Rain, rain, rain. I'm a bit tired of dreary skies and soggy ground. I realize the rain is needed, but come on. Do we really need THIS much?
So, let's chat about pick-me-ups. What lifts your spirits on drab days? Do you give yourself a manicure? Read a book? Perhaps you clean your house. Yes, I know that is not a way to boost your mood, but after I clean, I do feel better because my house at least looks cheerful.
Let me know what you do to perk up and I'll draw one winner from the list of comments to win a book. I'll let the winner choose the book from my very large stack:)
Hugs,
Jules

The "D" Word
I'm never one to actually {gulp} diet, but since having baby #2 and getting ready for my best friend's wedding, I really feel now is the time:).
I know this will be a hard 20 lbs to lose, but I can do it. All I have to do is take one day at a time and visualize myself in my strapless, short, tight dress my friend so graciously picked out for me to wear. Remind me to send her a thank you card. Oh, did I mention the dress is pink? You know, pale pink. The shade of pink that will show every ripply and bumb beneath. Of course she's not concerned. She's never had a baby, never gained an ounce in places she didn't like and she'll be wearing a full gown.
Ahh, but I love her anyway. Which brings me to my question. Why do we feel the need to worry about our weight? Are we concerned about our health or about how people perceive us? Obviously I'm concerned with how I will look in this miniscule dress. What about you? Why do you diet? That is...if you do.

My New Home!
Welcome! I hope you all will join me in my new home to discuss the books we love and the lives we lead.
In the upcoming months, I will have some great guests and fabulous prizes to give away.
For those who don't know me well, I write romance novels. My sweet contemporary stories are under the name Jules Bennett while my spicy tales are penned under the name Sophia Rae. I write for Samhain Publishing and The Wild Rose Press.
My current releases are: Home Again by Jules Bennett from The Wild Rose Press and A Stranger's Bed by Sophia Rae. Home Again is available from Amazon, www.thewildrosepress.com, Barnes & Noble and Borders. A Stranger's Bed is available from The Wild Rose Press only as it is a novella.
That's all for today. Check back later in the week as I announce my upcoming release and the great contest to launch it!
HUGS,
Jules:)
