Q:  Blogger pet peeves? (Like when I've drafted an entire post, ready to publish it, and I see somewhere I've left out a html code...When I didn't even do my post in html) - Suggested by Take Me Away  

A: I can't seem to get ahead. I try my best to get posts scheduled ahead of time so I'm not stressing about them last minute, but I can't seem to get that to happen! Argh!! I've also decided to try doing less promo posts and more original posts. With all the promo posts I do, it leaves me little time to write up original posts. 

Do you have any blogging pet peeves?

Q:  Post a photo of your favorite coffee mug (or mugs if you can't choose just one).  

A: Here's mine! I wanted to show the entire mug, but the pic didn't turn out well so I took another one. It nearly looks like two different mugs! 

I'm a Trekkie and bought this when we were on vacation in Michigan earlier this year. There are all kinds of super awesome shops near our hotel, and the one where I bought this mug also has gifts for fans of Star Wars, Doctor Who, and super heroes like Wonder Woman and Superman.   

Do you have a favorite mug? Let's see your mug shot!

I love Fridays!!

Q:  What are your favorite books of 2014 so far?  

A: There's been so many! It was so hard to narrow my list down to just a few. :P 

Gah! It was so hard to choose just a few of my faves this year, but I managed to do it, lol. What are yours?

Q:  Armchair Travel! Tell us about your favorite book in a setting you'd like to visit ( a real place for this question). 

A: One of the many places I'd love to visit is Paris, which is the setting of Frenched by Melanie Harlow. Melanie has really been there and describes it so well, I felt like I was there, too. Since I REALLY wasn't, then I want to go visit the city of love!

Q:  How important is good writing to you? In an ideal world, a book would be beautifully written AND have great character development, plot, etc. 

But in the real world, which do you prefer: 

(1) Great characters and plot with lousy writing 

or 

(2) Middling character development and plot but gorgeous writing

A: This is a really hard question to answer for me because I really want both, lol. I think if I had to choose, I'd go with option one. Even if the writing is bad, as long as I care about the characters, I think I could make it through. Characters are very important to me. 

How about you?

Q: Have any pets? Tell us or show us.  

A: Get ready for a picture parade, lol!

First came Charlie...

 

then came Charlotte...

next was Beau...

and last but not least, Billy arrived on the scene. 

A lot of Billy/Beau snuggling goes on around here. <3

Beau loves to try to walk himself!

This is the least blurry pic I could get of him. 

Nothing is more unsettling than seeing a cat paw suddenly appear under your bedroom door!

Charlie especially tries to get into our room at night, but we have to keep the door shut for the heater in the winter/air conditioner in the summer. 

Since we're talking about pets today, I have to share this sign I saw last Halloween! 

My husband and I were out with the kids trick-or-treating when I saw this sign in front of the pet grooming place. We looked at each other with WTF expressions, then we just burst out laughing! 

Seriously, though, can someone explain this to me? WTF?

Sadly, our cat Charlotte ran away back in October. She used to go in and out of our window where the air conditioner didn't cover the extra space. When it started getting cold, my husband took out the air conditioner, and Charlotte didn't come back. She would never go in and out the door, so I know that she didn't think she could get back in unless it was through the window. 

I miss her so much! I took the kids, and we'd go out looking for her all over the neighborhood. As cute as she is, I know someone probably took her in. :(

One of my fave things is seeing cute photos of other people's pets, so I'm excited to see yours if you have them! :)

Here are a couple of my preferences! :D

 

Q: Spring Break. Where would be your favorite destination spot if you could join the Spring Break festivities? 

A: I'd want to go back to Austin! It would be so cool if there was a week long Austin City Limits festival, with all of my favorite bands playing, although I don't think my poor body could take it for that long! My feet would start protesting after the first three hours on the first day. ;D

Where would you go? :D

Q: Late April Fools. What was the best prank you've played or had played on you? Share! 

A: This is so terrible, but every summer my grandma took care of me and my sister while our parents worked. I took a giant gulp of blue juice, and we pretended I was sick. Poor Grandma! We were always playing jokes on her, but she was a super great sport which is why it was so fun to play pranks on her. :D

One year I posted on Facebook we adopted a puppy (before we adopted Beau, lol), and my dad was so excited. He wanted to come over immediately. I felt so bad when I had to tell him it was an April Fool's Day joke! >.<
