A Beachy Jungle Madness Friday!
Well since this week marked the release of HEAT WAVE, a super-hot beach read, I thought I’d do a beachy summer giveaway today. To this week’s Jungle Madness Friday winner will receive some fun stuff for a day at the beach:
First, a beach umbrella to shield you from the sun:
Plus a neat little hammock to lay your head upon…
Add a box of salt water taffy (yummmmmmm)

And finally a sexy hot book to read! 
You know how to enter. Just leave a comment and you’re eligible!







TGIF! Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am! And another lovely prize from the Plotmonkeys - you are so good to us
Went and saw Harry Potter last night and enjoyed it. Since I had a gift card I went and got the 6 books in anticipation of the “rest of the story”. Life is good.

A terrific prize for on Friday the 13th…sounds wonderful! It would be great to have with our weather being humid and in the 90’s; I would head for the beach with the kids and while they enjoy the sand and water I could enjoy some relaxation and reading. Teen-agers don’t want adults bothering them anyway…they prefer I don’t even sit near them in case their friends are around.
Hope you are all having a ball in Dallas. Waiting to hear all about it and lots of pictures!!!

I’m off to a job interview. Hoping that this Friday the 13th is lucky.
