Have a Fabulous Day Today!



This week has gone by semi-fast. Now, that my BFF will be out of town for the rest of the week, I'm sure time will slow down and drag. LOL!

Monday Jack and I went out to eat and to a piano bar afterward. Now, I like to cook, but I LOVE eating out! There's no mess to clean up and I get to eat things I normally don't cook. I'm more of a Southern style Cook. So, when Jack says "Honey, lets go eat Mexican." I'm game.

The Piano bar was fun. There wasn't much of a crowd, and the music was fab. Jack and I felt comfortable enough to be affectionate there, and that's always nice. It's really good to be able to hold his hand, or give him a sweet kiss. We don't always feel safe to do that and the few people at the bar could have cared less, so that made our experience better.

I made Chicken and Dumplings last night, along with Mac and Cheese. After we ate we read Another Dream by Addison Albright, watched Dancing with the Stars. (Yes...I admit it's the ONE show I adore to watch) and had a fabulous time just hanging around each other. You would think after all of these years together, we wouldn't have anything to talk about, or get tired of each other, but for us it's just not the case. I love him now more than I did all those years ago. Maybe that's what true love is about. As you get to know your mate or even your friends, the love you have for them grows as time goes by...at least I think it does.

Today is the first day of Shawn's Vacation. GO HER for pampering herself and doing something for HER for a change! I miss her like crazy, but I'm happy she's treating herself.

I want all of my friends to have a fabulous day today! In honor of my BFF and as a treat for all of us, I give you more eye candy of Ashtyn Long. YUM! He'll be gracing my post all week. If we can't have Shawn, we'll at least get to drool over Ashtyn instead!

MUAH!

Shawn's Barnaby and Lily's Meme



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Since I have no idea who MIZB is, but I do know our lovely Lil and she encouraged everyone to play along, I thought I would do this one for fun! Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

MY TEASER WILL COME FROM THE BOOK "TALK DIRTY TO ME" BY JACK GREENE



As usual I'm an overachiever...imagine that! I picked paragraphs instead of just a sentence. LOL.

From Page 16

It was him. Casey. The beautiful man from the website. It had to be. He’d
never seen a man so perfect. His hair was tied back in a ponytail, but it was long,
past his shoulders. His cheekbones were amazing, his eyes big and expressive,
and rimmed with just a hint of black eyeliner. His lips were full and glossy. He
was slender and feminine but definitely a man. He wore tight black jeans and a
snug red t-shirt. The jeans were tucked into tall black combat boots. He was
shorter than Adam by a couple of inches. He looked Adam up and down.


From Page 20


Adam panted now, and slowly he brought his hands up, one settling on
Casey’s hip and the other at the back of his neck. He drew Casey’s slender form
against him gently, then leaned in to kiss him. Casey met him halfway, and
Adam felt the soft sigh of his breath before their lips touched.

Um...yeah, I'll be reading that book today. Casey sounds delicious! Bet Handsome will want to read this one too! Speaking of sexy heroes, OMG! I adored Shawn's Barnaby! As I told Shawn, Kevin will always be my favorite of hers that she's written, but Barnaby is almost as adorable and sexy. YUM! Of course, thinking of Barnaby I immediately think of Shawn's Ashtyn (I can't wait to read her interview with him!) and I thought I would post a picture of him today and probably tomorrow. Really the man is quite yummy! The picture I posted looks exactly how I pictured Shawn's Barnaby to be. Those of you who've read it...what do you think?

If you haven't read Only for Him, I encourage you to stop what you're reading and treat yourself to a truly fabulous story!

Have a fabulous day my friends! MUAH!

Simply Fabulous


Today I'm just sending a quick post to let you all know that I got a clean bill of health from my doctor today. I want to thank all of my friends who have kept me in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy and safe recovery.

You all are simply fabulous! MUAH!

I'm actually getting to go out tonight. We're visiting Jack's sister so I'll actually get to see something beside the interior of my house or doctor's office. GO ME!

I love Adam Ant. I used to have a major crush on him and I still love his music. Since he makes me happy, I thought I would post him on my blog. He really was damn SEXY!

