Okay, so I don't EAT nail polish on bagels if you got that idea from the title. Eeew. Those are just the two things that I seem to be caught up on at the moment. Bagels...I cannot stop eatting them. All that bread cannot be doing any good, and is probably only packing on the weight I could be losing from not drinking Pepsi anymore. IDK what it is about bagels. They are my new love of the breakfast food world.

So New Year's Day I drove to Florida to visit my dad. I felt fine when I left, but that night I was hurting everywhere and was running a high fever. The chills and the fever dreams were the worst part. I dreamt of many random things in 15 - 20 minute intervals; my funeral -- because I thought I was dying, the fact that my fever would never end until some math equation was figured out with the pyramids (wtf!), and that little dudes the size of toy soldiers were standing on my back as they removed my bones and replaced them with blue lego blocks.

Yeah. Happy New Year's to me.

I have Bronchitis. I am not pleased. I am miserable, but I am trying to get through. Mayhap after this passes the year will look up.

I am also going to close my websites in the next month or two. I no longer use it often, and 12 dollars a month is a lot to someone who doesn't earn a lot from her job.

So.... You would think the maniac who posted on Eric Etebari's facebook that he was a fan fave for the role of Jericho Barrons if Darkfever, which has been optioned by 20th Century Fox & based on the book by Karen Marie Moning, and have him contact Karen and let her interview him would have pretty darned good luck, right?

Wrong.

Oh, how fate laughs at me. Let me count the ways....

1. Last night the toilet overflowed. Luckily, it was just toliet water, or it could have been worse, but unfortunately the turny knob thing that can cut off the water should it begin to overflow is no longer attached to the toliet. So I had to stand in 2 inches of water trying to soak it up with towels and wring it out in the tub.

2. The US Post Office has misplaced FIVE packages that were coming to me from various parts of the country. FIVE.

3. Car has been acting up. The steering wheel has been all funky. Then the engine was smoking really bad since last Wednesday. Today the engine died on me in the bank parking lot. It let me pull out of my parking space only to promptly die. A few nice men helped me get the car into a parking space until I could get my friend to use their AAA to get me towed to a car repair shop. An old lady threw a fit that we were blocking her in even though we were pushing the car to get it out of her way. The irony? I just placed an order on a rental for the weekend to visit my dad. It is a camry. My piece of crap car that I killed is a camry. The fates are mocking me.

That is my rant for the evening. Let's hope that my luck turns at the start of the new year. LOL.

I hope to have more to post about soon, but as of now... I got nothin'

I am in love with a Selkie Prince. His name is Conn and I would love it if he'd come kidnap me and use me to make selkie babies with him. Yes. It would be nice. LOL!

Conn's story is book three in the Children of the Sea series by Virginia Kantra. There is also a prequel in the Shifter anthology. If you like paranormal romance, and hot shape shifter men.... check out the Children of the Sea!

Also, today was the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries on the CW. I read TVD back when I was in High School. LOVED all of L.J. Smith's books, The Forbidden Game and The Vampire Diaries being the reason I fell in love with reading. I read before finding those books, but I never truly loved to read until finding L.J. Smith. As for the series, with all the changes in character appearances and names and other things here or there I was concerned. However, I am happy with the show and will be watching religiously. Ian Somerhalder NAILED it as Damon Salvatore. I would let him bite me, that dirty dirty vampire! LOL!

I never posted it, but the podcast I was a guest on to talk about V'lane from KMM's Fever series was posted a couple weeks ago. You can listen to it on the Moning Clan Podcast page, or on iTunes. It is episode three.
