Saw Transformers today. I liked it. I can see though why some people might not. I have a couple friends who didn't and some who did. The first one is still my favorite though. My only problem with it was that it was too long. The length would have been okay at home when you can pause it, but to sit straight like that for two hours and a half, not always fun. Sure I sit eight hours at work, but I at least can get up and move a little bit. Can't really see me doing that in the theater, hehe.

Chapter 4: Innocent Until Proven Guilty is up at BlovelSpot for Love at First Bite....I always welcome opinion :) http://loveatfirstbite.blovelspot.com

I love my dog, Charly. I hate to say this but she is my favorite out of all the dogs my family has ever owned. We got Charly, (real name is Charlotte) when I was fourteen years old. Here I am twenty-nine and she is fifteen.
I look at her and know it's coming. When? I don't know. I look at my sister's dog Winnie. I guess I should spell it Winny, sorry. My sister got me on facebook spelling her dog's name wrong. Anyways. Winny is ten years old and is still very active. I forgot what it's like to have an active dog. Winny barks, rolls over, or jumps on the bed. Charly? She sleeps, eats, and goes to the bathroom. I can't take her for a walk anymore without her getting tired. I haven't taken Winny for a walk yet, but I'm looking at it doing it tomorrow. I know she will enjoy it. I can see her barking now at all the dogs or kids.
It just makes me sad to see Charly old now. It never brothered me before. I know dogs get old. But when Winny came in the picture, I started to miss the old Charly. I miss her getting excited when she looked out my window. If my family and I hit each other as a joke and we would say "ow," Charly would come running and bark at the person who hit. Not in a bad way. Just picture a small dog trying to be tough, but really isn't.
I'm still trying to figure out what Winny likes to do. I tried taking one of Charly's old toys and have her catch it. She just looks at me like I'm nuts. Then there is the head nuggie. Charly does this still a little bit, but it's a mini two second growl. I use to take my hand on Charly's head and give her head nuggies. She loved those and would growl, but a happy growl. Make sense? I guess you had to be there. I tried doing that with Winny and she just sits there.
In case you are wondering why my sister's dog is living with us, it's because my sister and crew will be moving in with us while they prepare to move back to the states. They also have people renting their house and the lease isn't up so that's why they are moving in with my parents and I. I still haven't figured out why our house. They live in Utah and my brother in law's family is in Utah. So why they are picking Ohio to stay in? Who knows. My guess is just spending time with my parents. Maybe me. But I know my sister misses my parents more.
I'm sure you will get a blog or two once they settle in. It's going to be a crowded house. My sister has a two year and a baby under one.

Happy Sunday everyone!
Nothing really exciting to report. Took the day off from church and slept it. I have a big day of me. I get to clean, do laundry, and write. Sounds exciting doesn't it?

Can't believe about Michael Jackson. That came out of nowhere. I was putting some laundry in the washer when my sister says from the family room, he was dead. At first I thought I didn't hear her right. So I came out and watched the news report it. Or should I say at the time, TMZ was claiming it.

So is Michael Jackson our Elvis?

Is it really hard to clean your dishes? I won't say where I saw this at work. But I came across some old mugs. Mole in them along with the drink. That was just wrong.

Not sure yet where my home will be tomorrow. They are doing the carpet at work, so my team had to move to other co-workers cubicles. I really hope by some miracle, the carpet will done. I miss my computer. I doubt it though, I think they have to let the floor dry from when we had the water flood. At least I can sit at my friend's desk. I promised her some new decoration for her cubicle, hehe.

Finally reading My Sister's Keeper, so far so good.

The post before this if you are curious, was just an attempt to writing poetry. When it comes to weakness, my weakness is probably poetry. I thought it would be a good exercise. You will have to let me know if it sucks or doesn't suck. One or the other.

I want our sixty or seventy degree weather. I hope this storm brings some cool weather.

Hope everyone is having a good day despite the news of the two celebrites.

Near or Far

I wait for you day and night.
Yet, there is no sight.
I know you're there.
I feel you everywhere.
I swim through the sea.
But the fish are all around me.
I'm a mouse in maze.
I'm a blind dog with only smell.
We share the same sun.
We share the same moon.
I'm Venus.
You're Mars.
I sensed you yesterday.
I sensed you today.
Will I know your name?
When you call me will I know your true face?
Until the time arrives.
I will wait for you over there.

