Birthdays:
I love em. Seriously. Your birthday, my birthday, my friends and families birthdays. I look forward to each and every one. They are a day to celebrate and have some fun. Over the years I have had some spectacular birthdays and I’ve tried to create some pretty special ones for my kids.
I think my favorite that I did for my oldest daughter (who left for college this week. *sniff*) was the time I drove and rounded up her friends at 5:30 am before school so we could all gather in her room and scare err I mean wake her up with a shocking early morning birthday breakfast. And I think if you asked her it would probably be her most memorable.
My youngest daughter has a birthday coming up in about ten days and when I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday she said “nothing.”
Whaaatttt?!?!?!
Nothing! I can’t do nothing. Time to get out the devious mom hat and start planning something good wouldn’t you say?
As for my own birthdays, these days I tend to want to do something from my bucket list. (don’t we all?) This year I’m going a little crazy. My birthday is this summer and I’m packing up and moving my entire family across the country to somewhere completely different from where we’ve lived all our lives. Time for change. *g* (and new adventures)
Viva la birthday!
By the way:
If you hadn’t heard, I had a new release last week and I’m dying to share it with you. Smoking hot vampire anyone?
The truth may set her free but there’s no guarantee she’ll recover.
Abby Douglas has lived in the dark for six months. Until a mysterious package and a voice in a dream spark a chain of events she didn’t see coming. To futher complicate matters, a lethally stunning stranger walks into her life and awakens erotic needs inside her that run deep. Now she has to decide how much she’ll give up to unlock her memories.
Caleb Barrett, a vampire on a mission, pursues Abby while on the hunt for a homicidal vampire. Instead he’s captured by a silken voice and haunting eyes that stir an insatiable hunger. An instant connection is forged and Caleb marks her as his own with no intention of letting her go. When she runs from him all bets are off and this dead sexy cowboy will do whatever it takes to find out what secrets her mind harbors before it’s too late. Rules or no rules.
Suddenly being careful what you wish for is more than just another cliché, it’s life or death.
This books contains one sexy as sin, motorcycle riding, black leather wearing vampire with a two track mind. Sex and blood.
Now it’s your turn!

My Birthday this year is the big 30! Yikes O.0
I’m making the most of it, going to AAD which will be my first Author Con, first time in NOLA, first time on a plane and first time being away from my kids and Hubby (which I think is going to be hard). Huge year of firsts for me

Number one on my bucket list is to go to either Scotland or Ireland. Kilts, accents, pub crawling and an alpha man or two sounds like fun to me!

How about a personal sized b-day cake waiting her her with her favorite ice cream for breakfast! I’d like that myself. Or a day off from school???? My top thing on my bucket list is to go visit Scotland. Happy Birthday Carrie Ann.

Oh yes, I have a bucket list. Some of the stuff on it is stuff I’d like to do, i.e. go in a hot air balloon. But mostly, it’s places I’d like to see – which are FAR too many to list!
I have a bucket list. One item on there is to go on a safari in Africa.
My daughter has a birthday coming up too. My bucket list is to travel and see parts of the US I haven’t been, then see Europe and more. We’ll see how far I get. Thanks for the giveway!
On my bucket list I have only one item and that is to remember what I did with my bucket list! (Too many senior moments these days)

Congrats on your release. I don’t really have a bucket list but the one place I want to visit is China so I guess that would be a bucket list item.

I don’t have a bucket list. That means I will have to kick the bucket one day…something I am not doing…not without a fight anyway
The one thing I do want to do is visit Ireland. I have seen so many beautiful pictures. I just have to go.

I’ve never actually written a bucket list but I have things in mind that I’d like to do before I die. One of those was that I wanted to be in a movie. LOL And when I was diagnosed with skin cancer (though a treatable kind) I made that one happen. I was an extra in the movie Abduction, starring Taylor Lautner. After that I was an extra in the movies Steel Town (with Maggie Maggie Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis and Ving Rhaymes) and The Dark Knight Rises. I’m actually going to an open casting call this Saturday for a Matt Damon movie.
Thank you for the giveaway!

I don’t really have a written bucket list, but maybe I should write one. I do have some things I want to do before I get too old, one is travel out of the US to Canaday (will have to be during summer) and Great Britian/Europe.
Thank you for the giveaway. Happy birthday to Carrie Ann and to your daughter’s upcoming one.

I don’t really have a bucket list. But I’d like to make a trip out to Yellowstone and stop at all the scenic places on the way there and back home.
I’d also like to go to England, Scotland, Ireland and visit all those beautiful castles.
Happy Birthday Carrie Ann.

Great Birthday Hop! Thank you for the giveaway and participating in the HOP.
I guess I have a bucket list. One of the things I would love to do is travel to Europe! I live in the US and have never been out of the country. I especially want to see Italy, Germany and Spain.
Happy Early Birthday to your daughter!
That’s great that you are going to have new adventures with moving across country. Hope it goes well. I love the blurb of Vampire Awakening! I have it already added to my TBR.
