Perky Happy Stuff!

Summer is almost over!

Boo hoo hoo!

I figured we all needed a perky happy stuff post today.


1. If you are looking for only Perky Happy News, check out my Twitter account called @PerkyHappyStuff. It's fun! Tell your friends. (I must admit my life has gotten considerably better since changing my homepage from CNN news to Google.)

2. Sunflowers are happy.

3. Puppies are happy.

4. Cupcakes are happy.

5. Hot air balloons are happy.

6. Hugh Jackman is happy. And perky. And....yeah!

7. This Pinterest board is happy... Daffodil Days.

8. Drinking all these cocktails would make me happy.

9. This cartoon is funny.

10. This painting of Dancing Cats by Sara Pulver is happy. (And available for purchase at her Etsy store!)

Hope you are all feeling happy, and perky, and stuff!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend,

Penelope

Happy Patriots Day!

Happy Patriots Day! Here in Massachusetts we are celebrating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.

It's also Boston Marathon Day. Good luck to all of the runners!

I have now officially entered the week known as SPRING BREAK. On the list for this week...

1. Spring cleaning.
2. Buying my daughter new clothes since she no longer fits into any of her stuff.
3. Reading Jesse Hayworth's novella Sunset at Keyhole Canyon (ARC)...coming out in May!


Jess Andersen, author of Harlequin medical stories and the UF series The Nightkeepers, is starting a cool new endeavor. She is publishing "fun, sassy contemporaries" as Jesse Hayworth. Why do I like this?

1. Jess is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth authors I have ever met.
2. I love the idea of an author branching out and trying new things. Not being afraid of risk.
3. We desperately need some positive stories in romance. I've personally had enough of the "a-hole hero" and that whole trend. Cripes.

Jesse Hayworth has her novella Sunset at Keyhole Canyon coming out in May.

Summer at Mustang Ridge is coming out in June.

And finally, Winter at Mustang Ridge will be out in December.

I can't wait to read these. Giddy up, cowboy! (I wonder if any of the cowboys have a beard? I'd even be happy with some scruff).

And finally, as my friend Sam Wayland put it, Twitter broke me.

Yes, it broke me like a wild stallion.

Too many negative, horrible news stories and links. Folks being mean and judgmental. I need something perky, dammit! Perky and happy and positive...and rainbows and unicorns...

Do you like my unicorn?

So, I started a new Twitter account. Please follow if you are so inclined! It's called @PerkyHappyStuff, and I will post only happy news. Cute puppy pics. Uplifting stories. Vintage Britney Youtube videos. If you have any happy news, send it my way.


In related news, I got my sparkly unicorn temporary tattoos from Amazon. I have to hide them from my 10 year old daughter.

Hope everyone has a great week!
