Going Orgasmic (like that’s a surprise *grin*)
First, let me say I am aware I haven’t mentioned much about my books in the last week or so. That doesn’t mean I’m not working/writing. I am. Really. I’m just chin-deep at the moment in the final edits on my latest erotica novella The Harvest Moon. Very exciting stuff for a novelist, but not for readers, so I have been sparing you the juicy details. And as I am writing this post, I am printing out the edited copy of Call of the Witches: Book Three of the Witchery Series. Yay! My editor and I will be finishing final edits on that book this week, and then my publisher will be sending it off to the printer, so it can hit stores later this month. Okay, that’s my writing update for those of you with inquiring minds (and I know who you are *big smile*).
OMGoddess!!! I had a shopping orgasm yesterday. I kid you not. I have a few fav stores. KMart is one (90% of my wardrobe comes from KMart…who knows why?…they just seem to have clothes/shoes that always look good on me). Target is another. I LOVE Target!! I know I need supervision when I set foot in Target, so I limit my trips and build up a big shopping list before I go (usually every 2-3 months). Yesterday was one of those days. I won’t tell you how much I bought (the fact that my Uber shrieked like a banshee when he saw the receipt will give you some idea *grin*). But I have to tell you about two of those things.
I was cruising the music department and freaked when I discovered they had marked down Journey’s Great Hits CD to $9.98. AWESOME! So I snapped that baby up. I have been going through Journey withdrawal whenever I’m in my husband’s car, because all he has is the solo album by Steve Perry. I’ve been wanting to buy the Greatest Hits CD for his car as well, since that CD is NEVER leaving my car as long as I am still breathing (wicked grin). Then I’m cruising the end racks on my way out of the music department and found a DVD of concert footage from Journey’s greatest hits marked down to $9.98. OMGoddess!! Gotta have that one too!
I was in such a good mood when I left Target that I decided to run by Dillard’s at the mall. And this is entirely your fault, BTW. I have become totally hooked on sexy lingerie (it’s such fuuuuun!). Yes, you created a monster when you convinced me of the joys of sexy lingerie. Anyway, I am completely addicted to the 75% off lingerie rack at Dillard’s. Who can resist, right? Designer quality lingerie regularly priced as high as $130 now marked down as low as $9.50. Yes, there is a Goddess, and she obviously loves designer lingerie, because she makes sure new items are marked down and added to that rack every week. Love it!
I found a sinfully decadent black babydoll in fishnet (who knew that stuff was so soft?!) marked down from $50 to $12. Yup, snapped that one up, too. Can’t wait to spring it on my Uber this weekend. I have to say the sizing in designer lingerie is a hoot. I wear a Large in women’s shirts, because my bra size is 38-B. However in babydolls I can wear anything from a Medium to a Small. Crazy, I know. A Large in lingerie is so big it falls right over my hips and…whoosh!…hits the floor. I know. Not a bad thing in the heat of passion, but still… However the fishnet number I bought yesterday was an XL. Had to be the smallest XL ever, and it fit me perfectly. No wonder it was on sale. It was the same size as a Medium or a Small in other brands.
Anyway, those are the highlights from my shopping trip. Okay, I didn’t mention the pack of twenty plastic hangers in three shades of pink I also bought at Target for $2.99 (I was sooooo excited…you know how nutso I go over anything pink, and I love plastic hangers). No wonder I was orgasmic by the time Igot back to my office. All I can say is every day I thank my lucky stars I’m a woman. When it comes to shopping, we ROCK!!

Oh my god, I adore shopping. It’s a problem, really. I love spending money whether I have it or not. Man, I don’t even care if it’s my money! I’m oh so dangerous with Barret’s debit card.
I love Target too. And plastic hangers. I hate the wire ones, I think they look so tacky. And since I’m a little OCD, I have a tendency to want things to look nice and match up and all that.
Ooh, shopping. I wish I had some money right now!! I’m so excited that it’s almost time to start Christmas shopping! I ADORE christmas shopping, because as much as I love buying myself presents, I adore buying things for other people. You know when you find that PERFECT present for someone? Like it was made for you to buy for that one person? Ooh, it’s such a rush!
Ok, I need to stop, or else I’m going to mentally leave my job completely!!

I love, love, love, love, love shopping
I love finding the perfect deal or just the thing I was looking for!! I have been trying to reign myself in with my shopping habits lately, so I am not spending too much. My clothing budget has just been suspended for awhile (I mean why buy clothes now when a couple months down the road I will hopefully need new ones!) So, I am trying to be better about buying. My biggest splurge is usually books…I just can’t resist books!
I just started doing some jewelry with beads now and I have gotten to the point that I really love that too. So, I just have to remind myself to hold off and not got super crazy. I have way too many hobbies for the time that I have to do them!!
Glad that we have finally inducted you into the lingerie club, I mean seriously a romance author who isn’t in love with lingerie, I didn’t think they existed
I don’t know about you but I kinda just like wearing the stuff. Half the time, I am tempted to wear it around the house
Glad you had a good shopping day

You crack me up!! No, think of me as an romantic erotica author who is in love with being NAKED. That was me. Makes sense, right?
But now I am loving this lingerie. I mean what’s not to like? It’s wicked and soooo girlie. And as my Uber always says, if I am anything I am a “girlie girl” through and through. *big smile*

Okay, romantic erotica author with NAKED fetish…got it. Definitely sounds about right!
I don’t think you can get too much more girlie than lingerie! What kind of reaction do you think I would get if Hubby came home one night and I was cleaning house in my lingerie! That would be pretty hilarious

Ha! That reminds me of something. I am old enough to remember the early feminist movement in the late 60s/early 70s….ya know, the bra-burners, etc. Back then they were telling women to take charge of their sex lives and to go for more sex with their husbands if that’s what they wanted.
One of the “methods” they suggestd was to take off all your clothes, grab a box of kitchen plastic wrap, and wrap yourself up in a several sheets of that stuff. Then greet your husband at the door when he comes home in the evening like that to entice him to have sex with you more often.
Cracks me up every time I think about it. Now in 2008 if you did that most husbands would look at you funny and say, “Honey, I have no idea what you’re doing. But, just in case, I think you’re too big to fit in the microwave.” ROFL

You know, I must be a boring bint. I honestly don’t have any sexy lingerie. Oh it’s all clean, paid for and fits. It’s boring, but hey it does the job. Heh. Probably why I’ve been between partners for so long. I’ve kind of forgotten how! Anyway. Sorry. Going off topic. Yay for you that you’ve got all those bargain and an appreciative Uber too, even if he was a bit vocal to begin with. I just need to get one for myself, now.

What can I say? Ubers are always very vocal about EVERYTHING! I think it goes with being an Uber. The good thing is I’ve had lots of practice ignoring it (grin).
Hey, don’t feel bad. I didn’t have any sexy lingerie until this summer when some of my readers talked me into trying it. Boyfriend or not, why don’t you cruise the lingerie department sometime and take the plunge, too? It’s such FUN!! Do it for yourself. I wonder if the same principle applies to boyfriends and sexy lingerie as it does to baseball movies? Ya know, “try it,” and they will come? Sounds good to me! *naughty grin*
