This is my family. It's the last family photo we've had taken - last year at my #2's Pre-school graduation.

LtR: My oldest - Daniel (He's only 8 but he's already trying to get away from me.), My youngest - Mark (That's his usal pose. I can't keep his finger out of his nose.), Me in the center (I look so happy to be there.), My #2 - Brodie (I had to hold him down too.), Then there's Mr. Kitten (He's apparently not really with us... He's even happier to be there than I am!)

I'm going to take you through my day - today -  even though it's not as typical since the kids were out of school. Come on in and see what I do all day!

Come inside to find out what my day

was like with my 

twin nephews:

and late night fun with my sisters.

Holy freaking crap, how is this not up yet?

I just watched Blackwater. Oh. My. God.

Tyrion is my favorite, so for me this was the best episode yet.

Please talk to me about it! So much to gush about, and so many questions! I would love to hear some speculation for the finale, and favorite moments from this episode as well! What storylines are you dying to see continue?

Spoilers for the episode inside... and lets say that book spoilers must be in white font, highlight to read...unless they are about book/show differences that have already occured.

ETA: Anyone want to play Kill/Marry/Fu--er... make love, Game of Thrones style?

I went to school for twenty-four years (yup, I counted twice to make sure) and went through training for three and a half years.  Then, a little over five years ago, both of my roommates convinced me to quit my job and Roomie No. Two became my boss.  Now I have two bosses--roomie number three is in charge while Roomie No. 2 is at school.

Come see what A Day in the LIfe is like for a pediatrician-cum-stay-at-home mom.

My roommate has taken up planking:

PS I hope to get all the pics up now as the boss is taking a nap....no promises in case she wakes up.

A Day in the Life of Satan!

Andy Samberg wants you to come in and find out what my fam did yesterday.

You don't want to let Andy down do you?

***Edit--- I posted the pics further down in the thread bc some of the posters couldn't view the youtube video :) 

A Day In The Life Of TiramiSue

This is the unspectacular tale of how my ordinary day turned out be a little less boring.

Come in and find out what the heck I'm talking about here, if you dare to! =)

Yaaay for him!!  He was one sexy smoker though.

Any smokers here in the forest?  Former smokers?  

How goes your resistance?

My son is seventeen and at least eight of his friends are smokers.  My dad is 74 and has never been able to quit, though he has tried multiple times throughout his life.

We'll see if Rob can resist!  FYT:

My day in the life was Saturday and it was a wonderful, fun, hilarious, much needed day :D

Come inside to see what;

First of all, I have no affiliation with this project.

I haven't even donated, at least not yet. I *am* thinking about it.

I feel that focusing / limiting / theming each issue will mean that good material will be passed over while poor or mediocre material that matches the theme will be chosen. ("We had a dragon issue last year, so the new Anne McCaffrey contribution will have to wait for Fall 2016.")

The earlier incarnation seems somewhat amateurish. Not much bang for the magazine buck. And four times a year? Hard to maintain excitement over that long a period of time.

Don't get me started on the tank top for what is essentially an online investor appeal. (If you look like you just wandered in from gardening or a day at the beach it doesn't inspire confidence that this is going to be anything close to a professional endeavor.)

EVEN SO ...

This could be really marvelous. The revamped -- heh! -- magazine is going to be e-zine format, which will be a huge savings, and will pay a lot more for submissions.

FOR DISCUSSION:

A new fantasy magazine for young readers: Is there a need?

Kickstarter.com: Would you use it to fund a project? Have you had any experiences with Kickstarter or a similar program, good or bad?

Would you subscribe to a magazine like this for a young reader in your life? For yourself?

Would you be interested in such a magazine that was, instead, focused on adult readers and published literary supernatural erotica?

If you are an author, would you write for such a magazine?

The decision to e-pub the magazine -- good business decision? Is something lost when you don't have the printed magazine or book in your hand? Is an e-subscription to a magazine substantially different than a print subscription?

I’m so happy ADF is doing this right now, because I actually had a great weekend (i.e. worth sharing)!

We traveled back to Iowa to visit family, since I hadn’t been able to see them since mid-March (when I started my new job).  So early Friday, we left the Detroit Metro area:

(home of Comerica Park)

And traveled back to the Quad Cities in Iowa (more inside!)

FYI. HDNet Movies (Channel 746 on my Verizon Fios), will be showing Bel Ami, June 6th at 8.45pm et. I'm not sure which subscription package HDNet comes in. Some of you may have it, and be unaware.

Anyway, save yourself the $$$ if you have access to the channel.

Hope you're having a lovely Memorial Day. 

My day in the life was Friday. It was boring but entertaining. So a fairly typical day for me. I'll apologize in advance because there aren't a lot of pictures of my day, mostly because I spent most of it in a pharmacy and we're not allowed to take pictures. Something about potentially compromising patient information. I think they just want to suck all the fun out of my life.

How am I shamelessly going to get you click on it to my DiTL? Well first I'm going to bribe you with a picture of George.

Secondly, I'm going first, so you're going to need something to occupy yourself while all the late bloomers take their time making their campfires pretty. I'm all about getting things done quick and dirty.

Thirdly, here's a list of things you'll find me ranting and/or raving about inside:
1. Work
2. My total lack of coordination
3. The lack of competency at my local Dunkin Donuts
4. John Green
5. Hilary Swank
6. Idiot customers with stupid questions
7. Life changing hotdogs
8. Magnum bars
9. (500) Days of Summer

The Looking for Love <3 CF from a few days ago inspired me to start this one. I wanted to so badly talk up my love for one Richard Rahl/Cypher, but I could not in good conscience recommend that book series. While I absolutely adore Richard and a good many of Goodkind's characters, the plots and the writing left a bit to be desired, more specifically in the later books.

Honestly, it seemed like someone got captured in every single book (and that's saying something, as the series is 11 books long)! The author is incredibly self-indulgent, taking thousands of pages to say what he could have in probably half the words. And the final impression makes me think he was trying very hard to be clever and just fell miserably short. I can't fathom how someone could write these obscenely contrived plot lines, and then place these beautiful, diverse characters throughout. 

So here's my question to all of you:

• Have you ever been so in love with a certain aspect of a book or series that you wanted to rec it, but something about it just stops you?
• Maybe there's a TV show or movie that has the most captivating script, but the lead actor is a complete moron.
• Maybe that novel you read has the hottest sex scenes, but everything else about it reeks of day old cheese.

What is your, "It's so good! If only it wasn't . . .?"

Really want to read : Full Disclosure by Betty Smith

Can somebody help me?

Thanks :)

now come in here and see what was a lazy day for me and mine. and listen to this song, it's really good.

I've been thinking about Common Threads in stories I enjoy and wanted to know if other campers felt the same.

1) If you think about  3 or 4 of your favorite stories, are there any common themes/threads between them? (Don't go run to scan you fav's on ff.net just think of the stories you've enjoyed the most off the top of your head.)

2) If you're a writer do you write what you like to read or go a completely different direction?

FYT...

I know this fic was popular at one time or another, but I can't remember the title. I believe Edward is a Hollywood actor, or something like that.  Bella is his assistant, and she's in love with him, but I don't think he knows...

It's something along these lines... ring a bell?  Sorry I don't have more detail.