I will post more later when I have more time. I just wanted to thank you all for everything. *Hugs*


One quick special note to my BFF: I love you.

I suck at lying


Well, that settles it. I officially suck at lying!

1. I was once a drag queen at a bar in Dallas. No, I've never been a drag queen.

2. I have a very close relationship with my family. Nope and it's a Long sordid story that I don't want to get into.

3. At nineteen, I won tickets to see Madonna's True Blue concert for being lucky caller number 5. No. I DID go see Madonna's True Blue concert in Dallas, but I paid my hard earned money to see her.

4. I get very anxious when I'm in large crowds and have been known to have panic attacks. This is true.

5. I dressed up as the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz at a Halloween Party this year. No. I dressed up as Dorothy

6. I have three worthless dogs whom I love dearly. NO.I have TWO worthless dogs I love dearly

7. Jack and I have been together for a little over 14 years. No. We've been together for 13 years.

8. I am over six and a half feet tall. LOL. I'm not even going there.

9. I suffer from chronic insomnia. Yes and it sucks

10. I have a fetish for long hair. DUH!

11. Other than Handsome Jack, my very best friend in the world is Shawn Lane.
I figured 10 and 11 were my give a ways...little did I know my friends knew me better than I thought.

Don't forget to enter Shawn's contest this week! Her Only series is going to be fabulous!

Hmm...how much do you know about the mysterious Shayne???

2. I have a very close relationship with my family.

3. At nineteen, I won tickets to see Madonna's True Blue concert for being lucky caller number 5.

What a week we've had!



This has been an interesting week!

Jack has been sick, but as of this morning is feeling much better and will be returning to work. GO HIM! I think he's been getting stir crazy staying in bed, but I WILL share that he enjoys the constant hovering he's received by me. LOL!

Our Ava March's Vampire/Historical book, From Afar, was released yesterday. Jack and I have bought our copy and we are both very excited to read it! We plan on indulging with Ms. Ava's sexy romance this weekend. Congrats to MS. Ava on what's sure to be a very successful series and new release!



I've just read that Eyre's BFF's sister-in-law's, niece (Eyre I hope I got that right) is having a radical surgery done to help her with seizures. Lets keep this brave young lady in our good thoughts. Hopefully, our Eyre will keep us all informed of her progress.

Now... LAST but NOT LEAST, The Fabulous Shawn Lane has a new friend, Ashtyn Long. (Can you say YUM?) He's found out that we've all been perving on him, and that the fabulous Shawn Lane has based a hero on him and he's apparently tickled about it. GO SHAWN! She is going to get to interview this very bright and gorgeous young man in March, and being the gracious and fabulous person she is, she's allowing us to all participate by coming up with some interesting questions to ask him. Apparently, he's cool enough to answer almost anything, and I don't know about YOU...but I'm thinking of questions to ask him as we speak!

Here we are on Wednesday and the week has been a very interesting one so far! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Have a fabulous week! MUAH!

I've been keeping Kleenex tissues in business


No matter what you have read from Shawn Lane's post, I have to confess...I gave her my cold. I kept breathing on her, and voila, now she's sick. Sigh...*cough*

I've been under the weather for about a week now. Colds always hold onto me forever, but then again all illness do. I guess I'm just one of the unlucky ones. LOL

Jack's been doing good. He went to a Superbowl party *shudder* and I got to stay home and chat with my BFF, so that started my week off on a fabulous note.

One thing about being sick is being pampered. Jack's provided me with everything from tissues, cough medicine to take out. But, as I was telling Angel Face, it sucks that I can't taste it.

I wanted to take a few minutes to let all of you I'm still alive, I just look like Rudolph, and my hair has seen better days. I looked in the mirror a minute ago and almost scared myself! It's a wonder the worthless dogs haven't run from me in fear!LOL!

Be safe everyone! MUAH!

TGIF!


I don't know about everyone else, but I am very happy that the weekend is almost here. Tonight Jack and I have Movie and Game night with some friends instead of our normal date night we have on Fridays. I'm a little disappointed because I really enjoy our dates, but it will be nice hanging around and playing games tonight, too.

