Six-Sentence Sunday

Six-Sentence Sunday #5

Happy Sunday! My revisions are done. WooHoo!!!! Now my manuscript is being read by a beta reader and I’m combing through the manuscript for typos. Yikes! So many. This is not going to be a fast project. Ready for another snippet? It’s a few sentences longer than six today, but I love this little exchange between Hope and her sister, Claire.

Excerpt:

“Nicely done, sis. She never saw it coming,” Claire said as she took one final look in the mirror. “You know you have a serious problem.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Hope lifted the tray of pastries off of the granite countertop.

“She just asked you to help, didn’t she? Fess up, what did you do with the high school students she hired?”

Hope shook her head. “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m just lending a hand.”

“Is that all you’re doing? My guess is right now you’re thinking about re-arranging the pastries, aren’t you?” Claire asked, pointing to the silver tray.

Happy Friday! Today it’ a wintry, snowy day perfect for curling up with a hot beverage, a good book and maybe, some web browsing. I {heart} blogs and I thought I’d share some blog love today.

Over at Nest For Less, Erin shared a Girl Cottage Bedroom Makeover. I admit it, I’m jealous of the little girl who sleeps in that room. It’s beautiful. I wish my childhood bedroom looked like that. Go on over and take a look.

Over at Pastels & Macarons, Maria shared a DIY project that definitely has a spring feel to it. Check out her post, Moss Covered Number, to learn how to a unique decoration that could have so many uses.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Two ingredients that are simply dreamy when combined together. So, how about a recipe for a smoothie with chocolate and peanut butter? Yeah, I know, it sounds sinfully delicious. To get the recipe for the Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie you’ll wat to visit Southern Krazed. Enjoy!

My plans for today is to do some reading and of course, some writing while it snows (we’re getting pretty close to the 6 inches that was predicted and it does look like a greeting card outside right now). What are you up to today?

There was a blizzard this weekend but luckily in my neck of the woods we got only five to six inches. And as with every snow storm I spent some time in the kitchen. Here’s a few photos of how I spent my weekend.

I made some molasses braised onions for steaks. Yum!

And I baked some blueberry muffins.

And we had a visitor throughout the whole storm. I love this turkey.

Due or Die is the second book in the A Library’s Lovers Mystery series by Jenn McKinlay. I ordered this book a couple of weeks ago while shopping on Amazon and I was in the mood for a cozy set in winter and having a puppy on the cover cinched the purchase for me. Now more than a hundred pages into the book, I’m loving it. I’ve ordered the first book in the series and it’s at the top of my TBR stack.
