Friday Musings

Hot Damn It's Friday!  This week flew by so much my brain thinks its Wednesday.  Ever have one of those weeks?  Anyway, I wanted to share a few things with you that have been on my mind lately.

Friday Funny
I saw this a few months back and every time I look at it, it makes me laugh all over again. I have not yet seen Skyfall. But I will soon. :) 


The Healthy Writers Club

I signed up to participate in the healthy writers group.  I notice that when I work out, it frees my mind to focus on plotting.  Working out helps with my stress and managing life.  I use to work out for diet and managing my weight.  Now I focus on releasing my stress which helps tremendously with writing.  My typical workout is four times a week and the majority of that consists of me running about 12+ miles per week.  My vices are chips, salsa and wine.  Damn!  Oh, well.  I'm trying.  Special thanks to Shallee McArthur for creating such an awesome meme.

Neil Gaiman - Calendar of Tales


Gaiman gets the notion of connecting with readers. I love this project he's working on. Gaiman says to click here to "download a free PDF of all twelve of the stories I wrote in three days of madness."

Fred got busted on the my daughters peace bean bag and I had to laugh.  I guess it is kinda like a dog bed.

  
Be sure and stop by and visit Schatze over at Mary’s BookHounds too.

Have a great weekend.

Fred looks comfortable!
That's what I like about working out as well - I can clear my mind of everything else.

I love the James Blond photo! :) And Fred does look pretty comfy.

LOL at Daniel Craig. He's hot though so the h8ters can hate.

Gwen Gardner said...

James Blond, lol! That's funny.

I joined the Healthy Writer's Club, too, but I haven't been participating. Maybe Monday!

Fred is so cute! Our dogs are allowed on the furniture (it's all covered) - just not my pillow, lol!

Mina, I love Fred - he should pose wherever he pleases! Oh, and for petes sakes please get rid of that awful pic of MY MAN Daniel Craig. Ick!! Is that really his hair there?? Wine a vice? Never! Wine unlocks the vice of life that drags you down :)

Angela Brown said...

Had to laugh at the Blond, James Blond. The hair is just...rich!

Please don't toss a vampire plushy at me, but as much as I admire Neil Gaiman, I have yet to read something of his *ducks now*

I am however, going to rectify that very soon :-)

Fred just wants to give peace a chance, and look doggy-good while doing it :-)

Love meeting a fellow runner! I run the equivalent of a 5K, five times a week. Exercising keeps me healthy and makes it more comfortable to write all day. (I'll probably take a break soon to do some yoga.) Then, back to writing.

That James Blond pic really cracked me up laughing

mshatch said...

oh dear, I'm afraid that is NOT a flattering style for Mr. Craig, lol.

michelle said...

Ouch! That hairstyle does nothing for Mr. Craig.
Get rid of it. LOL
Fred is adorable as per usual!

I so want to curl up with Fred on that bean bag and talk smack about James Blond. And I loved the Neil Gaiman clip, shared it on fb. (: And go you for running and staying healthy! I have a weakness for chips too, and about 1000 other things, lol!

Tammy Theriault said...

Working out also clears my head.

I want to see Skyfall. I loved the first two movies with Craig.

Ciara said...

I can't do anything without a good workout. It defiantly clears the head.

Mark Murata said...

I think the wig would look better on Pierce Brosnan. Actually, that could lead to a whole alternate universe of Bonds.

Carla said...

The plugin crashed for me so have to look at it later.

Fred you are a handsome devil! You are looking regal there on your throne!

Unknown said...

Aww, your dog is so cute on that bean bag chair! You work out four times a week? Wow! I'm very impressed. :-)

Tyrean Martinson said...

Blonde . . .LOL!

Fred looks comfy comfy. There's a puppy rule at our house. If it's on the floor, it's free game.