I think we might keep the kids on Saturday. We went to Jack's sister's house last night and they were really begging to come over. We still haven't decided if they will or not. I wouldn't mind putting it off for until next weekend. I would like to have a lazy weekend of being with Jack, reading, talking to my BFF, watching movies and playing with our worthless dogs. No pressure. Just a relaxing good time.

I think I'm getting lazy in my old age! LOL!

I hope all of my friends have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Hump Day!


Since everyone has posted some fabulous eye candy (thank you Shawn, Shell Bell and Ava) I thought I needed to share some too. YUM!

Not a lot has happened, which is a good thing. Jack's been busy at work and I've been cooking and baking like the crazy man I am!

Jack and I will be attending a Movie and Game night, Friday night. Otherwise, I think we'll be chillin' at home. I'm happy about that because I'm ready to just stay home, watch movies, eat junk food and relax with my long haired beauty. (Shawn's not allowed to have scissors anywhere near me or Jack) LOL!

Hope everyone has a fabulous day today!

Shawn Lane is a Big Tease!


My BFF Shawn Lane has been a big tease to all of us this week! She's writing a fabulous new book with a character named Barnaby whom she is totally in love with!! She's been posting these pictures of this young man named Ashtyn Long who she says is the inspiration to her character Barnaby. I think I can safely say we have all been drooling over this sexy looking young man. So in celebration of my Angel Face typing her big beautiful heart out for our reading pleasure, I present one more picture of Ashtyn (Barnaby) for our viewing pleasure.
I know I can't wait to meet him! YUM is right!

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year my fabulous friends! Jack and I rang in the New Year at home. We had gone over to some friends house on New Years Eve, but wanted to ring it in alone together. It was perfect.

Jack is whisking me away for a few days to celebrate the New Year and my birthday. That's right, I'm 29 and holding! I have no idea where we are going because he's being super secret about it, but don't fret, as soon as we return, you will be (after my Shawn of course) the second ones to know what we did and where we went.

HAVE A SAFE AND FABULOUS NEW YEAR!

The picture I picked is dedicated to my Sweet Shawn. WE ALL KNOW YOU LOVE YOUR JOCKS...ESPECIALLY FOOTBALL JOCKS! MUAH!

Love you all! Talk with you soon!

I would have continued reading the series if...


Not too long ago, Shawn and I were talking about how we envisioned some of the heroes in movies and in books, should be with paired up with their sidekick, or male counterpart instead of the heroine.
She emailed me a painting of Captain Kirk and Spock together in this heated embrace.

Earlier, I was looking through images of gay couples when I came across this one starring Hatty Potter. I liked it so much, I decided IF Harry had a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend, then I might have continued to read the series! LOL! I think they look kind of sweet actually, in a young love-teenaged sort of way.

Tonight Jack and I are going to meet some of our Movie and Game night friends for supper. I'm anxious to see some Christmas Lights as we go to and from the restaurant!

Hope everyone else has a fabulous day!

Our Christmas Tree


I thought I would post the Christmas Tree Jack and I decorated. Just kidding! This is actually a tree that my Beautiful BFF saw and took a picture off. Isn't it huge? Can you imagine putting the lights on that bad boy? I'm afraid our tree is much more modest than this one!

Our tree is in between Charlie Brown's and Clark Griswalds. LOL! We do the multi-colored lights and we have tons of decorations we put on it. I bought some really fabulous peppermint lights I put on it from QVC (yes I love the Q) and it makes our tree fabulously unique.

Isn't it funny how soothing a Christmas Tree is? It's not unusual for me to get lost in thought while looking at our tree. I don't know how many times I've watched our tree and it's twinkling lights and fallen asleep. They're totally mesmerizing!

Jack and I always argue about when to take the tree down. I always take it down on January 2nd. Jack thinks it should be taken down before the New Year. I usually win this argument because I'm the one who takes it down. GO ME! LOL!

I've heard of many people taking it down the day after Christmas. That's very practical. I think I'm just too attached to it to take it down so soon! When do you take your tree down? What does your tree look like? What do you like best about your tree?

Thank you for being Fabulous!


Jack and I had a busy holiday. I spent two days cooking. I don't think I left the kitchen unless it was to let the dogs out or to take a quick bathroom break. Lucky for us, I love to cook! But, by the time I was finished baking pies, casseroles and so on, I can honestly say I was over it!

