Thirteen Things I Know For Sure
1. I know for sure that if you read enough Thursday Thirteen lists, you will be unable to resist doing one yourself.
2. I know for sure that as much as I love George Clooney, he is *not* the Sexiest Man Alive. That title really belongs to this guy.
3. I know for sure that I am not procrastinating on making that first big cut into my current WIP. I'm just warming up the keyboard.
4. I know for sure that there is a special pit in hell reserved for the spammers who are clogging my in box with "hi it's (insert name here)" messages. May you each burn slowly and painfully. Forever. Amen.
5. I know for sure that 3 months of 16+ hour days chained to a desk results in fright-wig hair (good lord, those roots!), fried retinas, and an ass the size of Texas.
6. I know for sure that my husband loves me, because in spite of #5, he's never recoiled in horror. Trust me, I've given him plenty of cause!
7. I know for sure that whatever they put in cat treats is a highly addictive substance. To cats, I mean. Not to me. I can take them or leave them.
8. I know for sure that I am living my dream. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd still continue writing. I love it that much. How many people can say that about their job?
9. I know for sure that each day is a gift, and the life I'm living is heaven on earth. Would that time didn't fly by so quickly.
10. I know for sure that I will never be able to read all of the books currently stacked two rows deep on my book shelves. Or all the ones in storage bins in the garage. Or all the ones I intend to keep on buying month after month as long as cash and Citibank will allow.
11. I know for sure that, barring a miracle on the Total Gym these next few weeks, I will not be bikini-ready in time for my vacation next month. Sigh. Guess I'll just have to console myself with pina coladas once I get there.
12. I know for sure that the only movie I'll go to the theater to see this year will be the new James Bond "Casino Royale." Oh, Daniel Craig, how I wronged ye! Until I saw the trailer a few weeks ago, I was convinced you were all wrong for the role. But you--and your hot baby blue swimsuit--have shown me the error of my ways. Mrrowwrrr!
13a. Finally! I know for sure that it is damn hard to come up with thirteen things for one of these lists. (But more fun than tackling this morning's ms revisions.)
13b. I know for sure that I will be changing the color scheme of my TT next time around. This green is harsh! Sorry about that.

This was my favorite, lolol
George Clooney is pretty sexy, though.

Hey, why are you laughing at that one, Angie? Do you doubt my sincerity?! :-P
And George . . . yes, he's sexy all right, and the first time PEOPLE voted him SMA I totally agreed. But since he never returns my phone calls or answers my emails, I guess I'm rather over him. :->

Sitting at a computer endless hours a day is NOT good for one's physique.
My husband still loves my ass, too *g*
I think he's old and blind ;-)

I think I'll be going to watch Casino Royale too, and I thought that it was just WRONG that Bond was going to be a blonde.
Then I saw the trailer when I went to catch The Prestige (Must-watch!). Ooh la la!
Happy First TT Lara!

Jaci -- Old, blind, beer-goggled . . . whatever works! ;-)
Alison -- Way to send me scrambling to update my Netflix queue! ::bumps MUNICH to the top:: Oh, wait . . . not nekkid Daniel Craig? Sigh.
May -- Same here! Blond Bond? Don't think so! But I loved DC in LAYERCAKE (have you seen it?) and then came the CASINO ROYALE trailer . . . Ohhh, yeah. Although he's not the suave, classically handsome type, I think he'll give the Bond franchise a verra nice jolt of adrenaline!

I love spammers. They're a great source of character names.
And I think Daniel Craig will make a great James Bond. Maybe even the best since Connery. A REAL Bond, in stead of the cartoon he has become.

Colleen -- You are mostly to blame for my foray into Thursday Thirteen'ing. You and your bloody cool blog toys! ;-P
MG -- Welcome to my blog! And LOL on the enlargement offers. The sad thing is, someone, somewhere, must be clicking on those offers or I doubt we'd see so many of them!
Rob -- Hi and welcome! I totally have to gush about your blog now. I've been reading (okay, devouring) your Anatomy of a Book Deal for months. It's a regular stop on my blog rounds! Cannot wait for KISS HER GOODBYE next year. I know that book is going to fly out of the stores! And yeah . . . I think Daniel Craig as Bond is going to make a lot of people eat their words. Myself included. :)
