LIPS FROM HELL (and other disasters)
OMG-WTF-Plastic-Surgery-Gone-Wrong Sure, the article is a year old, but my morbid fascination with this stuff never ceases.

A Christmas Friday 10
Nope, haven't blogged for a while. For those of you who saw my locked post a couple of weeks back, dealing with that threw me out of the loop for a while. But here I am. With Christmas two days away, I'm happy to announce that:
1. I finished all my shopping and managed to navigate every store without one single physical or even verbal altercation.
2. I wrapped every item (up till 3 a.m. last night doing it) and could actually climb up off the floor by myself without calling 9-1-1. My knees, however, may never be the same.
3. I found a happy medium between "cheap" and "extravagant." Well...I'm happy with it, anyway.
4. I'm officially flipping the bird to anyone out there who says gift cards are a crummy idea. I think they're a better idea than lottery tickets unless...yanno...it's a Guaranteed Win.
5. I'm loving my Nook and seriously hoping that Santa will be kind enough to load it up for me.
6. I ordered clothes for Grandma from some geriatric online "boutique" and literally shrieked in horror when I opened the package. DUDE! When I am that old? Please do NOT attempt to dress me in flowered dusters, dammit!
7. For the first time in several decades, because I am working, I will not be home on Christmas morning. *sniff*
8. Do you realize there is not ONE SINGLE TOY I can buy Elijah for Christmas that won't end up in his lower colon within 24 hours?
9. If nothing else, at least my hair will look spectacular for the holidays. :-)
10. The best thing? I have another Christmas to celebrate on January 7th and a whole 'nother paycheck on January 6th!

If You're Wondering What Happened to Martha...
...here she is, on the cover of another book:

It's kind of like running into an old friend, isn't it? :-)

AFTER OBSESSION Carrie Jones and Steven E. Wedel
AFTER OBSESSION by Carrie Jones and Steven E. Wedel.
INVITATION: When you ask him in,
INFESTATION: When he destroys your home.
OBSESSION: When he destroys your body.
POSSESSION: When there is no coming back.
This story almost stopped my heart more than once. It's riveting (and scary!) and the dual POVs are beautifully done. Congrats, Carrie and Steven--what an awesome team!!!!
From Amazon:Aimee and Alan have secrets. Both teens have unusual pasts and abilities they prefer to keep hidden. But when they meet each other, in a cold Maine town, they can't stop their secrets from spilling out. Strange things have been happening lately, and they both feel that something-or someone- is haunting them. They're wrong. Despite their unusual history and powers, it's neither Aimee nor Alan who is truly haunted. It's Alan's cousin Courtney who, in a desperate plea to find her missing father, has invited a demon into her life-and into her body. Only together can Aimee and Alan exorcise the ghost. And they have to move quickly, before it devours not just Courtney but everything around her.
Loved it, loved it! :-)
