Thank You All for Your Kindness…

About the above graphic although my Daisy Mae is no longer with me I will probably always use some graphic with her name on it or her picture so I hope you don’t mind.

I would like to thank everyone for their kindness after the loss of Daisy Mae whether you sent me a card or an email or commented on my post with kind words I want you to all know I appreciated it.

Since I am still mourning the loss of my fur baby and still recuperating from some health issues I will be taking a break from posting and try to get to your blogs as soon as I can.

Thank You for your understanding.

Daisy Mae Earns Her Wings…

DAISY MAE IN HER RED HAT AFTER BECOMING A CROTCHETY COUGAR.

I write this post with a heavy Heart and plenty of tears in my Eyes because my little Daisy Mae tragically and very suddenly has earned her wings to be a full fledged  Angel  like her Sister Tigger, so what happened you ask? Well honestly I really don’t know. but here is what I do know and I have it divided into what happened each day:

Monday February 5...

 This day started out like any other day and Daisy Mae was fine that Morning then when 9 PM Eastern Time rolled around she was fine when I went upstairs to my Bedroom and no sooner I had got comfortable with my computer on my lap than I started hearing this horrendous yelping and at first I thought it was a cat fight outside but the more I listened it seem to be closer than outside and when I went downstairs I was horrified at what I found, you see my Dad found Daisy Mae at the bottom of our Basement stairs and he had to carry her up because her back Feet were flat out and she just did not have the strength to even hold her backend up and although Dad had put her at her food dish she was more interested in and focused on trying to get up and make her little Feet go but unfortunately she just did not have the strength to achieve that and that Night we knew that we would have to contain her somehow so we decided to put her in a White cooler to contain her and sadly she suffered all Night long and we knew this because we could tell she was in so much pain because she yelped all Night long. 

Tuesday February 6...

Of course hated that my little sweet and adorable Daisy Mae had to suffer so but since myself and the rest of my family didn’t get any sleep the Night before and we were all up early eating our Breakfast and ready to meet the day and after I got dressed Dad and I took her to the Vet for a trip we just didn’t want to do but it was the most humane thing at the time we could have done for her. The Doctor and her Technicians treated us very well and we could not have been treated any better, they wrapped her in a pink blanket and put her between Dad and I as we talked to her through the whole procedure as Dad and I helped her across the Rainbow Bridge to be welcomed by her Sister Tigger. Since we chose to take her home and burry her beside her Sister Tigger, the Vet and her Technicians took her to the back and wrapped Daisy Mae  up in a gorgeous White Silk Blanket.

It has been a rough few days actually a rough week for my family and I and we miss Daisy Mae terribly so please bear with me because I probably won’t get to your blogs right away plus WordPress well… ever since they changed things they keep pausing all posts to come to me or block them completely without my knowledge so as of now WordPress is refusing to send me your posts for whatever reason. I wanted to write a poem about her but at this time I just couldn’t maybe when things get better.

I miss you Daisy Mae my little Crotchety Cougar,

Mother Sister Crystal

FRIENDLY FILL – INS

1. may clean up some, but I find that highly unlikely.

2I keep forgetting that not all Cats liked to be picked up or have their Tummy rubbed.

3This time of year, warm registers are my favorite tret to enjoy.

4Halloween costumes scares me more than seeing Mom Sister Crystal go without her makeup all the time.

Please NoteThe first two were done by me and numbers 3 & 4 were done by Daisy Mae.

Happy 17th Birthday Daisy Mae!!

Where Have Daisy Mae & I Been?: Update

DAISY MAE IN HER RED HAT AFTER BECOMING A CROTCHETY COUGAR.

Hi Everyone although I have posted some here and there I thought after some of you reached out to see if everything is OK with us and where we have been, I thought I would update you with what has been going on. It seems that ever since I have got over COVID then against my better judgement I got a COVID Vaccine which I regret doing now because ever since I did I have been sick. Since My Mother is completely immobile I’m a Full Time Caregiver for her and help my Dad out when needed. This Summer has been a very busy one since three of my Nieces got married so the family grew by three. As for Daisy Mae well she will be turning 17 on Sept. 12 and my Tabby Cat Tigger died on Sept. 11 so will be having her Death Anniversary and my Grandmother died on Sept. 11 so things have been quite busy here.

Daisy Mae I send our best to everyone.

