Lego Land and Captain America

Terry Spear and I went to Lego Land to kill some time before the movie Captain America started.
Lego land was cool but they didn't have any Darth Vader key chains left. I really want one and will have to surf ebay now. We didn't go into the back room because you had to pay and we were running short on time. The ones we did see were really cool.

So after our short Lego tour we headed over to see Captain America. I had mixed feelings about the movie. I loved Natasha. I thought she totally kicked major butt. I thought Captain America was kind of wimpy. He didn't feel very Alpha to me and he needed a gun. Also, the dark villain soldier was totally hotter.  

Did any of you see it yet? What did you think?

Haunted Hotel

Terry Spear and I stayed at the Palmer House Hotel this week. We picked it because it was supposed to be haunted and it's a beautiful hotel. We didn't see any ghosts so I added one to the picture I took.

Spring is in the air.

I’m so happy spring has finally arrived. The birds chirp, the flowers bloom, and the snow melts. This year we had an extremely cold and snowy winter. I thought spring would never get here. We do have to wait until May 26^th to plant any plants that could be damaged by the frost. Next weekend I’m planning to dig out my fairy garden furniture and scrub the old dirt from them.

What do you do to get ready for spring? What are your favorite plants?

Writing Playlist

Hi everyone,

For my first real blog post, I have decided to talk about playlists. Some writers like to write in silence and some like to listen to music. Since I fall into both categories, I thought a discussion on playlists would be interesting.
When I write to music, I have eclectic taste. It depends on my mood and what scene I’m writing. If it’s one of those not-in-the-mood writing days, I start out with the Rocky soundtrack. Pretty cheesy right? But for some reason, the music from Rocky gets me fired up and gives me a feeling that I can accomplish anything, even the impossible.

Below are some of the songs from my writing playlist. Do you have a playlist? If so, what’s on it? Thanks for visiting my blog.
