to “The Mom” now that she’s found my webby home.

Not “special” or “weird”…quirky.  That’s the label I prefer.  Let’s be realistic, as a writer there’s got to be a little something about me that’s not right.  I mean really… I walk around with character’s voices in my head at all times… Thankfully they aren’t the ”white coat” kinda voices.  They’re more the… “God, damn… that’s it Chris, suck my cock.”  kinda voices. 

Now THOSE are the fun kinda voices.  LOL  Of course then Mr. C looks over my shoulder and realizes that the character speaking is a guy… and so is Chris.  Jeez, you’d think I had the white coat voices in my head!  Now we just pretend that Chris is a girl. 

Next week I’ll have to pretend that the voices don’t have full-on-throw-down-wild-monkey-sex.  Why you ask?  I’m going to visit The Mom.  She knows that I am doing this whole writing thing and that I enjoy it, but she doesn’t exactly know that the words cock & pussy appear regularly… or at all.  She thinks I’ve been toiling away at writing grocery store romance.  *snort*  Yeah, right. 

So, the laptop will be going with me to Montgumerie, Alabamah next.  (Yes, I know how to spell.  But the twang returns when I start talking of heading home)  Wish me luck in the land of the twangs, I’ll need it.  People there are… nice… and verryyyyyyy slow.  Honestly, they’re probably no slower than the average person, but down here in the land of the sun and eighty degree Christmas’s… People move a heck of a lot faster without the ma’am’s and sir’s.

Wish me luck and a heap load of tolerance!

Today is Topaz a.k.a. Queen Peaches’ Birthday!  Happy Birthday hon!  May you have all of the yummy peaches your heart desires!

I hate being sick.  What sucks more is that I’m sick enough to feel reallllyyyy shitty, but not sick enough to garner any sympathy from those around me.    I’ve had a cough for two weeks and I feel generally exhausted, but that’s it.  No runny nose or yucky sinuses.  Oh!  I’ve had pink eye off and on for the last two weeks…  Still no sympathy.  So, I’m giong to go crawl to the couch and be a bum for the next week until I get to mommy’s for Thanksgiving.  Being with mommy always makes things better.

Celia

Damn, I think he may be a celebrity in my world too.   *Here hot tottie…*  Why do they never come when they’re called?  I swear, you’d think these guys would come when a woman as hot as myself calls.  Wanted to give ya’ll a heads up…My friend Shara Cooper has posted the first chapter of her new story on her blog and….mmmmmm….  You’ll love it and beg for more!

I’ve been working on JP2: Natural Love and *sigh* these guys are being pains.  Do you know what its like to have two male characters that proclaim to be ‘tops’?  It’s damn hard darn it!  They’re both domineering and are giving me trouble and I’m only in the first chapter.  Why can’t I write a man as a pansy ass pushover?  *Ce answers herself:  Because that wouldn’t be any fun!*  LMAO  Oops!  Gotta keep a lid on the LMAO’s or I’ll have Dr. Mcfuxalot after me….

It didn’t work yesterday.  So, I’ve updated the subscription box code again and now we’ll see if it works today.  Cross your fingers!  Hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend!  I managed to get a smidge of writing done, but not enough to satisfy me of course.  I’m working on book two in the Jaguar Pride series and I’m hoping to have 10k words by this weekend.  Yeah, I know, I shouldn’t put deadlines on myself as it could hinder rather than help the creative process, but I can’t help it.  I’m a deadline driven individual.  Tell me I have as much time as it takes, and it’ll take forever.  Tell me you need it yesterday….you’ll have it in five minutes. 

Have a great day all!

Celia

PS.  Booyah!  It worked!  Feel free to subscribe via the R-mail box in the sidebar cause you’ll definitely get updates emailed to you within an hour or two of me posting.  What could be better? 