This is the first year Jack and I had Thanksgiving at our home by ourselves. In the past, we've gone over to his families house, but this year we decided to start our own Thanksgiving Tradition. I have to say that I really enjoyed it.

We still went over to some of our friends house and celebrated a belated Thanksgiving with them. Instead of a big meal, we had dessert and coffee. (tea for me) It was nice to just sit and visit for a while.

Jack wrote a very sweet post on what he is thankful for. There is no way I can be as eloquent as he is, but I will say this year has been a year of ups and downs. It's amazing how much things have changed in our lives just from a year ago. We've had family move away, illness, conflict and other crazy things happen this year. But, we've also had some fabulous things happen this year, too.

Jack and I have formed a stronger bond between us. We've had some trying times, but we have worked through them and come out better and happier than before. Jack has proven time and time again how much he will always be there for me, whether it's good or bad times, he's always supportive and loving. I couldn't ask for a better life partner. We are very lucky to have each other.

When Jack convinced me to join goodreads last year, I admit I was hesitant to do so. Basically, I'm a pretty private person. I've had bad experiences with people in general, just like many other people have. I had no idea by joining a book/reading site that I would become acquainted with and become friends with several of you. I am very thankful for that.

The best surprise was I met my best friend at goodreads! I NEVER in a million years would have thought I would find my kindred spirit there. Shawn has brought many things into my life in which I am most grateful for. She has been my voice of reason and has enabled me to learn to trust again. I will always be thankful for that.

So in hindsight, in many ways this year has been one of the best years I've had in a long time.

So, between Jack, Shawn and my friends online here, thank you for being there for me (us) this year.

Simply put...Thank you for being FABULOUS!

M/M Questions Answered...The Next Victim is My Friend, Eyre!



Damn you, Andi! I knew I wasn’t getting out of this one! LOL!

Rules:

1. Answer all the questions below in either the comments here or post it on your own site. If you post it on your own site, you have to come back and give the link here so I/Kris can mosey on over there and see if you have a Sticky Beak.

2. You have to tag two people once your done and pester them relentlessly until they do the meme too.

3. Instead of the Meme image thing you have to post a cookie, preferably a twofer. It is a M/M meme after all:)


*Rubs hands together with Glee*


************************************************************************************


QUESTIONS:


1. How long have you been reading GLBTQ fiction? Reading has always been an important outlet in my life. I’ve been reading a variety of genres, GLBT fiction has been one of them I’ve been reading forever.

2. What was the first book you read in this genre? I really don’t remember. One of the first books I read that I liked was With Love by J.L. Langley.

3. Are you out as a reader? We are. Jack and I talk about what we are reading to our friends and family.

4. Ebooks, Print or Both? Both. I prefer ebooks to paperbacks, but we still read paperbacks too.

5. Do you buy directly from the publisher or secondary seller? We buy directly from the publisher.

6. Prove your a book slut. How many books would you say you buy a week? I’m not a book slut. LOL. We read a couple of books a week if we are lucky. Since we read together this takes longer than the average reader because we also discuss what we read as we go along. There are some books we read on our own, too. This still does not qualify me as a book slut. Damn it!

7. Are you a cover, blurb or excerpt buyer? Like everyone else, I simply adore a gorgeous cover. We honestly buy books because of what our friends say about it, or if it is an author that is a favorite of ours. We don’t ‘blind buy’ very much.

8. Yeah, you read reviews, but do you actually take notice of them? I love to read reviews on Goodreads. I don’t necessarily trust the professional review as much. For one thing, I don’t know them, so their opinion doesn’t mean much to me. On Goodreads, there are several people Jack and I trust when it comes to reviews and recommendations.

9. Who's your favorite publisher? Amber Allure from Amber Quill Press

10. What about authors? Your top two only!! That’s so easy! Those who know me know my favorite author is Shawn Lane. Not only is she a very versatile writer, her character’s are interesting and beautifully flawed. I love them! It’s harder to pick my second favorite author because I really like so many. Probably JL Langley.