Crystal’s Answers

1. Why people think money solves everything is something that boggles my mind.

2. I hope to do some organizing this Summer.

3. I could really use some recommendations for organizing books better.

4. Being a volunteer reviewer wasn’t my best idea.

Daisy Mae’s Answers

1. Why some humans don’t like Cats is something that boggles my mind.

2. I hope to find more sunpuddles to lay in and take my catnaps this Summer.

3. I could really use some recommendations for how to help Santa give Mom Crystal what she really wants for her Birthday and Christmas.

4. Tearing out my fur and eating it wasn’t my best idea.

If I Had A Pen Name What Would It Be?

Since I write in different genres, I find myself every now and then I write books in heat levels from 3+ and up and therefore have created myself a Pen Name which is Madame C. I honestly do not know why I like reading and writing steamy novels but I find it fun and relaxing.

Before you judge me, you should know there used to be a time I hated reading and writing books like this then I expanded my reading to read a book at least once just to see if I like it. Books like this are well an escape to me. Maybe it’s because I am single and are itching for that second chance with that boy who is now a man now but either way my Heart and I both want that second chance. Now I get that steamy books aren’t everyone’s thing and I respect that but I also ask that you respect the fact that I like some Romance books too. 

am romantic at Heart and actually I think I always have been. I don’t know about anyone else but I have been reading Harlequin Romances and yes SMUT books too for as long as I can remember. Maybe that is my Problem, when I was a teenager I got an an unexpected pleasant surprise, the best looking guy was actually paying attention to me. Did he have his own agenda? I believe he did because my theory always has been that he tried to use Love as a bullying tactic. The Result: He paid for it dearly. How? He developed feelings and yes possibly even Love with a girl who was considered an outcast, shy wallflower and very unpopular. Sadly he made his choice which was to leave without a word to me and over well… almost 40 years I have never heard from nor do I know where he is or what he is doing and yes I want to know those things. Maybe someday we will find one another again even just to talk to but I do know one thing and that is I will always love him no matter what and I believe there is someone out there for and boy do I hope I find him soon.

Another Book Finished & A Big Book More Than Halfway Done

finished another book and as of last night I am more than halfway done with my next book which is going to be my first Big Book and by Big Book I mean around 90,000 to 100,000 words. Actually as of last Night I am at 71,049 words and still writing. That means I’ve finished 13 chapters and halfway through chapter 14 in writing my Big book and still writing. GO ME!!  I’m very happy so far that I have accomplished this much and hope to write more books. If you been keeping up with my updates then you know that I’ve been writing a lot and although I don’t pick a certain genre to write in, it seems lately my characters want me to be in Romance and right now a love triangle and then some. Surprisingly I find myself just loving to write for fun. I can finally use my wild ideas from my imagination that are so a mish mash until I get them typed out. Do I Love It? You bet I do, very much so!!

thank everyone for their support.

4Mother Nature really needs to let the sun shine and warm things up.

Two Books Completed And A Third Book Started

YEAH HAVE GONE AND DONE ITYes I have. So what have I gone and done? Well… between helping take care of my Mother who can not walk and is in her Lift Chair 24/7 and recovering from an accident in December, a later accident and then one where I did a literal Face plant and did my shoulder in I somehow found time to complete two books and start another one. To give you an idea of my books here are the titles of my books and OH yeah there is a good chance there might be a fourth book too. So the titles of my books are as follows: The Hot, Sexy, Clueless, Arrogant, Cocky, Obstinate Cocky, Bachelor & The Unexpected Heir: Book 1, The Most Unexpected, Beautiful & Gorgeous Engagement Of The Century: Book 2 and the book I just started is entitled: The Most Beautiful & Gorgeous Wedding Of The Century: Book 3.

Somehow have managed to get three chapters finished and a fourth chapter started which means I’m at 13,858 words. I am trying to get to Novel Length which is 40,000 words which means I only have 26,142 words to go which for me is very easy at least for me it is since I’m very wordy LOL. I will try to keep you updated every now and then. Wish Me Luck.

