I Survived the Insanity of Last Week. Kinda.
We had an absolute blast at my booksigning at Waldenbooks on Saturday! Although I must say it was a bizarre day, starting with the crowd at the mall, which was verrrrry sparse for the day after Black Friday. Jen came down from the upstate to the signing, and she mentioned almost everyone walking around in the mall had a scowl on their faces. Cracked me up! Well, it was raining, and lots of people will be totally stressed until after January 1. Even Yancey gave up and left early to watch the football game, proclaiming the day a waste as far as sales.
But not for me! I sold lots books anyway, and almost sold out of Call of the Witches. Plus, I met some awesome people, like Marsha, a Wiccan Witch who had moved to Columbia from Spartanburg. As well as Mark, a really nice, yummy guy. And it’s always a joy to see Jen. She is the best!
I’m mailing out my naughty holiday card today, so get ready! Because of that, I took a bunch of those cards to the booksigning. Yeah, it was a hit. The women giggled. And the men just grinned and told me how wicked I am (gee, who doesn’t know that? *lusty grin*).
Guess what? I also received a few propositions from yummy guys. No kidding. Men always flirt with me at my booksignings, and you know what a tease I am (okay, I love it *LOL). But they never ask me out. Well, this time they did. And it took me a while to figure out why. Like I said, it was pouring rain on Saturday. Because of that, I had extra stuff to pack for the booksigning, including my umbrella, and in the process I forgot to wear my rings. I realized that as I was driving away from the house, because my hands suddenly felt naked. Ladies, those of you who wear rings all the time know what I mean. I wear two sterling silver faery rings I bought at my fav online Pagan shop, The Magickal Cat (http://www.themagickalcat.com). The third ring I wear is my wedding ring. It’s a gold band with vines and flowers cut out of it, encrusted with diamonds. The jewelry store had to special-order it from Europe. It took two months for it to come in, but it was totally worth the wait. I know. I just love it!
Anyway, with no wedding ring I looked single for the first time. Big fun! Add to that my lusty aura and high energy level (which means I act and look younger). So it’s no wonder I appeared "available" this time and got a few date offers from yummy guys. Hey, nice to know the package still attracts, ya know? *lusty grin*
But I have to say I’m thrilled it’s Monday. That means I actually survived the insanity of last week. Kinda. I did wake up Sunday morning, feeling yuck, fighting off the Uber’s cold. And I’m still fighting it, drinking lots of the Chinese tea my acupuncture doctor gives me to get rid of a cold fast. And I am improving. Slowly.
So I’m trying to be a good girl today.
Nah, not really. No one would believe that anyway, right?! Oh, well…. ROFLxoxo

Hey!
I know I’ve been bad and haven’t spoken to anyone in awhile, but I’ve been so busy! (The good kind…)
Sorry I didn’t make it out to your book signing. I wasn’t about to go out the weekend after Thanksgiving. I’m only a little surprised that it wasn’t completely packed!
Anyways, I’m still reading your book. I know it’s taking me forever, but I got this idea stuck in my head and I’ve been writing like crazy!!! I’ve gotten five chapters (rough copies of course) done this week! It’s been insane! But I don’t want you to think that I’ve given up on your book or forgotten about it. I haven’t, I’ve just had to get my own thoughts out before I explode.
Hope you have an excellent day!
