Wednesday Ramblings and Randomness

I didn't really have anything specific to post about today, so I thought I would just throw some randomness up and out there for our readers.

First off...I bought a new car on Sunday! I was going to get something used, but when the used car prices were only a couple thousand less than new, well...I didn't need to be convinced. I got a great deal on a 2009 Honda Fit. It's the cutest thing...EVAH! Check it out:



And yes, I got the blue one! A friend of mine told me it looks like a bullet, but I think it's adorable. We've named it "Conniption." LOL!!

Secondly...who's seen the trailer for NEW MOON (Twilight saga) that opens on November 20th? I have! I have! And if you haven't...you can too, right here. Check it out!



WOW! I can't wait!

Lastly, SCUBA lessons are a blast...and hard work. I never realized how much equipment was involved! And how heavy it is! Holy cow! We strapped the regulator tanks on last night and it's so amazing to be able to breath underwater. Check me out!!



So...what are your ramblings and randomness for this Wednesday? Share them with us!

Mid-winter Writing Retreat

Well, I'm off tomorrow to meet up with my writing partners for my October non-fiction book...so I won't be around until next week. Just wanted to congratulate Heather on her book cover and Tera Lynn on her mermaid books. It's all very exciting. So much going on here at Books, Boys, Buzz.

I got tagged over on Facebook for a "25 Random Things About Me," so I thought I would respond here and tag all of our readers for whoever want to weigh in in the comment section are welcome to...and the random thing I think is the most clever...well, I'll send you a copy of any one YA book that you'd like from one of our Buzz Girls.

Here we go...

1. I've lived in four (4) states: Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas, Alabama
2. My two kitties both have six (6) toes on their back paws.
3. I'm a self-taught gourmet chef and I probably own every ridiculous kitchen gadget there is like a mango slicer and a rasper and an apple corer.
4. I can sing "O Canada" - in English and in French.
5. I think bean sprouts are the creepiest food there is.
6. I still have all four (4) wisdom teeth.
7. I used to be a child actor in the university town I grew up in. I was in The Sound of Music, The Music Man, The King and I, Showboat, Oklahoma!, and Help! Help! The Globbalinks!
8. The first time I flew was when I was five years old and my brother and I rode in a crop-dusting plane.
9. I'm allergic to tree nuts.
10. I've met three (3) United States presidents.
11. I have a photographic memory...which would have come in handy in college had I known then. Doh!
12. Watched MTV premiere in August 1981 at my fellow cheerleader, Gwen's, house. She had a satellite!
13. Can twirl a baton.
14. My hair isn't naturally curly. = )
15. I'm the baby of my family by nine (9) years.
16. My grandpa was a master carpenter on Broadway and was nominated for a Tony Award.
17. I sleep on my stomach.
18. I saw a full-bodied apparition at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado back in November. It was...amazing. Total chill bumps and tears when I realized what it was.
19. I still listen to my favorite 80s artists just like they're still on the radio: Rick Springfield, Hall and Oates, Journey, Billy Joel.
20. Has sat in the chair of the Speaker of the House.
21. I'm a cancer survivor.
22. I could eat clam chowder for every meal.
23. I'm addicted to online Sudoku...up to the "hard" level.
24. I Google myself. (LOL!)
25. Think that chocolate chip cookie dough is actually better than the baked cookies.

There you have it...25 random things about me. Now it's your turn!!
