Dogs are always getting all the credit for saving lives. Here's a charming story about a cat with special powers. At least, that's what I'd like to think happened.

I love sexy ads like this! Rock on, Snack Wells.

Are you Superwoman? Probably not, though at times, it feels like we need to be to get everything done. Women today have an overwhelming number of duties to perform. We’re Working Woman, Mom, Wife, Friend, Caretaker, etc. Sadly, there’s one role we don’t get to play often enough. When is the last time you were Red Hot Siren? That sexy, uninhibited woman in the slinky lingerie, tempting your lover with your feminine wiles. Probably not recently, and looking at your calendar, you don't see the chance of this persona making an appearance anytime soon.

Most of us put our sex life on the back burner. Everything else gets taken care of first. We go to work, sit at the computer at home finishing work or balancing the household budget. We grocery shop, cook meals, shuttle kids to and fro, scoop poop and clean litter. The toilets need to be scrubbed, the kitchen floor mopped, and the car taken in for an oil change. So much to do and not enough hours in the day. When we finally stop, flopped down on the bed, exhausted, we might have a few minutes to talk to our partner before one of us conks out, and the conversation is usually about the chores we have to do the next day, not about what position we’d like to try that night.

And so it goes, day after day, till we find ourselves crabby, snapping at our honey, and snarling at the dog. Stressed out and overwhelmed? You betcha! We need relief.

Any day that starts with a visit to the doctor should end with a bit of fun. Don't these look like something other than pool toys to you?

And the winner is....Linda Bass! Linda is one happy camper today. Congrats to her!


First, let's all take a moment and go Oooohhhh as we admire this beautiful picture. Then, enter Tabitha Blake's Mother's Day Blowout for a chance to win eighty ebooks. Wow! That should keep you busy for the summer. http://tabithablake.blogspot.com/?zx=9bd1492fd46d67d5

The rules of this hop say we should showcase one erotic romance book and talk about why we  love it. Of course, my first thought was to tell you about one of mine and tell you why I love it, but aside from the obvious self-promoting ploy, how can I pick a favorite?  

Instead, I will tell you about a book by one of my favorite erotic authors, Lisabet Sarai,  called Just a Spanking. These stories are just right for a quick read before bedtime. Even if you don't particularly like spanking,(which I do!) Lisabet writes with such amazing imagery, you'll jump right into each scene and enjoy it. I love her writing style! This book is not about violence, but about dominance and submission. If you want a nice intro to the spanking world, this is it. Here is the buy link:  http://www.amazon.com/Just-Spanking-Dominance-Submission-ebook/dp/B006V2W680/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336495197&sr=8-1

My giveaway for this fun event will be the winner's choice of one of my ebooks. To enter, please leave me a comment and tell me where you would like to see an erotic scene take place. On a rug in front of the fireplace? On a roller coaster? Let your imagination go crazy!

Click on the button below to go to the next blog to visit. If you haven’t registered at The Romance Reviews, clicking on the button will take you to the website to do so. The contest will start on May 10, 12:00am EST and will end on May 14, 11:59pm EST. Good luck, and have fun!

Yes, the library I love has pulled this book from their shelves. The article below brings up several good points, like why does The Complete Kama Sutra and Lolita get to stay? Because they're classics? Please, let us decide for ourselves what we find offensive.

One lizard is on the inside of the screen, one is on the outside. So near, and yet so far.

I don't like to cry in public. My face looks horrible, my makeup runs, and people don't know what to do with crying women. It makes them uncomfortable. All through my father's burial service, during much of the visit with my family, and most of the time in the airport, (aside from that moment in the bathroom stall), I held my tears.

When I arrived home, my honey informed me that our video streaming service, Nix (name changed to protect the innocent), was not working and had, in fact quit the day I left. He's fairly technology-challenged, and didn't even try to fix it, so, I fiddled around for awhile with my grief-stricken, weary brain, far past the point when I should have stopped. I talked and computer-chatted with service people at both Nix and Sang (brand name of DVD player, also changed), and encountered the usual aggravation from dealing with young technicians who are trying to be helpful, but don't really have a clear-cut answer and are only reading possible solutions from a script.  
 
Finally, I could do no more. I crawled under my desk to unplug the computer, and there, on the floor, next to my fuzzy slippers that hadn't made it to the closet for the summer, I sobbed. I cried because I couldn't fix a problem, because my dad was gone, because my heart ached. I cried for everything that was wrong in my life.

After a few moments, I got up, blew my nose and felt a sense of lightness. Tears are cathartic, crying is therapeutic. I will keep my ban on public weeping, but I do want to thank Nix and Sang for providing me with that beneficial release, a service I'm sure they are unaware they offer and would no doubt charge me extra if they knew.

Yes, my video streaming is working fine, thanks to one of the eight or so changes I implemented.  Nix and Sang usually provide me with fine service, so let me not discourage anyone from using them. Instead, my lesson today, take the opportunity to have a pity party for yourself now and then. Cry under your desk, in bed, wherever you feel safe. Life looks better from the other side.
