Music Monday – Little Surfer Girl

My sister and I are going to Hawaii in a few weeks. To prepare for this, since January, I’ve been off sugar and carbonation. Oh wait. No, I’d meant to be off sugar and carbonation, but then cupcakes happened and Trader Joe’s happened and book writing/releasing happened. And, well, you know the story.
Today, we are at the one-month-until-we-go date, and I am no where near bikini ready. However, my sister and I spoke two days ago and she informed me that–since she wants to stay out of the sun–that she intends to wear a mumu most of the time. Well, after I died laughing, I got to thinking about what a great idea that was. A mumu? Sure! It’s breezy, it covers everything, and sure, it can be sexy. Right? 

Of course, in my mind I visualize myself looking like this:

When in all actuality, it’s probably closer to this…

Oh well, bring it on.

Music Monday – "Few Days Down" & Abby Road

15 days ’til Abby Road!

To celebrate, here’s a sneaky peek at a song from the playlist.

picture this: Abby on the beach, dark glasses, nose in a romance novel, major decompression. 

It’s a take-out weekend
It’s a fake out, smile and pretend
If nobody sees you cry
You can say it was raining outside

And all that you want is a few days down
All that you need, a little time to drown
It’s to be expected with all the weight you carry ’round
All that you want is a few days down.

celebration time…come on!

Who knows what today, February 26, 2013 is?

If you guessed that eight years ago today, Halle Berry accepted the Razzie award for her portrayal of Catwoman, you’re close.

If you say it’s Johnny Cash’s birthday, you’re getting warmer.

If you guess that it’s ONE MONTH until the release of ABBY ROAD, you’re exactly right!

How can I let a momentous day like this pass without some celebrating and giveaways?

How to enter. It’s super easy. Just leave me a quicky comment saying your favorite Beatles song. (Abby LOVES the Beatles, by the way. You’ll see!) If you don’t have a favorite, just throw one out there. It might be a goodie. If you don’t like the Beatles, I don’t want to know about it….this is a CELEBRATION, people!  And don’t forget to leave your email addy so I can give you the good news!
 
I’m going to pick a winner tomorrow at the stroke of twelve noon CST (or sometime around there in case I step out for some TexMex. I’ve been craving that lately). The winner will be chosen at random and will received a SIGNED COPY of ABBY ROAD and some other delicious bookery swag! 

If you need some Beatles inspiration, here is one of my favorites. Enjoy and rock on!
