Rawr…


Okay, before I get to the striped guy I have to say, thank you to the readers who reached out to me over the weekend when they couldn’t find Required Surrender on Amazon. It took a little longer to show up than expected, but it’s all good now. Made for a hectic weekend though and this would explain the guy above. Okay, here goes.
So there I am yesterday getting ready for the day. I do have other than writing work to do – I know, shocking isn’t it? Anyway, when I’m not doing that “other” work I’m sitting doing my writing, so in order to fit into my office chair I have to exercise at some point, right? With that in mind, Honey turned our son’s old room into a casual gym for me. Yay! I call it my torture chamber (but don’t tell him because he really worked hard on it, okay?) Anyway, yesterday I went in to do my run and there on the top of the treadmill Honey had left the stuffed animal with the caption, “Go get ‘em, tiger!” He’s very supportive of my writing career. In fact, I think he loves release days more than I do. There I was grinning from ear-to-ear reading the rest of his note (and no, I’m not going to tell you what he promised in it, but I will say he delivered on that promise last night! He delivered good! ) Erm, where was I again? Oh, yeah, reading the last of the not that said, “Squeeze him.” So I scooped up the tiger and when I squeezed, he roared. It was a really fake and totally lame kind of a growl that had me LMAO! I don’t know why, but a guy like Honey picking out such a silly thing for me at this stage in our lives really tickled my funny-bone. I just keep squeezing him to hear it. I just did it again. Crap, it’s addictive. But isn’t he cute? And I don’t mean the tiger. Although he’s cute too.