11. Is there a sub/genre you particularly dislike? I’m not into the BDSM themed books too much. I do like some of Sean Michael’s books with this theme, but not many. I’m not into the Science Fiction thing either.

12. Short or long? *rolls eyes* And no I'm not talking about cocks! I really liked Andi’s answer on this. I think it depends on the author. As a rule, I think I prefer shorter novels.

13. Is there anything that turns you off about m/m or is it all glorious smut to you? Menage based romances, fisting and I don’t like any kind of humiliation some BDSM themed books get off on.

14. Finish this sentence. You know it's M/M two wuv when...he gives over the remote control. LOL!

15. What theme are you heartily sick of in M/M Romances? I HATE MENAGES. I really wish they would just go away.

16. If you could choose any 3 characters for a M/M/M who would they be? *sigh* Must I? If I have to pick I would say: Tyler Curtis (Alec Tyler) from The Curtis Reincarnation, Hell from Heaven Sent Hell and Kevin from Car Wash.

17. What new GLBTQ new release are you most hanging out for right now? My BFF, Shawn Lane has two books coming out in December that I am anxious to read. They’re called Ticket to Ride and The Best Gift. I’ve been hearing about them forever, so I’m ready to read them! We are looking forward to read Andi's book that comes out in December, too.

18. What new GLBTQ book has completely blown you away this year? I loved Car Wash by Shawn Lane. Kevin really is quite delicious! YUM YUM YUM! I also read and loved The Elegant Corpse by A.M Riley, Without Reservations by JL Langley and the Curtis Reincarnation by Zathyn Priest. One of my all time favorite books is Perfect Man by Shawn Lane. Alex and Craig's story will always have a very special place in my heart.

19. What do you think well see more of M/M romance in 2010? Beats the hell out of me! It would be nice to see it become not as taboo to read as it is right now. A lot of people are embarrassed to admit they read romance, so I know people being proud to admit they read GAY romances is out of the question!

20. Don't you agree that Josh Lanyon should just kill off arsehole character Jake Riordan? Nah. Even assholes need love too! LOL.

I’m going to break the rule and just pick one person to do this. I have one other person left I can pick that I follow and actively talk too. I’m actually pretty surprised she hasn’t been picked yet!

Have Fun, Eyre! http://eyre32.wordpress.com

I'm Having Withdrawals


I should be resting. I know I'll probably get into trouble for blogging instead of doing as I should, but I thought I would take my chances and say a few words anyway.
This has been an interesting month for Jack and I. Just when we think things are starting to smooth out, both of us have gotten the flu. Grr!

I've been sick for about nine days now. Fever, upset stomach, cough, sore throat and sniffles have been on the agenda at our place.
The really bad thing is I've had to cut down on some of my favorite treats. Sweets aren't good for an upset stomach. I haven't had a Starburst in over a week! Talk about Hell on Earth! Grr! I swear I'm having withdrawals, but Jack and Shawn swear to me that I'll survive. I'M NOT SO SURE!!!!

Lucky for us, we've had some good friends who will leave us food at our doorstep so we are being taken care of. Jack is starting to feel better, but I'm still sick. Of course, I've always been the puny one between the two of us. Damn it.

On the bright side, my Dear Sweet Shawn Lane is posting free updates on some of our favorite heroes that she has written about in the past. This week is Jake and Damian's turn from Jake's Regret. She's posted two of the three installments about them and so far it's been fabulous. If you haven't read Damian's feast check it out here:

http://smlgr8.blogspot.com

I don't know about everyone else, but I simply adore it when we get to read how our favorite characters are doing after everything is said and done. It's always fun to glance into their lives long after their story is over, even if it is a quick. (Hey quickies can be VERY good! :-)

I hope everyone is safe and stays healthy for this upcoming holiday season. I've got to go drown myself by drinking more Mint Tea and some gag worthy Theraflu is in the near future for me. Yum. NOT!

I've been bad


It's been a while since I've blogged. I've had numerous complaints from several of you, because I've been neglecting my time honored duty of blogging at least a few times a week! I'm sorry my friends. I promise to try to do better. :-D

Here's a little Eye Candy as an apology to my friends...isn't he fabulous?!