HEART

It’s been ten years it seems since I’ve seen him. Okay, maybe only seven years, but it feels like ten. The last time I laid eyes on him I was twenty-two.
When I look back now, I miss him. I missed the way he touched me and the feeling of his kisses. He always had a smile that put a smile on my face.
And yet all my friends told me no. They would tell me, he was using me. That he only wanted one thing. For so many nights I refused to believe that. My friends couldn’t see what I saw.
When I look back now, maybe they were right. But what if I had taken that chance? What if I told my friends no? Maybe my heart was right.
I wonder where my life would be now if I listened to my heart.

So happy to be home. I just want to chill today and do nothing.
Last night, we had a bad storm. It was one of those you hear one really loud sound of thunder right after another. I swear the house was shaking. I kept thinking, "are we having an earthquake?" Of course I know it wasn't an earthquake. When we get earthquakes in Ohio, you have to hear about it on the news. That's how often you feel them.
Charly, my dog who is going deaf I think could even hear the thunder. Although, she could have sensed it. So between the dog, the rain, and thunder I think I got two hours of sleep.
Naturally I signed up for etime, when I got to work. I figured it's Saturday, I can get etime and catch some zzzz's. Guess what? Nope. I kept waiting though. Customer Service was busy with call after call, but my department? I think I read over 100 pages today of Garden Spell, and even wrote a little. Why I was there when I could be home sleeping? I will never know.
Of course, the fans are still going so it was chilly, but today I wore my hoodie and sweats so it wasn't as bad as yesterday. It was just annoying when you wanted to talk to a co-worker and you had to keep going, "what?" To tell you how loud the fans were. I couldn't even my co-worker who sits two cubicles over. Plus, with the fans it made the day boring because since we didn't hear each other that well, we didn't get into any conversations really.
And to make the day even better, there were the lovely customers. Note the scarcasm there. It was one of those days where you get one bad customer after another.
I'm just happy the weekend has started. Let the fun begin. Although at this point, I'm for staying in and relaxing. My sister and her family will be returning from their vacation from Maine today. I believe my brother in law will be staying here until Monday, than my sister and nephew leave around the 4th? I could be wrong. Either way, it will be nice to spend time with them.
I'm hoping they will be tired from driving and they will want to stay in and be lazy. Fingers are crossed.
Alright, I'm off to watch The Soup from last night and maybe eat some Pineapple Sherbert Ice Cream.

Really not looking forward to work tomorrow. Although, if I'm dressed for it, I should be okay. They had a billion fans on to dry the floor today and to top that off the cold air conditioner that is always on seem to be on full blast. I seriously thought I would lose the feeling in my fingers and toes. I'm so glad I decided to wear capris and flip flops today. Finally around one, they decided to move my team because we were the closest to the fans. I got onto someone's computer and cubicle. I missed my system. I really did. Tomorrow, I am preparing myself for the cold since they said the fans will probably be on all weekend. I want to be able to use my computer.
I also hope to get some smart customers. I wasn't feeling it with the customers today. I actually had one get mad because I said we didn't sell the xbox. Last time I checked, I worked at an office supply company. I can get them a computer, but not an xbox. Than I had some customers where they just didn't listen. One was bad enough where I said, their delivery date and I kid you not right after I said it, they asked when it would be delivered.
I'm starting Garden Spells, so far so good. In fact, I'm about to get comfy soon and read some. Hope everyone had a good TGIF!

Today at work wasn't too bad. I got to be off the phone for a couple hours to help with the hot dog sale. The interesting part of the day, probably was the pipe leakage. There I was on the phone talking to a customer when I hear people going, "Oh my god." Supervisors are running over to a certain area. I'm thinking, "what the heck." As I'm still chatting with my customer, my supervisor is telling the three girls on my team who sit in the cubicles across from mine to unplug their computers, make busy on their phones. I end the call and I look above my cubicle to see what is going on. Apparently a pipe leaked and water was going everywhere. Of course, the water was spreading. So the rest of us had to get our butts moving. Unfortunately they made us work. We had to go to the other side of the building and use computers on that side. Which wasn't fun. You get so use to your own little system and than when you move, it's all gone. I only had to be at the unfamiliar computer for an hour because my shift ended. As of right now, I should be back to my computer tomorrow. Probably will have to give myself time to get logged in and everything since we will have to plug our computers back in. Should be a fun morning.
Now here I am, ready to write until there is no tomorrow. Okay,maybe until at least I get sleepy.
Also check out my blovel.....updated it with chapter three.

