Uk all the way!

  Most of my close friends know that I really do love all things British.  I mean I really, really, think I was British in a former life!  I was, I am pretty sure I whispered in the Queen mum's ear at one point in her pre throneship and said,  Lizzy, this is gonna be ride!  (Ok, ok, so I probably didn't have with Queen Elizabeth or any other queen when they were just wee lassies. ) She was like....     I actually think I have a fascination of a country that is so full of history and so beautifully old.  I guess that would be Europe in general.  Now don't get me wrong I love my country and perhaps it is the grass is greener syndrome grabbing hold of me and calling me, but we didn't exactly start here did we. Well my ancestors sure didn't and perhaps it could be wanting to follow ones roots. \Were someone called me right now and say, OK we have your passport and you bags are  packed you have an all expense paid trip to back pack round the uk, Scotland, Irelan

I'll be your Sassenach

   I know I am not breaking this news lassies.  You know, the news that this hunk of Scottish man-flesh, Sam Heughan,  is going to be Jamie In the Starz upcoming television extravaganza of Diana Gabaldon's books!!! Which by the way I would love to thank you for Ms. Diana! I mean could you just picture this guy as Jamie????? If not then really ....to use an old worn out saying.....bitch talk to the hand!!!!!   I mean katy bar the pub look at those eyes!!!! Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh....you had me with the eyes.   Now while im going on and on about all of this I guess I should say that I am  a relatively new Outlander obsessed babe, having only discovered them while most of my chic a licious lit chic friends are on their 2nd, 3rd and even 10th read of this saucy series.      There is not a doubt in my mind I will do the same as I have the audio books and the e books and have the hard backs on the way.  I am sure I will go over and over it all and recommend to everyone I meet

Real friends

  I don't know very many people these days who don't have their face on some sort of social network. I mean it's almost alien to hear someone go..."I don't really get into that kind of thing. I have a life!"  Ok, I can respect that. I mean to each his own, but, come on.  I mean I totally have a life, an extremely busy life and I don't just sit at my computer and hide away from the world.  Far from it. I take care of a family, I go to writing critique groups...sometimes with something actually written, I go to parties and visit family and battle the weeds that are trying their damnedest to kill my lilies.  I have a few friends brave enough to hang out with me and be interested in my special kind of madness.  I lead a very real and active life.  However, that being said I do love the virtual and social world of the world wide web.  Good blazing sun in the sky I don't know a writer who doesn't love it now a days.  Think about it. Never has there be
