If you're blog hopping your way over from the the lovely, Donna Hosie's, Musings of A Penniless Writer blog, or just happened to stumble by, then welcome! Feel free to indulge in the decadent chocolate fountain and look around. I'm a blogging newbie, just started last month, so keep in mind, it's a work in progress. And now for the bad poetry.
An Open House Message
Welcome friends and visitors
And those who love to lurk,
Your presence here's delightful
A break from all my work.
Please look around and feel at home
I hope you'll read a bit.
May I offer you a beverage
And endless choc-o-late?
Just click below to comment
And leave a link and name.
I'd love to return your favor
By offering the same.
I thank the lovely Donna
Whose musings make me smile,
For hosting a fab party 
With charm, (hot men) and style!
A gift for the hostess ----------> chocolate shoes!
p.s. I apologize for not preparing a topic to blog about today. As you may have read in this previous post, I'm in middle of trying to add 10k to my upper MG novel, Nitpicky (working title). Not to mention preparing for another visitor, Hurricane Earl who will be passing by tonight. I'm crossing my fingers that he won't throw a tantrum. Word is he's mellowed out over the last 24 hours, but I'm not taking any chances.
Shoes and a chocolate fountain!!!!!! You are a friend in a million, Suzie.
ReplyDeleteps - I just edited my post on my blog. I've just pimped you!
ReplyDeleteHi! I took some time off from my own party to mingle with Donna's guests. Only she's wearing heels and I'm wearing my usual writerly get up of pj's and head-band. Yikes, did I just admit that? Anyway, nice to find your blog! Feel free to visit mine & join the hoppin' BBQ, going on for 4 days. You'll find lots of new blogs to follow and follow back.

Miaou! Purrowling in because Donna said you were the new kid on the block.
ReplyDeleteOh, chocolate shoes! Where did you find those? I know someone who would love them!
I hopped over here from Donna's blog, but I'll check back later because your follow button isn't loading. Have a great weekend and welcome to the bloggerhood! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, Donna you're so sweet! Thanks for the shout out. You've earned your right to lean back into the fountain and let the chocolate pour down your throat. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Yes, I think Donna sleeps in her Jimmy Choos. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my humble little blog. Looks like your BBQ is the place to be. I'll be sure to whip up some pasta salad and stop by this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello cat! - I believe we first met over at Nicola's blog. Thanks for stopping by. Help yourself to a saucer of milk.
ReplyDeleteHi MT! I think it must be working now. You're on my following list. I'm glad you stopped by and thanks for the welcome!
Hello Suzie! Came here from Donna's fabulous party - couldn't resist the lure of a chocolate fountain. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your poem! Hope Hurricane Earl is still mellow.
Hi Jayne! The best part about chocolate fountains on the internet? No calories! Earl was a polite guest, didn't make much of mess here, and was on his way. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzie,
ReplyDeleteI am a loyal reader of Donna's blog (That means I'm following her). She told us to make a detour and visit your blog. So here I am. Since this is a blog party, I hang around your party for a while (I'm following you!) and go back to Donna's crib ;) Hope you visit me up north.
Cheers!
P.S. Ah yes, I'm a writer too.

I hope Earl missed you. Many years ago when first husband was in grad school (UConn) we lived in the Connecticut woods for 3 years; and over the years old friends up there have been hit by hurricanes that knocked out power for days and broke tree limbs. Hope you escape this!
ReplyDeleteI just found you at KarenG's BBQ. I'm an "older" writer; I think I may call myself the senior writer of blogging, though I have found a few my age and a bit older, but not much older. Blogging is fun. So is writing; well, writing is work but fun work. I've spent decades on the memoir that's now under contract, to be published soon. Do come over to my blog and meet me too.
Hi Suzie,
ReplyDeleteI too started my blog last mont. We're both newbies! I read your favorite books selection and decided you were my kinda gal. I'm following!
P.S. I'm over from Karen G's BBQ.
Here from Donna Hosie, whom I just met. So many virtual BBQs, so little time. Nice to meet a fellow writer.
ReplyDeleteFollowed your Blog from Donna's too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Suzie,
ReplyDeleteI'm over here after attending the BBQ.
Nice to *meet* you!
Amy
