Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.02.2005

This time it’s Robin’s fault.

Seven Things to Do Before I Die (Lord willing):

1. The salvation of my family and friends.

2. An eating tour of Europe—who cares about sight-seeing? I want to eat the food!

3. Visit the Holy Land

4. Become a successful author

5. Learn to write a book as fast as Robin or Cheryl

6. Learn to speed read

7. Read all the books in my office.

Seven Things I Cannot Do:

1. Eat uni (sea urchin) sushi

2. I am human, so I’m capable of any sin thanks to our sinful nature, but I’d like to think I’d never cheat on my husband.

3. Stop eating potato chips

4. Pass up a free book

5. Stay off the internet

6. Stop coveting more purses

7. Think I have enough books

Seven Things that Attract Me to My Spouse [romantic interest, best friend, whomever](not necessarily in this order!):

1. Oooh, he’s a cutie.

2. He plays volleyball! I love volleyball. Plus he’s athletic.

3. Hey, he’s an engineer, he’s smart

4. He’s got a sense of humor, at least

5. He plays guitar! He’s musical!

6. He emailed me! Hey, it’s mutual!

7. He doesn’t seem like he has too much emotional baggage or a side-life as an ax-murderer.

Seven Things I Say (or write!) Most Often:

1. LOL

2. You know what I mean?

3. Idiot/stupid (usually when driving)

4. Brat (usually at Heather)

5. OH MY GOSH!!!

6. Hello?

7. What—blah blah blah?

12.04.2005 I forgot to add "dork."

Seven Books (or series) I Love:

1. Bible

2. Anything by Kathy Tyers

3. Anything by Betty Neels

4. Anything by Grace Livingston Hill

5. Everything by Jane Austen

6. Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha mangas

7. Harry Potter

Seven Movies I Would Watch Over and Over Again:

1. BBC Pride and Prejudice—heck, most Jane Austen movies

2. Firefly

3. martial arts movies, for the great fight scenes

4. Most old-fashioned musical films, especially Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers, for the terrific dance scenes

5. Bubblegum Crisis, the old one and the new version

This is too hard, there aren’t too many movies I’d watch over and over.

12/04/2005 I can't believe I forgot Lord of the Rings!!! I would definitely watch those over and over again.

Seven People I Want to Join in: (be tagged)

1. Heather

2. Pammer

3. Squirl

4. Mir

5. Mary G.

6. Dream

7. Paula

Knee: The physical therapist kicked my butt yesterday. My IT Band was tight so she massaged it, which was about as pleasant as a bar brawl and just as painful.

I’ve also been getting a terrible upper back ache from the limping and uneven distribution of weight when I sit and stand. Please pray if you get a chance.

Writing: Commiserated with Robin on contest judges who tell you to do stupid things that are completely against good writing craft.

Doing critiques today, after doing so much website work yesterday.

Camy, I just have to say I think you're the coolest. I mean that. Your honesty is a hoot.

LOL, I almost put on my list of things that I say, "Idiot", usually when driving" but then thought, no, you'll end up getting an intervention about love thy neighbor, so I took it off. But, you know, there really are a lot of people who drive like idiots and since I've become a Christian, at least I've stopped flipping them off. Baby steps :)

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible , and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me. Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues a larger story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy. Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience. If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you. Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start. ✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader...

Mon afghan

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.24.2009 I am extraordinarily proud of this. For Christmas, I wanted to knit something for my parents that would be really cool and personal, and sort of an heirloom. So I took the five family crests I had for my family (in Japanese, a family crest is called a “mon”) and graphed the designs on knitting graph paper so that I could knit intarsia panels of the mons. I knit 5 intarsia panels and 4 plain panels and then sewed them together to make an afghan. In Japan, family crests are carried by both male and female, so I used mons from both my parents' sides. Traditionally, mons are passed down from mother to daughter and from father to son, but there are sometimes cases of a son taking a mother’s mon or a husband taking his wife’s family’s mon and things like that. I know we have more than 5 family crests, but we’ve lost some of them. My mom tried to find them all several years ago, but could only find these five. The fans mon was actually...
