Hubby challenge

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.04.2009

I got tagged by my good friend, inspirational thriller author Ronie Kendig!

Here's a chance to see how well you really know your husband. The real challenge is to send it to your husband to see how right you really are.

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? Sports Center

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? Italian

3. What's one food he doesn't like? Mayonnaise and/or mustard

4. You go out to eat and have a drink. What does he get? Water or Dr. Pepper

5. Where did he go to high school? Arizona

6. What size shoe does he wear? 11? (Urg—he’s a size 10, I went to the garage to check the shoe shelf)

7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? keychains

8. What is his favorite type of sandwich? Philly Cheesesteak with those sweet/hot peppers

9. What would this person eat every day if he could? Rib eye steak

10. What is his favorite cereal? Bran Buds. It’s not really his favorite cereal, but he does eat it everyday to, um ... keep him regular.

11. What would he never wear? Pink (stole this one from Ronie)

12. What is his favorite sports team? Arizona Cardinals and Suns

14. Who is his best friend? Me? Well, he hangs out with me the most, anyway. I don’t think he’s really bestest friends with anyone. Maybe Byron.

15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do? Get water behind the sink spout. When I was living in Hawaii, that annoyed my dad, too.

16. What is his heritage? 3rd generation Chinese American

17. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind of cake? I don’t bake, but if I did, it would be Death By Chocolate with Chocolate Decadence frosting and Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream.

18. Did he play sports in high school? Basketball

19. What could he spend hours doing? Surfing the Internet

20. What is one unique talent he has? He puts up with me!

This is too cool! Can I swipe it?

And I have to concur with Captain Caffeine... the whole water behind the sink spout thing drives me nuts! Well, not the actual act of getting the water there, it's when my kids leave it there that makes me looney. My kids don't really care though lol.

I think I'm gonna have to get in on this. But I must warn y'all, I've been married to the guy for 25yrs, and I know him better than he knows himself by now.:-D

I’m done

Captain’s Log, Stardate 05.17.2006 Blog book giveaway: My Thursday book giveaway is THE PREACHER’S DAUGHER by Lyn Cote My Monday book giveaway is BLIND DATES CAN BE MURDER by Mindy Starns Clark . You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for THE PREACHER’S DAUGHTER and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned. I’m done. At the beginning of the year, I made a goal of three books this year. That’s four months per book. I started this manuscript January 15th. I finished in the wee hours of May 17th, so it took me about four months, a day and a few hours. Yay me. I’m going to bed now. Yes, this is the espresso maker on the right, and a professional coffee grinder on the left. By the espresso maker, I mean the one I promised to my long-suffering husband if I got a book contract, as a reward for letting me quit my biotech job and write full-time.

Romantic guys

Captain’s Log, Stardate 10.13.2006 Heroes: I’m a TV junkie, I admit it. I’m hooked on the new series called Heroes. (It’s like X-Men, but before they realized their powers and came together to become the X-Men. And without the funky costumes.) Okay, regardless of the X-Men type storyline, one of the heroines—a high school girl—is talking to a boy she likes, the quarterback of the football team. He’s sweet-talking her and being very flattering. She says he doesn’t really know her very well. He goes into this romantic spiel about how he notices she draws unicorns in the margins of her notes in class, etc. Now here I pause the TiVo and turn to Captain Caffeine. Skeptical Asian wife: “That’s so un-guy-like! How realistic is it for a typical guy to say something eloquent and romantic like that?” Captain Caffeine: “It sounds romantic because he’s the quarterback of the football team.” Confused Asian wife: “What do you mean?” Captain Caffeine: “If he were a computer geek, he would sound like...

ICRS Tuesday

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.11.2007 I started the day with a great meeting with Al Hsu , an editor at InterVarsity Press. We discussed Asian Americans—fiction, non-fiction, the church, family. He’s been in publishing for many years and is very wise. We had a great discussion. I also met his wife Ellen, who’s totally nice and is also into card-making! I wandered the floor and happened to meet Robin Jones Gunn. She asked if I’d eaten yet, and since I hadn’t, said to join her for lunch. On the way to lunch, we met Mark Mynheir, and he gave me a copy of his book, got The Void . Isn’t that cool? Robin has so much wisdom. I loved having lunch with her. She gave me such good advice, both professionally and spiritually. I hope I’ll get a chance to have lunch or dinner with her at the ACFW conference in September. I met up with agent Steve Laube, and walked with him to his next meeting, but on the way we were hailed by Cec Murphy and agent Jeff Dunn. Jeff had been the first editor to request...

I GOT A CONTRACT!

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.29.2006 I had a wonderfully funny blog post planned for today, but I got sidetracked by some news yesterday! Zondervan has offered me a three-book contract on my Asian chick-lit series ! I’m still stunned by everything that’s happened. The series is actually a 4-book projected Asian chick-lit series about four cousins who fall under the infamous family title "Oldest Single Female Cousin," and their ruthless, wealthy grandma applies pressure on each of them to improve their lack of love interests. I think the first book is tentatively scheduled to be released in August 2007. The blurb on the series is on my website here . Brandilyn Collins posted to the ACFW loop about my writing journey, and Tamara Cooper asked that I share it. And since you all know how much I like to talk , here it is. My writing journey: Like most writers, I have wanted to write since I was very young. (In high school, I wrote a fantasy novel that will never see the light of day ...

Ironman

Captain's Log, Stardate 11.12.2008 I realize I’m late in posting this, but I just saw Ironman a couple weeks ago and it was FABULOUS! It was the most entertaining movie I’ve seen in a long time. I even liked it better than Mr. and Mrs. Smith (although that flick is a close second). I think because the acting was great. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow were fantastic. I especially liked how the Pepper character is an older woman with more maturity than, say, MaryJane in Spiderman . Pepper was strong, intelligent, and relatively cool under fire. And did you guys catch the Easter Egg at the end of the credits??? Awesome!!!
