Monday Musings: Cabin Fever

My sense of ridiculous is easily amused these days. I’m basically stuck indoors. I can’t watch the antics of puppies—don’t have any—which is a good thing considering the weather. No teen angst to filter since he’s elsewhere and can’t amuse me with silly tales of tragedy and comedy, otherwise known as his friend’s life choices. Shame I don’t write YA. I have enough plots to write a library of books.

And I thought adults had screwed up love lives.


I’m reduced to finding my amusements elsewhere. Today it was sorting through my junk mail folder. Aside from half the African continent sending me emails starting with the words Dearest, can I trust you (you’re kidding, right?) or Urgent response needed in a business matter (which I take to mean rapid delete), I have people confused with regard to my gender. I mean, really, you’re a new woman in town and lonely and want to chat with a hot guy like me… about life (read sex here). Last time I checked my email wasn’t listed with any sites as a hot guy looking for an easy chick. No way the picture of me looks anything like a hot guy. At least the African continent has done their research and knows I’m a woman.

Then there is the whole confusion about Viagra. I really have the wrong equipment to be flaccid and I don’t need directions for personal Viagra usage. The closest I’m going to get to rock hard is when I hold the next Olivia Cunning book in my hands.


I need a fresh source of amusement or Spring.

With a foot of snow expected starting Monday afternoon, Spring feels like it's even further away. Sigh.




So, what’s been amusing you of late?

Upcoming guests and events:

Isabel Sharpe--Turn Up The Heat, Karen Wayslowski, Darcy and Fitzwilliam.

I will be running Valentine short stories and I have some good ones, check back.
