Monday Musings

WHAT JENN IS WORKING ON NOW: Fast-drafting Bliss #2--tentatively titled A Deal with the Doctor.
WHAT JENN IS LISTENING TO NOW: My fav song right now is "Beautiful Day" by Donovan Frankenreiter.

Happy Monday, all! And Happy Labor Day if you are in the U.S. 

I'm having both sides of the family coming over for a BBQ. Always an "interesting" time when I do that.

Speaking of interesting... 

I had some pretty interesting people observations this summer, which provided the hubby and I plenty of laughter. And in my case, blog fodder, as well. So I have to share.

Here's #1:

My hubby was greeted with ye ole stocking feet guy before we even took off on the airplane. I was sitting across the aisle and was partly disgusted but mostly amused. Naturally, I needed to capture the moment.

#2

Same flight. Only MY seat.

The guy in front of me decided he wanted leg room and put his carry-on in my under-the-seat space.

I actually found this very funny. I slyly kicked it toward him and he eventually moved it to where it belonged.

No confrontation and everyone was happy. Well, I was happy.

#3

Went to the beach one weekend and put down a towel in front of my chair. Started reading and was so engrossed, didn't notice that a family descended upon me and parked their stuff right on top of my towel! Seriously?

Um... it was a big beach.

Had to snap a picture before I politely asked her to step off. :-)

And lastly, #4:

At the beach a different day and looked to my right. This scared the bejeebies out of me. This is actually the top of the guy's head. (His nose is in the towel) But his hat and glasses made it look like a creepy face. :)

And thus concludes my weird observations of the summer. Ha!

How about you? Have any weird people observations or happenings happen lately?

Before I forget... BIG NEWS:

I hit the USA TODAY Bestseller's list for WRONG BROTHER, RIGHT MATCH!

So pour the champagne! I was so overcome with emotion that when I went to tell my husband, he thought someone had died!

**Thank you to my publisher, my editor, my critique partners and everyone who reviewed and bought my book. I am humbled.**

Until next time,

Jennifer

Some Monday Musings

Happy Monday, all!

I'm a little pressed for time today, so I'll keep my thoughts short. LUCKY YOU!

1) I have a chip in my granite already. I know. Only me. It's small and I think it can be fixed, but I think it's God way of reminding me that possessions are fleeting. LOL

2) Forget the IPhone. I want a dog now. Saw my brother last night and his new 3 month old puppy. Soooooooooo cute. He's a cross between a Labradoodle and a Cockapoo. He so sweet and hypoallergenic. Bonus.

3) Getting a haircut today. I'm thinking of bobbing it and having it shorter in the back. Hmmm...

4) Looking at backsplash is driving me more crazy than looking at granite. Nuff said.

5)I had a little writing challenge last week with fellow Avalon author bud, Julie Stone. There was a $5 Starbucks card on the line so we took it very seriously. But it was a draw. It really helped me write more because every time I figured I was done, I would think, "Hmm...what if she's still writing?" LOL

6) We're out of coffee. NOT a good way to start a Monday. I usually keep a back up can so I don't know how this happened. :(

7) Watched a good movie on Netflix that I highly enjoyed. The Groomsmen. It starred Ed Burns. Kind of an Indie movie. I rarely get a chance to sit and watch a movie so it was a nice treat.

8) Brother is hosting Thanksgiving this year. I usually bring the desserts so I was thrown for a loop when I was told to bring...the sweet potatoes.

9) Blogger and my laptop don't seem to get along anymore. More nuff said.

And that's all for me.

Anything you'd like to get off your chest?
Rent any good movies lately?
