Two More Weeks...

Actually if you don’t count today it’s thirteen days before my white clothes and most importantly, white shoes must retire to the back of the closet.

Yes, I live in the south and yes, people will wear white year round. Me? Not so much. I grew up with the, you-never-wear-white until Easter Sunday morning. You then wore white through the summer until Labor Day.

What am I wearing today? White Capri’s, red and white top, and white sandals.

This doesn’t mean that I’ll never break down, because the white pants can happen once in a while, they’re usually more of an eggshell white though.

Does this make me weird or old? I’m not sure. People don’t feel the same way about those types of “rules” anymore. So should I say, screw it, I’m wearing my cute white sandals and any other white outfit I want to? Maybe even wearing it a week or two after Labor Day?

Hmmm…probably not. I’d hear my mother in the back of my mind reminding she raised me better than that. I don’t know about you, but I not so fond of the mother guilt of any sort running a muck in my brain.

So, what about you? Do you wear white anytime of the year? Or are you like me and put it away once Labor Day passes? And really, who decided it was Labor Day as the end of the season anyway?

Chocolate Bunny Highs and the Newsletter Contest Winner

It’s time for a ramble from V. Way busy weekend and sitting down to write the blog, vision of…well, read on, you’ll get it. :)

Oh yeah, chocolate bunny’s galore for Easter. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some drive little sporty cars, while others smile demurely, holding a painted flower bouquet.

They still melt in your mouth and give you that close your eyes, mmmm sigh.

Being writer’s its only natural for us to gravitate toward to the chocolate bunnies. We really do eat chocolate. :) No matter how hard we try, we find ourselves winding through the isle with thoughts of, I’ll just look real quick. Or I’ve got to make the baskets, why not pick up one extra bunny. Have you seen the one with the really really long ears? Chocolate goodness to savor for days.

Which made me think about our hero’s. They come from different walks of life, some drive sporty cars, some ride horses, some are surgeons…Okay, sounds like doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief, from back in the childhood days.

The thing is no matter what they look like, what they drive, or what they do for a living, there is one common thread.

They’re all yummy. Maybe he’s not in the beginning or maybe he is right from the start. Either way, by the time you finish the book, you’ve hopefully had lots of mmmm and sigh moments with your hero. He’s the yummy.