Here is the link to my firefly fanfic on fireflyfans.net
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=22136&nid=31064

Morning everyone!!!! It's going to be one of those days, I can tell. I keep zoning out and have to remember what I'm doing. Wish I could be a morning person. I think part of the problem was that I was wide awake still after midnight. I have to remind myself to fall asleep early tonight. We shall see. It's so hard during the week when I want to write and sometimes the only time I have to write is at night. How do you writers do it??

Tonight, I'm lazy again. I was really hoping to stay motivated, but nope. Well, it's my Sunday night, so I guess I need to start slowing down and prepare myself for another week at work. I hope the week flies. Actually I always hope the weeks fly. Isn't that sad when you wish your life away?

My thoughts on The Last Summer by Ann Brashare

This was my first book to read by Ann Brashare. I knew of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, thanks to the movies. I have to admit when I saw the book and saw who the author was; my first thought was young adult. I picked it up anyways and I'm glad I did. Once I started to read it, I couldn't put it down. I loved the way we would go back and forth from character to character.
I have to admit, I could easily predictiwhat would become of Alice and Paul. But I like how they envolved. I liked how they both returned to the island and found each other again. It was nice to see them finally go on the ferry boat together at the end.
The sisterly love between Riley and Alice was sweet. I did keep waiting though for a love triangle between the three characters. I was okay with the fact it never happened. Maybe it's me, but I felt like Alice's character wasn't too depressed over Riley dying. I know the family was prepared for her death, but still. I felt there could have been more emotion in there.
Overall, The Last Summer was a good book. If you are looking for something that involves love or friendship, this is definitely a good book to read.

I love Monday mornings. Don't you? Okay, I'm sure many of you don't. Usually those who might be at work as I write this. I like having Mondays off. Sure I would love to have Saturdays off, but having Mondays off, helps me lot.
Loved True Blood last night. Was really sad to see that Eric was only in it for a minute, maybe two. I won't get into it, in case you haven't watched the episode yet. I bet it's going to be a good season. I heard the second season follows the second book. I'm still reading Dead Until Dark, but hope to have it done soon, so I can start the second book. Although, I might read another book in between. I'm kinda in the mood to read The Beach House by Jane Green again. Speaking of Jane Green, don't forget her book comes out this week. I'm waiting to buy it, so I can use a coupon. Come on Borders or Barnes and Nobles, get those coupons out. Although, I have a feeling they did already give their coupons out for the week. None of the coupons of course help me. So I will see where I am on Friday, and than just go to Barnes and Noble since I can get a percentage off with my membership.
I swear I buy books like many women buy shoes.
Nothing too exciting to report today. At least of yet. Unless you count laundry and watering the plants as exciting. I am definitely going to write a lot today.
I'm kinda sad, no one has commented on my firefly fanfic that I wrote. Is that good or is that bad? If you are a fan of the show, check it out at
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5135869/1/Monkey_in_the_Middle
I might continue on with it.
Today though, I will be focusing on my He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not novel.
I'm getting closer to the writing class that starts in July. Is it bad I'm excited to go to a class? I can't wait. I'm also nervous usually if the other students in the class are a lot better at writing than I am. Time will tell and you will definitely hear about it.
Well, I better get my chores done and my workout in so I can write, write, and do some more writing.

I'm feeling old this morning. I was sleeping peacefully after staying up late to read Dead until Dark and I was woken up by my next door neighbors who had company over. I would also like to add it was seven in the morning. I know I'm not a morning person, but why have company over so early? I think in general my neighbors like to make me feel old. Last time, I was woken up by them it was a Friday night and I had to be up early for work the next day. They had a huge party going until three in the morning.
I feel like I need to take a nice long walk this morning. My best friend came over and we had a girls night. Which was fun. We haven't had one of those in awhile. We just ate food, talked, and watched Bride Wars. The long walk is definitely for the food we ate last night. Lots of good food. Although technically, a lot of it was snack food and you know what happens when you put snack food in front of yourself. Looking forward to the next girls night.
I'm loving this lazy weekend. Wish it could be like this every weekend. I should really sit down and write,but this weekend I'm all for just being lazy. I feel like I don't get that many anymore. I did write a lot yesterday at work. If there is one nice thing about working at a call center on a Saturday, not many people call my department. I wrote a little for everything, my future novel, the vampire story, and a little snippet of maybe a future novel or stort story.
I know I promised a review of The Last Summer and maybe I will do one for Immortal. Maybe I'll just try not to be lazy for a little bit today. I promise though to have reviews up next week either way.
Well I'm off to check some websites, than getting my morning coffee or should I say afternoon??

