I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Bond. James Bond!

War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger...

Some people start making or buying Christmas presents in January and by October they're all wrapped and ready to go. Others hit the shops on Christmas Eve, frantically buying presents for everyone. Which are you? Tell us about the best Christmas present you ever gave anyone.

No. No. No! No!! NOOOOO!!!! This is something I cannot even wrap my brain around. I mean, come on, seriously? How do you know that in say 10 months the person you're buying for won't:
1~ buy the item themselves
2~ buy something better
3~ change their freakin minds
4 ~ totally forget they ever wanted said item
5~ have a huge lifestyle change
6~ or even die

I could go on here. I have a million reasons not to shop this far in advance. Besides, doesn't it take away the fun of the season? I refuse to even listen to Christmas music until Thanksgiving Day! And they start playing it on November 1st. I avoid that station like the plague because the mere thought of it makes my skin crawl.

I don't even want to see Christmasy items up in the stores before Halloween. That usually pisses me off when I walk into a store and see all the decorations out in mid October. Just goes to show how commercialized the holiday has really become.

If you are someone who can shop way early, more power to you, but I personally want no part of that thank you very much!

I think the best gift I ever gave was the complete James Bond collection. R got me into Bond. I really wasn't a fan growing up, and I remember making fun of my sister for being all into Roger Moore. Now I love the movies, and watch them all the time. So many channels do marathons and anytime they are running a marathon I'm all over it. So buying R the entire collection a few years ago was actually a smart move on my part.

I also bought him all of Bruce Lee's movies one year as well. He was quite happy about that.
