Six-Sentence Saturday 06/02/2012

Happy June, everybody!

First, I'd like to announce our WINNER for the UNICORN KEEP contest. Here is a snapshot of the Random Number Generator I used to pick our lucky number:

Since six is closer to five rather than to eight, our winner is...

SHAUNA!

Shauna, congratulations. Please contact me through the Contact Me button on the left, and I'll send you a gift certificate code so you can download a copy of Angelia's previous book, HORSE CHARMER, from the Smashwords website.

Now, for six sentences:

1.) I'm loving the warmth outside. It's about 8:15am, and I don't need a sweater for outside.

2.) Just finished DRAGON'S KEEP by Janet Lee Carey, and I thought the writing was beautiful.

3.) There's something about a warmish peach that just tastes so divine.

4.) I seriously want an iPad.

5.) Hurray for the second day of NaNoWriMo! Revisions are still going well. :)

6.) I'm taking my li'l sister to her baseball game. It should be fun.

That's all for today. Once more, congrats on the win, Shauna!

There's a Contest going on!

Hurry on over, peeps! There's a writing contest going on right now, and you are all invited. Remember, the winner gets an authentic little Writing Buddy made by moi, so it's extra-specially cool.

Hope to see you all over at Cat's Mathoms.

Cheerio!

Six-Sentence Saturday

1.) My friend is up, and I really enjoy not having anything to do.

2.) Swimming is my favourite form of exercise.

3.) If you haven't seen the TV show "Leverage", you really should rent it and check it out... Eliot Spencer is AWESOME!!

4.) Frappuccinos are best when drunk with friends.

5.) I'd rather go swimming at the beach with my family than get a gym pass and go swimming with a lot of unknown people.

Okay, now for the fun news!!! My contest will air on August first, and be open for submissions for two weeks. It will be a writing contest, of course! Full contest rules will appear on August first, on my website at Cat's Mathoms. Remember, the winner gets this little guy!

Stay tuned!!

The Feast of St. James

I really love my saints. They're like my best friends. The only difference between my flesh-and-blood best friend here on earth, and all the saints in heaven, is basically that. They are in heaven. The nice thing is, they're rooting for me to get there, too. :)

Today we celebrate the feast of St. James the Greater, one of Our Lord's twelve apostles. He was a fascinating saint, full of fire and spirit. He is usually called "the Greater", because of the twelve apostles two were named James, and the other was known as James the Less. This was not because the James of today's feast WAS greater. No. He was called that simply because he was taller, or "greater" in stature, while St. James the Less was shorter, or "less" of stature.

He was the brother to St. John the apostle. They were collectively known as "the sons of Zebedee", and later, Christ nicknamed them the "sons of thunder", for they were very, very quick-tempered and impulsive.

St. James the Greater was the first of the twelve apostles to be martyred.

You can read more about him at this lovely blog post here: Roman Christendom, and also at this site: National Catholic Reporter.

For a little exciting news, stay tuned, 'cause there's going to be a contest here! You know my little clay critters? Check out the fellow below:

 

Yep, he's going to up for grabs! Do you want him? Huh? Do you? You know you do!! He's the Writing Buddy.
I'll post more contest details later. For right now, drool. Just drool.

Here's a napkin. Don't forget to clean up after yourselves!!
