i'm smitten

Well, I never.

You people put yesterday on my toptendaysinlife list. I can't tell you how much all your birthday wishes (and compliments!) meant to me.

Special thanks to my Sweet Niblet, Fiction Groupie, Sierra Godfrey, Mehlane, and Diana for making #itsambersbirthday a trendy trending topic on Twitter.

However, no one could have outdone my main blog squeeze over at Vita Brevis, who dedicated an entire post to me yesterday.

No, seriously. The post was about me. I inspired it. Go there now and read it. I'll just give you a snippet, to entice you to click on my linkage:

And, while Amber is definitely a very attractive young lady and she's also quite talented and funny, these are not the traits that originally attracted me to her blog and such. Well, it didn't hurt; I'll be honest there. However, the thing that made me sit up and take notice? Her love of college basketball, specifically the lowly and woebegone Indiana Hoosiers.
 
For reals, I read the whole post about eight times.
 
Also, several of you are already entered in my birthday/ 100 followers contest, but if anyone missed out on that... you can enter it here.
 
I mean, if you aren't interested in watching a vlog in which I dedicate and sing karaoke to you, personally, then don't bother entering my contest. It's not like I want to get all melodic for a lukewarm fan.
 
I'm not beggingyouspice.
 
Yeah. So, the contest ends Sunday. 
 
You'd better get in on that action while you still can.

Oh, and I probably should have worked in a little "[insertwordhere]spice" into the post dedicated to you, but "racistspice" seemed like such a buzzkill.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

love at first sight blogfest, or, go eat a heart-shaped cookie

Courtney Reese is hosting a love at first sight blogfest, in which writer's write about the icky love stuff. Check it out -- there are already a ton of entries over there. Okay, so my scene isn't really love at first sight for my mc, Laurel (in fact, she doesn't even want it to be) but this is the first time she interacts with her second love interest, David.  Read! Enjoy! Critique!      A sea of southerners filled the lobby of the movie theater. David Winter stood at a neon orange podium in the center of the throng, his head throbbing. He tore off one ticket stub after another, pointed the masses in the appropriate direction. The work was monotonous. Most of the patrons were lost in conversations with one another, and they paid David the same lack of attention that he showed them. He tried not to grimace at the giggling teenage girls, the smug looking guys in gold chains, the overweight middle aged couples: all annoyed him equa...
