The Day After...

All my life I've wanted, just once, to say something clever without losing my train of thought. ~Robert Brault

I noticed as I logged in to blogger this morning that I lost a follower... I always wonder why... did I offend them? Bore them? Wish they would tell me.

So, this weekend was absolutely crazy. I was chained to my computer during our 12-hour, two-day chats. We hosted more than fifty authors on the three sites, and all things considered, it went really well. Thousands of messages, tons of fun. Plus, I heard from several authors that their website visits jumped by a LOT (like a few hundred) during their hour.

We gave away the Nooks, we partied, and I am still in a state of exhaustion -- my hands ache, my head hurts. Wahoo! *G*

I did little else this weekend. Didn't check email, didn't read blogs, barely remembered to feed the dog. So this week I have to catch up. I'll try to get to y'all in the next few days but OY is my Google reader FULL.

In the meantime, my friend Ceri has a new release today. It's called "Best Man" and you should check it out.

And now... I'm off! Have an awesome day.

=====================

You Are Devoted

Whether your favorite object is a wedding ring, engagement ring, or other ring, you are serious about commitment. Once you've bonded with someone, that bond can't be broken. You love unconditionally. Of all the types, you are most likely to wear the exact same jewelry every day. You cherish your jewelry that much. You are old fashioned and loyal. You carry yourself with class and grace.

The Jewelry Test

Yep ... that's pretty much right.

Fall is in the Air

The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Who would think that sitting at a computer all day moderating a chat would be so exhausting? I was fried by the time 9:00 came last night! And I get to do it all over again today, lol. It was fun. It was crazy. It was busy. What a blast!

DH and DD are planning on boating today. Not much more boating weather happening up here -- it's cooling down dramatically, like someone flipped the "fall" button. Nights are down in the 40s, days will have highs in the 70s. Yesterday, I wore a sweater all day (of course, we had all our windows open and it was only 62 degrees outside, lol, but we do like our fresh air). This morning when I went outside to put the bird feeders up, I didn't get attacked by bugs ... are the mosquitoes gone? That would be a plus for certain.

In any case, my plans for today are chat moderation and website maintaining - I need to build all our pages for next week in between chatting and giving away our three eReaders (that part will be really cool).

Are you up to anything interesting?

=========================

You Are Mocha Iced Coffee

You are bold and confident. You enjoy taking risks, especially when the rewards are great. For you, there's nothing better than the taste of sweet success. You crave power. You have a dominant personality, and most people are drawn to your strengths. You are very creative and inventive. You follow your passions, and they rarely lead you astray.

What Flavor Iced Coffee Are You?

About 50/50 ... though I do like a good mocha latte.
