Well I have an excuse – a real one this time.  Unexpected root canal. Go ahead, shudder then come back. Was told to eat high fiber so I got some of that cereal with the sticks and rocks it in (I think it’s supposed to be nuggets and nuts, etc.) and bit down on one of the rocks. At least the procedure is nowhere near as traumatic as it used to be, but still not what you’d call fun. 

I guess what intrigues me about this is that it drives all ideas out of my head. I’d like to think I could escape to a happier place when something like this happens. Instead it throws me out of my head and into reality. Who needs that? I want all of my imaginary friends to be there to help me out instead of deserting me.

At least I’ve been writing long enough to know this won’t last long and I’ll get back to writing – hopefully by the weekend, but what do you do? How to you get back up on the horse and force real life away? Love some suggestions to get through tomorrow…

Have to admit this has always been a special day for me and not because of romance – though I do enjoy that. Valentine’s Day was Daddy’s birthday. Since he was without a doubt the best daddy in the world that made the day especially special.

I remember thinking when I was little that it just wasn’t fair that he had to give away presents on his birthday. It was an all-female house so the poor guy was really trapped. I do remember the incredible cards he would buy Momma every year. I guess you would call them pop-ups but they were the most romantic looking cards you’ve ever seen – lacy and delicate. I never did know where he got them, they weren’t in any Hallmark store I ever saw. Sis and I never got that kind but I loved looking at Momma’s. We always got a red heart-shaped box of chocolates. Momma got the chocolate covered Brazil nuts.

I guess I never thought of the man as especially romantic, but he did pull out all the stops out that day.

I’m part of the Share the Love Blog Hop and we’re sharing info about new favorite authors over these few days. Today I’m highlighting Elena Dillon – she writes YA and if you haven’t tried her, you’re missing out. I hadn’t read much YA, but I had the privilege of meeting Elena at Moonlight and Magnolias in Georgia a couple of years ago – she was such a delight I decided to branch out and see what YA was about.  Believe me, she knows and you need to find out as well… 

And just found out Breathe is now available as an audio book as well!

And stop by Herding Cats for the others on this hop! Herding Cats
