Announcing the Hot Man, Shelly the Slacker, and Playing Tag

I’m late posting this today. Sorry, guys. I had to visit the doctor for my follow up, had to buy food, run other errands, and do some spot cleaning around the house. My family is rather helpless when it comes to certain things—food shopping and toilet scrubbing to name a few. I couldn’t possibly imagine what would happen if I were to die. What would the house end up looking like? Would Sir Poops and Hair Ball die of either dehydration or malnutrition? Would mold be the normal consumption for them (Sweetman and No-No) when I’m gone? Oh my….

So today, I name the next Hot Man of Blogs for this month. He reminds me of this guy.

Oh God! What was his name? I can’t remember. Holy schmolly! Guacamole!

Anyway, this month’s Hot Man is a teacher. A husband. And a father. I believe when he started his blog it was for the purpose of chronicling his baby son’s experiences. Poor little guy had some difficulties when he arrived into the world but he seems to be doing well now.

What I love about this is guy is his love for GOOD music and his uncanny honesty in all things.Yup. He’s truly in touch with his feelings. If he’s having a deplorable day, he’ll write about it. If he doesn’t like a book, he’ll let you know why he thought it sucked. I love this guy.

He also loves his wife and his son. He loves teaching. These are a few of the things that make him HOT!

So who is this Hottie? Brent Scott. You can find his blog at Building Castles . I hope you all go visit him. Tell him I sent you over.

Okay. On to my next issue….

SHELLY’S A SLACKER! No, really I am. I’m not much for these tag games and all the overwhelming rules that come with them. But my friend Eve Gaal over at The Desert Rocks tagged me. The only reason I can think of is because she’s trying to exercise me eye-brains.

Yup. She tagged me, and I’m it.

Since I’m a SLACKER and don’t like doing these things I’m doing it my way.

So here are my rules:

Shelly directed all her bloggy-peeps over to Eve Gaal’s blog.

Shelly will only answer five of the tag questions today saving another five for another day.

Shelly will more than likely drag this out over several blogs because she is a SLACKER and she really hates doing this stuff but she really, really loves Eve Gaal. She ‘s a sweetie-pie and it shines so in her writing.

Shelly will come up with her own questions for other tag-ees but will not name them or give her questions away yet. More than likely, Shelly will drag this one out over several blogs as well. I’m doing this kicking and screaming in a nice kind of way because I love Eve.

Eve’s Questions

1. Have you written a book? Yes. Dag-nabbit. Like three. Secondhand Shoes will soon be out. Just don’t pin me to a date yet.  My other two are patiently waiting for my return. I’ll be back. That’s what I told them.

2. Were you a participant in the famous underwear challenge of 2011? Dog-gonnit. You betcha. Well, SLACKER-SHELLY had Sir Poops and Hair Ball do it since underwear is more their thing. Especially if they can eat them. Not to mention, there’s a lot of pervs out in the world that visit this particular blog daily. I do believe I did a blog on that, titled Panty Fetishes.

3. What is your favorite children’s book? Ummmmmmmm…Pokey Little Puppy and Hansel and Gretel.

4.Tell us the last time you went to the library. Alone or with someone else? Ummmmm…like the last week in Janurary…no wait….maybe the first week in Feburary all by little lonesome.

5. Do you prefer the internet to research? What else would a slacker like me like? Right? I can sit on me arse and find whatever I need without having to get all dressed up and out of bed.

SLACKER SHELLY has had enough of this game. We will continue this at a later date.

Saturday, Sir Poops and Hair Ball will be on a cruise headed towards Mexico to seek out those thieves they saw on the news yesterday. They are in need of a vacation and I really need to post another book review. Norma Beishir’s, Chasing the Wind.

See you all later in the ink,

Shelly a/k/a SLACKER-SHELLY

Announcing, The Hot Man Today and Celebrating, Norma Beshir’s, Chasing the Wind, New Edition

First things first, I woke up late this morning. I slept like a rock through the night. This is unusual for me. My alarm didn’t wake me at 6 a.m. A neighbor's buzzing weed-whacker did at 7:30 a.m. So I began my day behind my behind.

I haven’t even read one blog today and now it’s 4:24 p.m. An invisible ball and chain is dragging behind me today sucking energy out of me, I swear.

Despite all this, it’s a good day day to announce the next Hottie for Hot Men of Blogs.

He reminds me of this guy.

No. He’s not a coward. More like a brave lion who loves his family. It’s expressed in his blog. ***sigh***sigh***

Every time I visit his blog, I see his picture and think, he’s so cute I want to pinch his cheekies.

This hottie loves his fiancé and makes no bones about it. He’s a father. He’s a city councilman (or was), a firefighter, and an EMT. According to him, he’s the biggest klutz when it comes to home repairs. He also writes a column.  And his book, Storm Chaser, came out last year. You can find my review somewhere in my archives to the right of your screen.