This isn't a complete story or anything....just an idea of maybe a future short story or maybe a future novel....
He pulls me towards him. The arms go around my body. There was warmth between the two of us. He is trying to tell me everything will be alright. I sigh. I don't want to lose him. He has to return to his family home. There is some family business to take care of. The family needs him for a couple weeks. That doesn't sound like a lot but since we became one, we have never parted. The two of us would only seperate when he went off to work. Knowing that he promises to come back, I can rest easily. He finally parts from me and walks on the train. I know I should have told him about the baby I'm carrying but I decided to wait. He is going to get the best surprise ever when he returns.

Him

Will he ever look at me?

Not just look, but the way he looks at her?

The two of them laugh.

They will joke with the other.

He smiles towards me.

What is he thinking?

What will happen when he finds out the truth?

Could he see a future with me?

Who knew, I could get ready in a half hour. Of course by the time I got to work, my heart was still going a mile a minute. I woke up at 7:05. I wake up at 6. So don't know how I did it, but I did it. I missed my morning routine, so that messed up my day. Does that happen to anyone else?

The customers at work were a little better today. Some though I think were still thinking it was a full moon.

I'm having a night of laziness. I know it's Friday, but Fridays for me are Thursday nights. I'm going to maybe finish Lost in Austen and finish Immortal (Love Stories with Bite).

Did another chapter for Love At First Bite...

Wedding of my Dreams

Canon in D is playing.

I take a deep breathe before I start a new chapter in my life.

My arm goes through my father's.

We start walking.

Through my veil I see friends and family.

What thoughts are going through their heads?

Is there a tear running down their cheek?

I lock eyes with the man I will spend the rest of my life with.

He smiles.

I smile.

I already feel a tear coming from my eye.

It's when I hear this strange sound coming.

I look around for the sound.

No one else notices the sound.

It's when I finally come back to reality that my alarm is going off.

It's time to wake up and face the world alone.

I finished The Last Summer (of you and me) by Ann Brashare and this one I would definitely recommend. Maybe this weekend I will write a review on it. Right now, I'm still waking up so my mind is not clear. I'm lucky if I can add 2+2 right now. It's 4 right? Ha-ha.
The next book I am reading is Immortal (Love Stories with Bite) which has different young adult authors telling stories with vampires.
I love how these vampire stories are coming out. I have been a fan of vampires since I picked up the book Dracula back in junior high school. I love reading these vampire stories that are technically written for young adult. Where were they when I was a teenager? At least I had Interview with a Vampire. Speaking of which, with all these vampire stories I'm reading I think I might have to get out The Vampire Chronicles. It has been awhile since I read them. First though, I want to read the Sookie Stackhouse series. I figure I better since the second season of True Blood is starting on Sunday. Which by the way, I can't wait for. I'm sure you will get a blog from me on the episode.
Another thing about Vampires, yes I am writing my own story. It is a love story, but I would like to stick to the old version of the Vampire. The ones who come out at night, no soul. Things like that. It's also new for me. I love reading the stories, but never wrote anything like that. I've always been a romance type writer. So please stick with me as I write Love At First Bite.
I really hope since the full moon was on Sunday and now here it is Thursday, the customers at work won't be as bad today. I never known a full moon to last this long. What type of full moon were we having? Some of these customers amaze me and that's all I can say about that.
I guess I should let the workday start, my first call should be coming any minute now.

I feel like a traitor. I haven't blogged lately. What can I say? It's been a blah weekend. Nothing really exciting to report. Unless you are one of those people who get excited for cleaning or doing laundry. I did go to Borders Friday night with a friend and got a couple books. Than on Saturday I went to Cleats with my best friend. So as you can see, it was a blah weekend. Of course I did have fun with my friends.

