Confessions of a Shopoholic
Yes, I confess I wanted to see this movie. It's a romantic comedy after all, and it was written by Sophie Kinsella. Now, what author in their right mind wouldn't turn green with envy ! To have your bestselling book become a movie right before your eyes! I have to say I loved it! I smiled during the entire 103 minutes of this movie.
Even if I didn't care for the premise, I'd love just watching what crazy designer outfits she comes up with. It's Gucci this and Dolce and Gabbana that. But as silly as the story was, it was entertaining. I even dragged my hubby to the show, and guess what? He liked it! We both walked out of the movie theater in a good mood and let's face it, in today's world, what's wrong with a little escapism if it makes you smile?

Do You Love Country Music?
I guess it's natural since this New York born author writes westerns, that I would love country music. This week I'm excited because I'm going to see Brooks and Dunn in concert. I've never seen them live before, but I love Ronnie Dunn's voice so much and the two make a dynamic pair!
It's always fun to enjoy concerts with friends. Author Tanya Hanson and I have gone to every Tim McGraw concert together for the past five years -- that's when he comes to the our city. In 2006, we saw Tim and Faith perform and it was the BEST! This year our hubbies will be joining us and we'll be doing dinner at Bubba Gumps at Universal Citiwalk! At least, I hope so. I don't know about the crowds, though it is Oscar Night, so that means either the freeways and restaurants will be empty or crowded. I'll get back to you on that.
On SATURDAY, I'm guest blogging at http://www.prairiechickswriteromance.blogspot.com/
Please stop by and say hello - you may just win something!

Staying Heart Healthy
It's rewarding work and it gets me away from the computer a few times a week. February is American Heart Month. Sure, we celebrate love and romance on Valentine's Day, but just as importantly we focus on staying heart healthy and getting the word out about CPR.
Have you taken a CPR class lately? Do you know how to stay heart healthy? Do you know the common risk factors that lead to coronary artery disease and heart attack?
My blog at Petticoats and Pistols, called The Heart You Save May Be Your Own ... is a different take on Valentine's day. Stop by for current info from AHA and me about staying heart healthy!
I am also the Spotlight Author on Pam Thibodeaux's Blog on Valentine's Day. I hope to see you there too!!
Oh and if you signed up for the Suite Valentine's Day Contest, this week, please re-enter. There was a techo glitch in the system. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Reserved For The Tycoon Available Now!
Read the third book and final story of the Suite Secrets Series, RESERVED FOR THE TYCOON. Excerpt Below.
Seduction and Sabotage
This elegant hotel on the lush Hawaiian island of Maui was everything Vanessa Dupree had dreamed of. Working here meant she could take the sweet revenge she had reserved for Brock Tyler, the ruthless tycoon who owned the resort. She’d destroy his business, paying him back for what he’d done to her family. But was this devastatingly handsome—and dangerously charming—man beginning to suspect his new “right-hand woman”? And was that the real reason for the sizzling seduction that was making it so hard to keep her mind on sabotage…?

Christmas at Our House
We love our fake trees. This tinsel tree we forgot that we purchased last year after Christmas. It's pre-lit and we keep no ornaments on it. It's a reminder of the trees our parents had when we were growing up. Don't you love it? We've always wanted a tree in our family/TV room. We spend a lot of time in there.
This one belonged to my mother. When she got too old to put a big tree, she decorated this tiny one with small ornaments. It sits in my living room now on a tabletop.
After 30 years of real trees, we decided to avoid the hassle and cost of getting a live tree - my husband worried about the dry pine needles causing a house fire as one house in our neighborhood burned to the ground that way. What can you do? In California our warm temps during winter causes problems. This tree is our mainstay and houses all of our favorite ornaments.
Oh and if you'd love a really great free online read, our fellow Filly from Petticoats and Pistols is offering up a daily serial of a great western!

Something You Don't See Very Much in California
Our friends just sent up this picture from their home in Palmdale, California. Palmdale is considered the high desert, just 6o miles from Los Angeles. Wednesday, my friend was snowed in at her daughter's house. It took a four-wheeler to get her home.
Snow in this area happens rarely, so it's a treat to see their Winter Wonderland. Pretty, but oh so dangerous if you're not prepared.
We have to drive up north to see snow normally.
Do you get snow where you live?
