Busted. Time to get out the bar soap.

Well, Lone Star Trouble just earned its lowest rating to date, a "3 books", which I assume is out of 5 possible.

Looks like the reviewer did not appreciate my heroine swearing like a cowgirl. In fact, she actually used the term "potty mouth". LOL. Apparently Kiersten's language and attitude took away from the love story. (and we all know how girls who use 4 letter words never fall in love) I can respect that some people don't appreciate language. However, I'm not certain how many books without it those people can find to review. And I'm a little surprised the same person who was bothered by swearing didn't have an earful to say about Kiersten's gay best friend. But, maybe the review site wouldn't allow that type of opinion to be expressed. Ah, well. You can't win 'em all, and she did say it was "entertaining".

You can read the full review here.

Turkey Tuesday

Wild turkeys are thriving in our area lately and a family of them (I hate to say "flock" becaause there are only 7 - maybe a "band" or a "gang"?) live near our house so we see them on the way to school and back every day.

Anyway, the kids and I were talking about how for the longest time, these turkeys just scratched and pecked at the roadside, without ever actually being on the road. However, the last few days they've taken up scurrying to the other side the second we're passing them. And hubby said he'd had one of them stand right in the road and look at his truck the day before.

So 'Fuscius Junior says...

...wait for it...

"It was playing chicken."

New and bettah

Came across a whole new word in the process of editing today. The word I was going for was "confused" but I ended up with "confusted".

And... wow. It just hit me. Confusted perfectly describes how somebody looks when they're totally lost, no?

Love it!

Happy Friday.