 

My New Addition To My Family

MY NEWEST ADDITION TO MY NUTCRACKER FAMILY!!No No I didn’t go and get pregnant but I did at this cute Nutcracker to my Nutcracker Family. You see I collect Nutcrackers and this is my first drawing/painting of a Nutcracker. The above drawing/painting is by Carolina Russo an excellent artist and she even has her own blog and Etsy store. Another drawing Carolina Russo did for me is from to separate picture of my Cats Tigger & Daisy Mae. She took both pictures and then drew both Cats on an 8 x10 picture. She did an excellent job on this drawing as well. The picture of Tigger & Daisy Mae that Carolina Russo drew for me is below.
DAISY MAE IS THE CAT LYING DOWN ON THE BED AND TIGGER IS THE CAT ON THE BED LOOKING AT THE CAMERA.
PICTURE IS DRAWN BY CAROLINA RUSSO.

was introduced to Carolina Russo through a contest actually and I was the lucky winner of that Drawing and it was beautiful. From there I liked her drawings and paintings so much I have bought several more for myself not just the two shown above and I have bought some as gifts too. This woman definitely has a gift and I should mention she does custom drawings where you ask her to draw something for you.

What Do Cupid, A Feisty Redhead & A Flirty Good Looking Guy All Have In Common…?

Does my title of my blog most sound like the starting of a bad joke, well I assure you it’s not but it is how my high school years started out and ended all at the same time. To put everything in a nutshell you will read about some brief happenings that actually did happen and boy do I ever hope the flirty good looking bully reads this post and yes he knows who he is and I hope he comments too. 

 

CupidFeisty Redhead  Flirty Good Looking Guy

When Cupid sets out on a mission to bring a couple together he doesn’t care where they are and I can verify this because Cupid found not only me but some flirty good looking bully. As the saying goes always be leary of something that seems to good to be true but then despite all the alarm bells in my Gut telling me this guy is just going to cause you heartache and trouble but I stopped listening to my Gut when my Heart took over when the good looking guy started flirting with me and not just one or two times either the whole way through high school. The flirting started innocently enough but never in my wildest dreams did I think a guy that what us adult women call well… man candy and I assure you he is the exact definition of man candy good looking and clueless. Eventually after awhile he convinced me he had feelings for me not to mention he also convinced me to love him.

After many years waiting for him to ask me out which he never did do, being a Redhead I was a feisty and somewhat bold girl so what did I do but confront when he was alone by the lockers and I asked him out and what happened next was was something I definitely was not suspecting he would do. OH sure I expected that he would tell me no but at the same time I was hoping for the best but then he yelled and screamed his answer which was a big fat no but then he went on a yelling and screaming rant that was so bad that I could not understand what he was saying. Girls when a guy tells you that phrase me thinks the lady protests to much when you deny liking someone guess what, I can wholeheartedly verify that it happens to men too. How do I know this well because I confronted this guy and he screamed a yelled so much and was so adamant that he did not have feelings and was protesting so much it was quite obvious that because he was protesting so much he was denying any feelings he had so in this guy’s case I would say me thinks the guy protests to much. Although I may have walked away disappointed, I also walked away with a smug happy look on my face because what I reading in his body language, his smiles, his quick stares, his long stares and his Eyes were that he was a guy that had feelings for a very unpopular girl – Me.

After he had told me no, screamed and yelled at me and was so adamant that it wasn’t funny I thought he would quit his flirting with but OH NO he continued flirting with me and showing me that he had feelings he gave me the best gifts I could have gotten from anyone and I got them from a good looking flirty guy who was also probably my bully. You all must realize he didn’t give me physical gifts but the better kind the kind I really needed and those gifts he gave to me were Compassion, Hope and the best gift he gave me was Love so I must thank him for that and if he ‘s reading this because of him he’s the one that convinced me to fall hard in love with him and because of this, I will always remember him and love him no matter what and whatever he is doing I hope he is happy. 

So in the end Cupid completed most of his mission because his arrows hit the bullseye on both Hearts of the Feisty Redhead and the Flirty Good Looking Guy who might be a bully too and though Cupid tried with all his power and might the Flirty Good Looking Guy denied his feelings for the Feisty Redheaded girl and left her scorned without a word of explanation. When True Love comes a knocking let it happen and don’t deny it because you never know when it will show up. May True Love find you all!! 

  

 

When Love Comes Knocking…

When Love Comes Knocking

When Love comes knocking don’t ignore it because you never know when Love comes for you and when it does it will take hold of you in ways that you never expected so do everything to hold onto that Love that has found you including fighting for it because all is fair in Love and War. Just because you don’t win the battle and the war right doesn’t mean you have lost but the exact opposite my friends. May True Love find you!!