Anyone figured out who he is?

It’s Mark R. Hunter. You can find his blog at Slightly of the Mark .

So Mark, take this as a warning, your cheeks are pinchable. And if some strange woman grabs your cheeks after this is posted, it could be me or someone testing their pinchability.

Okay. One more thing to announce and celebrate.

My friend, Norma Beshir, has just released her new edition to Chasing the Wind.

Once upon a time she had a publisher and has been on the NYC best sellers list.  Now she’s going Indie.

So I’m here to give her a big hand and ask that you all do the same.

Product Description

Who is Connor Mackenzie? Is he the result of an experiment that should never have been undertaken...or is he the prophet foretold by an ancient text discovered in the Sinai wilderness? Around the globe, children are abducted. All of them are between the ages of five and six, all conceived by in vitro fertilization, and all extraordinarily gifted. In the Sinai, archaeologist Lynne Raven searches for proof of the Exodus and finds a papyrus proclaiming the emergence of a prophet sent to defeat the darkness that threatens to consume the world. In London, a powerful cartel manipulates politicians and industrialists and controls a think tank with an unthinkable agenda. One thing connects them all: the truth about Connor Mackenzie...
Revised, updated edition of the 2009 novel, now in multiple first-person points-of-view.
Norma Beishir is the bestselling author of fourteen previous novels. Collin Beishir is the author of the upcoming novel E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event).

You can find the new edition at Amazon for Kindle. Price .99.

Sometime this year, I’ll have a review for all to read.

That’s all for now folks! Characters are calling me, and I seriously need to drag myself out of my hole or go back to bed.

Later in the ink all,

Shelly

Who’s the Hot Guy of Hot Men of Blogs This Month?

 

 

This guys written words are totally magical. I think I’m in love.

Sometimes he writes beautiful moments about his wife and how he met her. He’s even a Harry Potter fan and so is his wife. It was Harry Potter that brought them together. In fact, their first date was to the first film or was it he proposed on that particular night. I’ve got information overload going on and going through the change as well. It all gets jumbled in my brain.

So does anyone know who I’m speaking of? I give you three seconds to mull it over.

One….

Two….

Three….

E.J. Wesley is the hot man for this month’s Hot Men of Blogs. You can find his blog here @The Open Vein. He’s even romantic when he’s giving a written lesson on self-publishing or how to pimp your blog. ***swoon***swoon*** I know I’m doe-eyed by now just thinking about him. ***sigh***sigh***

That’s all for now folks!

Oops! Wait a minute! For next month think the Cowardly Lion. Not that this hottie is a coward or anything. He looks a little like the lion from the Wizzard of Oz, and if I ever meet him in person I won’t be able to resist pinching his cheeks.

Now, that’s all folks!

I’ll be posting something for your viewing or reading pleasure on Sunday. Not unless Hair Ball successfully got his butt typing done. I caught him last night pawing on the keyboards and then he sat on them when he figured out I was watching. Crazy little, fur person.

See you all later in the ink,

Shelly

P.S. Happy New Years! I hope all our writely dreams come true.

Hot Men Of Blogs Coming Soon

 

This will be a monthly post spotlighting the men who’s words make my heart pitter-patter, my stomach fill up with butterflies, and give me a tingly feeling. The last day of every month I’ll name a Hot Man.

If you know any, leave their linky in the comment box.

On November 30, 2011, I’ll share the first Hot Man. His alter-ego is the Sparkly dude above. That’s the only clue I’ll give.

Stay tuned. Be there or be square.

That’s all for now folks!

See you all later in the ink,

Shelly’s Hosting a Blogfest and Other Stuff

Well guys, I’ve decided to have a blogfest. However, I haven’t a clue how to make cute little pictures with dates on them so I’ll be doing it the primitive way. If you wish to spread the word just paste this blog’s link onto your page somehow. Don’t ask me how, I’m still figuring out all this stuff.

Okay. The title for this event: CRAZY ALTERNATE REALITY BLOGFEST 11-3-11. I hope I made it big enough for you all to see. It’s one day only. Up to a 100 words. Fiction. Non-fiction. Even flash fiction. That’s doable, right? I hope so.

Below are some pics required for you to use in your writing. You can use all four or just one.

There’s a rather interesting message on the window above. Hope you all can read it.

Toilet? Yeah, a toilet. I find them rather inspiring. Especially, if they’re nice and clean.

So if you wish to partake in this blogfest please leave a link to your blog in the comment box. I will figure out how to post everyone’s link onto my page. Promise.

Before I end this post, you can also look forward to something I’ll be doing sometime this month, Hot Men of Blogs. So if you know of any leave me their links in the comment box.

Have a great day blogging, writing, and reading!

See you all later in the ink,

Shelly
