Celebrate the Small Things - That's a wrap!

Hi, everyone!  I hope your 2016 is off to a great start!  I am currently persona non grata, at least where my cats are concerned.  I took them to the vet yesterday, and they still haven't forgiven me for it.  I'm hoping to be back in their good graces by the end of the weekend, and I think the liberal application of treats may help my cause...

Happier times...

This week, I'm celebrating the submission of my July release, Enticed by the Operative!  I sent the manuscript to my editor, so now I'm turning my attention to the next book while I wait to get the copy edits back.  I always have mixed emotions when I finish a book--overwhelming relief that it's done, but also a little bit of sadness that I have to leave the characters behind.  Anyone else feel the same way?

What are you celebrating this week?  Any big plans for the weekend?  Tell me about it!

If you've been reading my blog, you know that Fridays are reserved for a post where I celebrate the little things that have happened during the week. This is a blog hop created by Vikki and now hosted by Lexa Cain, and it's one of my favorite blogging things to do.  I encourage you to check out her blog and the full list of participants, because who doesn't love reading about good things?

Happy Day!

On this day 6 years ago (I can't believe it's been that long!) I brought home two furry little ones from the local animal shelter. They were terribly shy and deeply mistrustful.  As they'd spent the majority of their 9 months on earth in a cage, I couldn't really blame them.  Gradually, they came out of their shells, and though they still refuse to sit on my lap or let me pick them up, they show their affection in their own special way.

Except to Mister.

While they will sleep on his clothes, his pillow, even his shoes, they draw the line at letting him pet them unless the circumstances are truly dire (i.e. I'm out of town).  Still, we do all get along :)

Happy adoption day, boys!  I'm so glad you picked me!

From the shelter...

To the counter.  Still inseparable :)

Do you have any pets?  How did they find you?
