Thursday Thirteen #13

My lovely daughter turned 13 on Tuesday so this Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to her. Below find 13 wonderful memories with my daughter. Not necessarily in order!

1. The day she was born. It was Sunday afternoon, August 28, 1994.
2. Her first word. I tried so hard to get her to say Daddy but her first word was dog. She loved our dog from the first time she was able to turn her head and look at him.
3. Her first steps were at her Nana’s house. She was 10 months old.
4. The first time she really laughed. There is nothing like the laughter of a baby.
5. Her first day of school. She was so excited but I cried.
6. The day when she was three years old and she came with her father to pick me up at the airport. I’d been gone over night and I really missed her. She wore a dress because she was excited to have me come home. At that stage, she was refusing to wear dresses.
7. When my mom was alive, she spoiled my daughter rotten. One day we were at a store and she wanted something. I don’t remember what it was but I said no. Of course, my mom bought it anyway. As soon as Mom gave it to my daughter, she smiled at her and said, “sucker”. I’m not sure how old she was but she was young. All I could do was laugh.
8. Every day my daughter still kisses me goodbye in the morning and goodnight as she goes to bed. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
9. Rocking her to step when she was a baby. Then just holding her and watching her breathe.
10. Playing I love you more, when she was little. She would keep it up forever. Sometimes I can still get her to do it.
11. Teaching her to read. Unfortunately, she didn’t inherit my love of reading but she is an excellent reader.
12. The day she cut a bunch of my flowers and brought them to me as a bouquet. I couldn’t be mad at her.
13. It’s almost impossible to pick out 13 favorite memories. Every day, every hug, every kiss is special. I cherish every moment with her. (Well, almost every moment )

Life as I know it is over!

Today my baby girl turns 13! I'm not sure where the time has gone just yesterday she started school or it seems that way. Now, she's a young lady and a beautiful young lady too. I can only imagine the horrors of the next few years. My husband is considering leaving home until she turns 21. I almost feel sorry for her future boyfriends for I know he'll grill them to no end.

She is our one and only daughter and we've love to keep her young forever. Baring that I'd like to fast forward to her finishing college, getting married and producing grandchildren.

I can wish, I do write fantasy afterall.

Modern day Abbott & Costello

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...?

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:




COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

42 and counting!

Today is my birthday! What have I learned in 42 years? Well, I've learned alot but most of it is useless or can't be mentioned here
I have learned that life goes on even when you don't want it to.
If you are ambitious enough you can make your dreams reality.
If you get up on the wrong side of the bed. Lay back down and try it again.

Most importantly, I've learned that without family and friends you have nothing. (This includes my online friends.)

Feral Lust releases today!

Feral Lust by L.A. Day
Available today at Ellora's Cave.

Feral Lust

Excerpt:
By the time she’d finished eating, she’d polished off her third glass of wine. “I’m stuffed.” She laughed, rolling over on the blanket and patting her flat stomach. “My jeans are too tight.”

“Take ‘em off.” Leon flashed a feral grin. “If it’d make you feel better, I’ll take mine off too.”

“Ha, real funny.” Scooping up a handful of cut flowers, she buried her heated cheeks in the array, sniffing the fragrant blossoms.

“Don’t you trust me?” Leon purred.

“Maybe, I don’t trust myself.” Her eyes fluttered up to meet his lust-filled gaze.

Leon’s grin vanished as he silently watched her. Golden eyes gleamed as he rolled to her side. “Leon,” she gasped breathlessly. His nearness played havoc with her nerves.

“Shh, I won’t do anything you don’t want.” Thick fingers rubbed her belly in slow but tight circles.

“But…”

“Riza, I know you’re innocent. Trust me.”

Biting her bottom lip, she studied him. He hovered over her, the feral predator waiting to pounce. An involuntary shiver rocked her frame. Her pussy quivered from just the brush of his big body as he settled close to her and she clenched her damp thighs together. Her arousal fragranced the air and she knew he could smell her ripe scent. The scent that proclaimed she was nearing her heat cycle. Honorable males didn’t dally with females in heat unless they had serious intentions and she held that thought dearly as she made her decision. Throwing caution to the wind, she nodded. “Okay.”

A grin split his handsome face and her heart turned over. Oh lord, she would probably regret this.

His head lowered until his lips brushed her cheek. “Your skin is so soft,” he whispered at her ear. “I want to taste you.” His tongue dipped into her ear and she gasped as tingling sensations rode her spine.

“Leon.”

“Relax,” he purred, his hand sliding from her hip to just below her left breast. “I won’t take you but I need to touch you, taste you. I need to see if you’re real, if what I feel is real.” His ardent plea stirred her deeply.
