Its so fun to read new to me authors and then having them become more of my auto buys and keepers! I discovered Christie Craig here and another reader too was telling me about her books! So I'm here with her book and about to start and it really is so exciting to meet them here and I often missed some with my health not letting me get on, but I would catch up reading here so I didn't miss out on anything. This is my first year with you all but I'm looking forward to more!Caffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830854922444380155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-27170166156917129982008-11-14T21:23:00.000-06:002008-11-14T21:23:00.000-06:00Happy third birthday.

There is nothing like spending the day in the sandbox with a few Cabana boys. I also enjoy the guest interviews, because I learn a little about some of the authors.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924888528166831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-3034576391385988692008-11-14T18:41:00.000-06:002008-11-14T18:41:00.000-06:00Happy 3rd!

Invented at our first birthday celebration, it's a mixture of sparkling granny smith apple juice and champagne. Tart, light and bubbly, it's the perfect drink to celebrate our momentus occasions.

I was up until midnight writing, and then I thought it was a good place to stop so I went to bed.<BR/><BR/>And tossed and turned and tossed and turned because my mind wouldn't shut off. Which is actually a good thing in some respects because it means the story is taking hold now. I love that feeling! But not the lack of sleep.<BR/><BR/>Well, what I loved when I first came to the blog was that y'all were in North Alabama. I was moving from Hawaii and the info and general chattiness made me feel like I wasn't leaving paradise to head for Hickstown, USA.<BR/><BR/>I didn't know what to expect, of course, but reading the blog made it seem not so scary. And now I looooove this town I live in and wouldn't trade it for Hawaii (though I'd love a condo in HI -- can I get a booyah?).<BR/><BR/>Mostly, I like popping over and knowing I'll see friends. Interviews are fine, but I like general every day stuff best. That's just me!<BR/><BR/>Now pass the chocolate martinis!Lynn Raye Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823590040842807378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-91501346663147985952008-11-14T10:39:00.000-06:002008-11-14T10:39:00.000-06:00I raise my glass to each of you in celebration of ...I raise my glass to each of you in celebration of your 3rd birthday.

And I'll take a massage too please. Full body for two hours.<BR/><BR/>If Angel hadn't pointed out PC's boo-boo, I would have. I was envisioning her standing up and using her sign language. Has anyone seen "Smoke on the Mountain" where one character does sign language but it's not real? No offense to the hearing impaired, but it's sorta like the sign language version of the malapropism.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we love having you guys drop by our little corner of cyberspace and share with us. My circle of friends has grown by leaps and bounds over the past three years.<BR/><BR/>Gotta go wash the sleepies outta my eyes and put on some clothes, pull something out of the freezer to thaw and then hit the story again.<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-36792303837488270972008-11-14T09:51:00.000-06:002008-11-14T09:51:00.000-06:00Put up the Captain Jack signal and she will come! ...Put up the Captain Jack signal and she will come! ;)<BR/><BR/>I love the playground and my life has been forever changed by every one of the playfriends.

I also check the website periodically. You never know who might be changing in the locker room! :D <BR/><BR/>Oh, and a special event for me personally was being picked for a guest blogger day while you girls were whooping it up in San Fran. It was a lot of fun and I didn't miss not going to Nationals quite as much. <BR/><BR/>Happy 3rd anniversary!<BR/><BR/>Ok, back to business..uh..partying. :D Strawberries are breakfast food too.
