MISS BOLIVIA UNIVERSE 2011

Mini nail polish haul

My new additions to my ever growing nail polish collection, from left- OPI Lincoln park after dark, Essie Lilacism and OPI Bring on the Bling



Lincoln Park after midnight- Its a stunning blackened eggplant colour with a shimmer when it hits the light. Its formula is perfect as always, chips around 3 days which is good for my nails. Definitely a winter polish must have!!

Essie Lilacism- Hmm more suited for summer/spring but adorable anyway. Its a light blue/purple, ie lilac but lighter than typically described lilac. I love it! Formula is a little runny compared normal essie and especially compared to OPI but is lovely nevertheless.

Best for last!!

OPI Bring on the bling- Ahhh!  Its stunning, and is literally just serious amounts of glitter. Formula, little chippy and is a pain to get off as usual with glitter polishes. Its the perfect holiday colour, or for a night out. It will or should get lots of compliments :) Its from OPI's new collection Burlesque.

Benjy in London

Just popping in from Deadline Hell to share a photo of Benjamin standing with his beloved Lucy in the cage at the top of The Monument in London. Aren’t they wonderful together?

You can just see Tower Bridge to the right of Lucy's pretty head, along with a stretch of the Thames.

I got to Skype with them late yesterday, Thanksgiving Day, which was really nice because I ended up having to cancel my plans to visit my parents and have Thanksgiving dinner with them. I needed the time to write. So it was just me here with a fire and some chocolate.

BP Update: I’m halfway through Chapter 31. Only 32, 33, and the epilogue to go — which will take every second between now and early Monday AM. Keep the vibes coming! I wish it were possible to order coffee from Starbucks via Internet and have it delivered to my desk...

So I’m off again. But I had to share a photo of these two delightful young people whom I love so very much.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year, I am thankful for so many things.

I am thankful for all the support I got in getting the shackling bill passed in Colorado. I’m thankful that people’s hearts were moved and that pregnant women in prison and jail will no longer have to suffer added indignity.

I am thankful for Dr. William Bentley and the fact that the cause of the pain in my legs was finally — FINALLY! — diagnosed.

I am thankful that it was something they could treat.

And I am thankful beyond words that the surgery, performed by Dr. Saul Schwartz, was (apparently) successful. I still have a lot of healing to do, but at least I can say that now.

I'm thankful for all my mother and others did to help me during my immediate post-operative recovery period.

I’m thankful to Kat for the lovely meal that I was able to eat even though it was so hard to swallow.

I am thankful for my five-book contract with Penguin Books/Berkley Sensation.

I am thankful that the contract enables me to write Connor's book.

I am thankful to my editor that I have Jed Hill and his very fine body on the cover of Breaking Point. Yes, I know you’re thankful for that, too.

I am thankful to have two jobs and safe, warm home when so many people are losing jobs and homes.

I am thankful that I was given the gifts of language and storytelling.

I am thankful that I got to meet a few of you this year.

I am thankful for the love of my family, my friends and my readers. That includes you!

I am thankful to be living and breathing on this beautiful little planet.

And most of all I am thankful for my two sons, Alec and Benjamin.

What are you thankful for this year?

P.S. Yes, I know I said that would be my last post until the book was done, but I couldn’t miss giving you all a holiday greeting. Besides, I know you much you all love that goofy cartoon turkey!

MISS GOLF WINNER-INDIA NICOLE FARIA

MTM — Say It With Chest

Nice... Very nice...

Okay, so if you don't get it, that's a play on the FTD slogan, "Say it with flowers." But men give women flowers. Women can give women flowers, but why not give chest instead? Man-chest, that is.

Consider this my man-bouquet to all of you. It's a parting gift. Yes, I am saying farewell — temporarily.

Dry that thing... gently

Today is my last blog post until Breaking Point is done. I won't be online except to check my e-mail. I need every neuron working hard on my book, which means necessary isolation. Social media are fun, but they do take some time. Right now, every free moment I have must go into the book. I have until Nov. 29 to turn it in and, as usual, I don't know how it ends.

Mmm. Julian!

But I won't leave you alone. No, I wouldn't do that. Instead, I'm going to leave you with the flower of manhood. I hope you'll enjoy gazing upon their beauty over the next couple of weeks.

Someone got wet and sandy.

When I return, there will be excerpts and contests and reading challenges and lots of sexy photos of guys to keep your Mondays bright.

Notice the fuzz above his fun. This ought to have run last week.

In the meantime, I’ll take all the good vibes you can send my way. This is absolutely the most action-packed book I’ve ever written, and I hope to have it in your hands on May 3!

Take care, and see you again soon!