I'm sad to see the weekend end. Yeah, I know, technically the weekend ends on Sunday night. But for me, my weekend ends Monday. Really hope the work hours fly this week, but the evenings stay slow. My sister and her family will be in town and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them.

I am working on more of my Vampire Story and hope to have it up in a few days. I wrote the first half of the second chapter and just have the second half to finish. If all goes well, I will have it done tomorrow. That really just depends on when everyone gets in. I will do my best to have it posted by Thursday. Hopefully Friday the latest. Even if I finish writing it tomorrow, there is the lovely editing part. Will definitely keep you posted. I haven't heard too much feedback. So really don't know if that is good or bad? Plus my best friend is my editor. She will let me know if it sucks, before I post it, ha-ha.

Also not sure if I mention this, but I am giving it a shot at writing a Firefly Fanfic. I'm nervous. I'm not sure if I could do the characters justice. I wrote something to get me started, but I have a few things to edit and also have to look up specifically the chinese words for some of the quotes.

I guess I should be getting off so I can read some more of The Last Summer. I really like it so far. I know there is suppose to be tragedy and I have a feeling I know what it is. Hope I'm wrong though. Maybe when I'm done, I will post a review.

My main novel that I hope to publish is slowly coming along. But I have faith I will have it done by the end of the year. Remember I have until December 18. That is my deadline. So let's see how I do. I am one of those people who like to do things last minute. So I am giving myself until December 18, 2009 at 10:19am. That minute I will be only 29 for one last time. Sounds silly I know, but I said I wanted this novel to be done when I turned 30.

Hope everyone had a good Monday. Just think one day down before the weekend begins again. Isn't it bad, we wish our lives away?

I really thought this day would never end. My customers weren't actually bad. They were just the ones that want to put you to sleep. Where all you want to do is fall asleep. I know you can't get that excited over ordering office supplies but they could show some excitement.

Friday

Good morning all! Two more days, two more days. I can do this right? The weekend is almost here. I would love to e-time today, but I'm waiting for Saturday for my e-time. It's going to be hard. That lovely link on the main menu is going to be so tempting. Must say no. Maybe I'll be lucky and the day will go fast but we will have slow calls. Not too slow of course, so I can still have a job. Bust just enough. It's been a busy week, which is weird to see in June. I guess that should be a good thing. Normally in June though, we are really slow.
I'm hoping to finishing Hunted by P.C and Kristin Cast tonight. Than I'm thinking maybe a chick lit or just plain fiction. It's a tough decision when you buy book after book in all genres.
I should have my next chapter in Love at First Bite up next week. I'm hoping for early next week, but it really depends on the weekend and my sister. We are doing house cleaning around the house this weekend, than my sister and crew will be here Tuesday until at least Thursday, so whenever I can, I will write. I'm also working on my other story, which I'm thinking of calling, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. It's not a vampire story, it's more of a Jane Austen theme type book.
Also wonder what people are thinking as they read the first chapter???
Have a happy Friday everyone.

My first attempt

So I am now going to be posting a story online at blovelspot. If you are a writer, I would definitely check it out. You can check it out at, http://lovesfirstbite.blovelspot.com.
Please note, I know it's not the best, but I want to get all the experience in the world. So please check it out and let me know you think. You guys are the one who can make me a stronger writer, with your opinions.

Hi there....

I decided to start a blog. I have a few here and there, but thought I would give this a shot. I guess I should introduce myself. The name is Robyn and I'm at the lovely age of 29. It's hard to believe I will be 30 by the end of the year. Where did the twenties go? Will the thirties go this fast?

I live in Northeast Ohio close to Cleveland. I have lived here practically my whole life. Okay, my family and I might have moved here when I was the age of 7, but to me it feels like forever. Ohio has it's moments but I love it even though I would love to live somewhere and experience something new. The only other places I lived that I can actually remember was the time I went to college and both universities I attended were in Ohio, so that really doesn't count.

I work in the lovely world of call centers. I play a role in catalog sales. Seeing some of my friends work in customer service makes me want to stay in catalog. Although I have had my share of crazy customers. But don't we all?

What else can I tell you before you fall asleep? I do want to be a writer. This year I started working on my first novel. I hope to have it done by my birthday, which will be in December. With my luck, probably will have to extend the deadline. I'm not sure how well I will do, but I am going to try my best. I've always been more of a reader, than a writer. So I guess we will see.

I guess this is all for now. Thanks for getting to know me.
