A New Recipe!

Sorry, I did not post yesterday, it completely slipped my mind, and I need to start putting reminders on my phone.

I almost took the whole day off today because I woke up tired. I went to bed early, instead, I got up and took a walk.

I have a recipe for everyone and it looks yummy. I will be making the double chocolate paleo banana bread tomorrow and will take pics to show you.

Finding You by Kelly Elliott

Release Day: Sept 8, 2015

Synopsis:

If Grace Johnson knew one thing at all, it was that all men were dirtbags.

All men … except Noah Bennet.

“I was lost in his eyes. Lost in his tears. My goal was to pull him out of the darkness … even if it dragged me in as well.”

If Noah Bennet knew one thing at all, it was he needed Grace Johnson.

Needed her … desperately.

“My pain was pulling me under … she was my only saving grace.”

Grace is willing to put everything on the line to help bring back the man she is hopelessly in love with. Even if it costs her the future she’s been longing for.

“If finding you means losing a part of me … I’ll do it.”

In her spare time she loves to sit in her small corner overlooking the Texas hill country and write.

One of her favorite things to do is go for hikes around her property with Gus....her chocolate lab and the other man in her life, and Rose, her golden retriever. When Kelly is not outside helping the hubby haul brush, move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for her that day, you’ll find her inside reading, writing or watching HGTV.

EXCERPT

“Why are you both home so soon? I thought it was dinner and a movie?”

Alex chewed on her lip as Will lifted his eyebrows and pushed his hand through his hair. “Yeah, I don’t think we’re going to be allowed back into Joey’s Pizza anytime soon,” Will said as Alex glared at him.

“Why?” Grace asked as she leaned her body into me. God, I loved the feeling of being with her. It allowed me to forget everything else going on in my life.

“Do you want to tell them, Will? Or should I?” Alex asked, hands snapping to her hips as she narrowed her eyes at Will.

Will walked to the kitchen as he lifted his hand and said, “You go right ahead, I’m getting a beer. Noah, want one?”

As much as I wanted one, I had given up drinking after I went on the drunken binge a few months back.

“No thanks, I don’t drink anymore.”

Grace looked up at me and gave me the sweetest smile.

Alex made her way over to the chair and sat as Grace took my hand in hers and led us to the sofa. Sitting, she motioned for Alex to begin with her story.

Alex cleared her throat and took a quick peek at Will. “Well, I’ve been having morning sickness, but it seems to come and go. It came tonight at Joey’s Pizza. I was feeling nauseous. Will here, he decides it’s funny seeing me gag when I see this guy … picking his—”

Alex covered her mouth and made a gagging sound as Will attempted to hold in a laugh as he walked up.

Dropping her hand, Alex yelled, “Stop it, Will!”

Holding up his hands, he shook his head. “I’m sorry! I can’t help it.”

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Alex continued on. “Anyway, Will here kept talking about it, even when I begged him to stop. We were standing in the buffet line and Will told me to look at the guy. I did.”

“Oh holy hell,” Grace whispered, “you didn’t?”

Slowly nodding her head, Alex whispered back, “I did.”

“Then Will gagged, because he looked at the guy who was… oh God … it’s hitting me again.”

Grace and I both leaned away from Alex.

Alex jumped up and ran into the half bath down the hall as Grace and I watched her and then turned back to Will. He was lifting his beer to his lips as he took a long drink and smiled.

“Long story short, she threw up all over the buffet. Twice.”

“Gross,” Grace and I said.

Letting out a chuckle, Will said, “That’s not the worst of it.”

Shaking her head, Grace asked, “How could it be any worse?”

“Other people throwing up.”

Title: How To Save A Life

Series: Emerald Cove #1

Author: Lauren K. McKellar

Genre: YA Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 21, 2015

BLURB

Life is not a love song …

I learnt the hard way that labels stick. Laura took “lovely”, and the teacher branded me “lady-like”.

It stuck with me, even through my high school years. It felt like that was all I’d ever be.

Until everything changed.

Lonely Lia.

Little Lia.

Lia the liar.

Lia the lost …

Now the choices are endless. But I don’t want to be any of those either.

My name is Lia Stanton. And this is my story.

EXCERPT

She walks up the stairs, and straight away my heart leaps from my chest, beating a staccato that raps into my throat, the pulse point at my wrist, all throughout my body. I go from steady to strung-out in the blink of an eye.

"Mum," I call, and this time on the staircase, she spins around.

"Yes?" She frowns.

Don't go up there,

I try to say the words, but my stupid voice won't work. My mouth moves, but no sound comes out, and Mum tilts her head to the side. "Lia ..."

Don't!

I try to scream so loud my lungs hurt, and still, nothing.

Don't go into your bedroom.

You can't see that.

It will ruin you.

"Lia, you're normally such a sensible girl." She sighs and turns her back, then walks up the stairs again.

My voice mightn't work but my feet do, and I charge after her, leaping up those stairs two at a time. She floats down the hall toward their room, and I run, run as fast as I can, and grab onto her shoulder just as she tightens her grip on the door.

"Lia, will you drop it?" She turns to face me. "I'm just going to see if your father is home. What harm could I possibly do?"

My stupid voice is without once again, and as I try to yell at her, to tell her that no, she shouldn't go in there, that seeing what's behind that door will destroy her—

She twists the handle.

She opens the door.

And she screams.

And straight away I'm back on the couch, hearing that blood-curdling noise that chills me to my very bones, that signifies the start of the end of life as I know it. I race up the stairs to try help her, to try and make it stop, but when I get there she has collapsed in the hall.

She's broken.

And nothing I try to do will fix that.

A different update

This post is going to be different today. I have been reading and started t think about some stuff.

Am I the way I am because of my family and how I'm treated? Is it because I have done things in life where I made bad decisions? Maybe it's from not having my siblings around and have that bond with them that I am damaged.

I have wondered at times why no one wants me around, well a lot more then you think. Everyone says that they do want me around but they really don't. They like other people more and like hanging out with them so I'm left in the dust.

It sucks and I do think it plays a huge role in my moods even though I am used to it. I know people can't handle my strong independent personality and give it you straight attitude. I think they just ask me around on holidays to be nice.

I have learned to stop giving a shit and do what I think is right for me. I'm not the little innocent girl you once knew or the girl who is going to kiss ass on everyone and play nice, nope! I WILL not do that. I will tell you how it is and what I think.

Most times people don't want to be around because they want to "please everyone" which you shouldn't! Stop deluding yourself and grow some fucking BALLS!

It's sad when I see people pleasing others an being what they want that person to be. It's like they are a shell with nothing inside and like I said it's "kissing ass to other people"

I reflect a lot on my life and I don't regret my decisions, well maybe one but the rest definitely not. I'm glad I am following who I want to be and that I have tattoos! I'm proud of who I am even if I forget.

There are other things that bother me but maybe I should leave that for a rainy day, my friends don't care and they never will. This is one reason why I won't be doing a birthday/Christmas list this year. I want something but its sooooo taboo for them to get it! I don't see how it is but they will buy nose rings for someone?

anyways I think I have ranted on long enough. I'm reading a book and one character has made me think. Back to reading.