Yep, this is a test.  Had this been an actual post, the words you are reading might have held some meaning or message.  Aw…who am I kidding?  All I ever do is write meaningless babble.  Seriously folks.  This post is here to see how well R-mail will work.  I’ve put a new subscription box on this page for those of you that would like updates emailed to you as opposed to actually coming to my site.  I switched to R-mail because, well, they’re better.  I’ve got several subscriptions to other sites through them and I usually have updates in my inbox within a couple of hours as opposed to Feedblitz’s 24 hours.  When I realized it was taking Feedblitz that long to email out new posts, I knew I needed to find a better subscription service….so I did.  And what’s better?  It’s free!!!!!!  Woot!!!!!  So, with this post, we’ll see how good it actually is…   *fingers crossed that I’ll have this post in my inbox soon*

Not only Blogger, but Wordpress as well!  I successfully ported my blogger Sinful Little Secrets template to Wordpress.  Check out the results here.  What’s the you say???  It looks the same as it did on blogger?  No shit Sherlock!  That’s the point!  Mwhahahahahaha!   The template was designed by Lunastone Designs, but I didn’t feel like paying to have her port the site into Wordpress.  So, why shouldn’t I try my hand at it?  I did, and it worked!!!!   Happy Dance!!!  Whew!  The blogger versions of my two blogs will stay up indefinitely with a post redirecting everybody here and amazingly enough I was able to import my blog posts into Wordpress easily, so no content was lost.  And now I am no longer at blogger’s mercy when it doesn’t want to upload piccy’s!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Celia

Those of you that know me, know that the above piccy has to be my absolute fave.  *sigh*  If only he was nearby.  I’d just want a little taste of what he’s got right there.  *Here hottie, hottie, hottie…*  Damn, it didn’t work.  Oh well.  Not much beyond drooling over the above pic going on today.  My good intentions got shot to hell last night when I got home and I didn’t manage to get anything written.  I’ll be updating my WIP page this weekend.  Giving you guys a glimpse at what else I’ve got roaming around in my head. 

In the mean time, enjoy my man above.  And believe me when I say he’s my man.  If I ever run into him IRL, it’s on.  Wedding vows bedamned.  Hubby and I have a mutual agreement that if we ever stumble across a celebrity that wants to get it on and we’re all for it, it’s on.  The guy above is posted on my blog, he’s a celebrity in my world.  Now I just have to find him and drug…I mean convince him to throw down with me. 

Celia

Hey Guys and Gals!  Welcome to my blog now hosted on my site.  Operative words in that sentence…my.  I was so tired of blogger deciding to crap out on me for no good reason that I’ve moved my daily ramblings to my own site.  There are no immediate plans to move my story blog over as it would take work to reformat the layout for Wordpress and after futzing with this one, I’m feeling lazy.    So….whatcha think?  I kinda like it here…  It’s a little more me!  Yummy purples and brown.  It makes me feel warm and fuzzy and reminds me of chocolate.  Mmmmm…..

So, what am I working on…  Shara has my story Wicked Shift that she’s looking over and providing a crit for.  She’s said she enjoys the story, but there are some things that may be missing.  As soon as she gets it back to me I’ll be adding in yummy stuff and I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to submit it to a publisher by the end of the year.  I’m going to start writing book 2 in the series tonight if all goes well.  Training a newbie at work has been stealing all of my creative juices lately, but a quick chat with Shara this afternoon got them flowing again.  (Minds out of the gutter people!)

What else is going on???  Oh!  Boobs are feeling better!  Thanks for all of the well wishes and soft cyber hugs I received.  Mr. Celia is still being all gropey.  Do men not realize that they’ll get a heck of a lot further with a woman if he is tender and loving as opposed to all grrrr…. all the time.  I admit…I like a little rough and tumble every now and again, but if my boobs are sore, you will get a hell of a lot further if you’re soft and tender.  Tender dammit, tender!!!  Blahhh!  Whatever.  He’s not getting any until he looks up the word in the dictionary.  So there.

Have a great day!

Celia

PS.  Is anyone else in shock over the fact that today is November 1st?  Damn.  XXX-mas is around the corner…
