Making my own bookmarks

So, to cut down on costs of the all expensive promo stuff, I've decided to make my own bookmarks. No...wait. Let me go back. I don't want to always write about my writing. That's kind of boring. Let me start the day off as I started it off. I woke up, my husband, who is my alpha male, was very mad that I woke him up at 9 on his day off. Next, I sat down to write. I only got a couple thousands words out, but i finished the chapter while listening to Theory of a Dead Man "Bad Girlfriend." It's sorta of my anthem. Next, I went fishing at my little pond and cuaght four blue gill, however, I"m pretty sure there is an alligator and her babies living there. Okay, seriously, when you rent property, they should disclose there are gators in the pond.

Afterward, my husband and I went to Statesboro, of course, having to lock Ranger up, and I hate to do that. When we got to town, we went to Petsmart, my favorite place in the world. Do you know why? Chinchilla's! I've been wanting one for some time, but my husband says you have a dog, three cats and two gerbils. You cannot have a chinchilla. I, on the other hand, want two of every animal ever made, that way I can have my own ark. The problem is, I have only the same sex. Two boy gerbils, three female cats and a boy dog.

Then of course, we went to see Wolverine, which of course, begrudgedly I say I liked. Then onto Hobby Lobby. My friend Robyn said it's a great place to go, and I fell in love the moment I walked in. Whicker furniture, black wood and all kinds of crafts. My husband is an artist as well as soldier, so he didn't mind.

I picked up everything that I needed for my bookmarks, and I did a mock up tonight. It turned out alright. At least now I know what i have to do to make it look better. Anyhow, I thought I'd share with you a day in the life of Teirney. It's not too exciting, but hey, I like it.

Starting a Round Robin

So, I thought I'd have a little fun and start a round robin. If you don't know what a round robin is, it goes like this: I start a sentence or paragraph. Someone else writes a new sentence or paragraph. And so on, and so on, until it comes back to you. Ready?

Oh, no. "Spot. Come back here."

Cats Vs. Dogs

There is an all out war going on in my house! Pixie, Pumpkin and Snickers have made an allegiance. Ranger, my poor puppy, is the only one on his side. I am neutral. I call the shots as I see them. So, Ranger has finally ventured out on his own. Since he got to my house, he has stuck to my side. Now, when I am not looking, the cats are attacking. The other night, I was sitting here doing some research and promo stuff for Ivory's Addiction, and all of the sudden, there is a commotion. I look up, Ranger comes sliding into home (me) and all three of my cats are on his tail, like the infantry on a charge! LOL...poor guy. Finally, he started standing up for himself, which of course, only makes the cats madder. he barks, they swat. They swat, he chases. He chases, the claw. And around and around it goes. Pumpkin got outside recently, and I had Ranger out to use the potty. Well, here's a little of what happened. Pumpkin saw Ranger, took off. Ranger noticed the movement and gave chase. I saw Ranger, and I went after him. So around we went on the merry go round of the house, while in my night clothes mind you, raggedy old sweats and baggy t-shirt. Finally it ended with her in a tree and Ranger barking like mad. LOL. Now the cats are on the sneak attack. They hide behind curtains, covers and under the couch. When Ranger comes near, whap, he gets it across the nose. Occasionally I'll hear a loud yelp, and I know, the cats have won the battle. But something tells me Ranger will win the war. Stay tuned to find out more.