To be honest, these past couple of months have been hard. I've noticed that it's just not Jack and I that's had a difficult summer. Many of our friends are having troubles this year. I don't know about you, and I know it's only September, but I'm ready for this year to be over. I'm ready to start fresh.

I had pneumonia for over a month. I was beginning to think it was going to be a permanent affliction there for a while, but luckily with Jack's nurturing and Shawn's constant pep talks and hovering, I got over it! Thank God, for them. They are always my truest and most devoted fans. It's good to have someone always on your side, even when things aren't always going the way you want.

Jack and I are planning on moving to Dallas next year. We're both very excited about this. It will be good to reconnect with some old friends, and be return to the place where we really belong.

Thanks for hanging in there with me these past few months my friends. I really promise I'll do better at keeping y'all informed.

Your Friend,

Shayne

It's Been A Very Long Month


So, it's been a month of Sunday's since I've posted anything. I didn't mean to go this long between posts, but I haven't felt up to it.
For the past several weeks, I've been sick. It started out as bronchitis, and it progressed to pneumonia. So, I've been quarantined to the bed or couch, and was told to do as little as possible.

Some day's it's taken a lot for me to even get online because of the little energy I've had. But, I feel better now. I have a Doctor's appointment next week, and I know he'll be telling me that I am on my way to being fabulously healthy once again.

Jack's been a trooper throughout all of this. He doesn't cook, so I've had more than my share of sandwiches and soup out of a can. But, he's brought home some really good take-out, and has hovered over me like a good partner should. He has even, are you ready for this, put dishes in the dishwasher, emptied the dishwasher, did the laundry, swiffered the house and gave the dogs a bath! I KNOW he's ready for me to get back on my feet again. I can tell every time he grumbles as he is doing household chores.

I tease him about it of course just like he deserves!

Today some of our friends are having a Movie and Game night tonight. I've insisted that he go and have some fun tonight. After some persuading, he's agreed to go, although he is reluctant to leave me behind. I told him he needed to have some fun and just be Jack for a while, instead of nursemaid to his partner.

The good thing about him being gone is I'll have total control of the television and computer. GO ME! Unfortunately, there is never anything on television on Saturday night, so I bet I curl up with a book instead. Shawn Lane's new book is being released this weekend, plus Ava March's book was released this week, too! So many fabulous books to read, so little time!

Other than Jack, there has been one other person that is always there for me. She's been my sunshine when I've had some very dark days. I never knew I would be so lucky and blessed to have such a sweet and fabulous friend (sister) in my life. Thank you for being you, Gorgeous, you know I love you. MUAH!

I hope my friends here have a safe and FABULOUS weekend! To thank y'all for hanging in there with me, I thought I would provide some delicious eye candy as well!

Your Friend,

Shayne

Pamper Yourself


Good Morning My Friends!

Jack and I will be leaving in a hour or so, and I wanted to wish all of you a very safe and happy weekend.

Do something for you this weekend. Go do something you love... whether it's reading, going for a walk, relaxing to music or even taking a well deserved nap! We all try so hard to look out for other people's happiness, and in the process we neglect our own needs. Pamper yourself, even if it's just for a hour!

This means you too, Shawn!

I loved the answers to the 31 questions! It's so fabulous to learn about each other, isn't it? We learned that Ava is picky about what she eats, Shawn has handwriting that only a handwriting analyst can love and Shellie can play the piano. Thanks for answering them. It was fun. Maybe we'll get more responses out of some of my other friends on here, too.

Have a FABULOUS weekend everyone!

Your Friend,

Shayne

Just for Fun


Today Jack got one of those "Getting to know you" emails from a friend. I watched him fill it out, and thought it might be fun to do it on my blog. You can copy and paste it, and change the answers to make them your own. If not, now you know more about me than you probably actually wanted too! LOL

Jack and I will be going on a mini vacation this weekend. May everyone be safe and have a very happy weekend.




1. What is your first name? Shayne

2. Are you named after anyone? I don’t think so.

3. When did you last cry? A couple of days ago.

4. Do you like your handwriting? Yes, it’s quite swirly…lol

5. What is your favorite lunch meat? Smoked Turkey…YUM!
