Writing Update & Update on Me

 

Hi EveryoneI thought I would pop in and let you all know how I am  doing so as things usually go they rarely turn out as planned and but my silver lining in losing my little fur Baby if there is one, I have seen a lot of Cardinals and Butterflies 🦋 even caught a Butterfly 🦋 to save it so I could let it go and fly away and visit someone else who needed cheering up and their spirits lifted up  and as for me I am feeling better but not back to 100% quite yet but I would say I am probably at 95% right now give or take a few percentage points  I have even started to to do some decluttering which I procrastinated on major big time.

also thought I would update you on my writing and surprisingly I have written in the project I am working on now about 4 1/2 books are completed in the box se project I’m working on and not really sure how many books there will be but right now there is tentatively 6 and before that I completed like 3-4 books, so I have been a busy little girl. In all reality’s sake, it’s been really good therapy for me. 

Well that is all for now and thanks again for your kindness and 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

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.

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.

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!! 

  

 

Why I Don’t Celebrate Valentine’s Day…

First let me say Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate this special day.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day and if you do what are your plans? To answer your question Do I celebrate Valentine’s Day? I used to until high school then things took a turn for the worse. So what happened? The boy that led me to believe he had feelings for me & convinced me to fall in Love with him scorned me then once in college things got worse. Some of my so called friends pushed me into a blind date then went on the date with us. Not my idea of a date. Then the same guy I went out with on the blind date well… that was on Valentine’s Day then my so called friends started taking bets on whether or not we’d date a year. The result: A year later that guy dumped me on Valentine’s Day then Valentine’s Day is really just another day to a single person if they don’t have a spouse or significant other and that is what February 14 is to me just another day. My Valentine I guess will have to be my Cat Daisy Mae.

Completed: Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor…

am so excited, I finally completed Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor… in which this book is not only a Romance book but a Second Chance Romance that has a lot of twists and turns in the plot to keep things interesting. Writing this book was fun, stress free and I had so much fun writing it and I think the main reason is I wrote my book from all the ideas in my mind, my imagination and my fantasies of how things might have turned out not to mention I got some of my ideas for this book from my life experiences too. Believe it or not but I always wondered what things would be like if things turned out the way you thought they should. You know what they say about Love, you may try to forget but the heart wants what the heart wants and I should mention this book is Fiction and any similarities are just that similarities.

I just started writing another book and I am hoping to have it done by December 31, 2023 but if not no big deal. I will tell you this book that I just started writing is about a girl who goes to college and gets a dual Doctorate Degree and as usual my ideas are from my imagination, wishful thinking and so much more. Still haven’t decided  what the title for my my next book will be for sure.  I finished my book on Jan. 23, 2023. I started another one on Jan. 26, 2023. We’ll see how that goes.

 

 

A Secret Paw Reveal & Thank You!!

Hi Everyone Daisy Mae Here with Mom Sister Crystal. I am here to reveal my Secret Paw & Thank them. So why did I take so long to reveal my Secret Paw & thank them? Well… everything was going OK then life through us some major curve balls & when I say major I mean Mom Sister Crystal’s Mom was in and out of the Hospital, she had to be in the Hospital over Christmas & now she is in a nursing home she’s not crazy about. To say the least things have been frustrating & chaotic not to mention hectic around the Stewart household.

My Secret Paws were Charlemagne & Tamar & the funny & ironic part of Secret Paws 2022 was we were each others Secret Paw. So thank you Charlemagne & Tamar for the Catnip, the soft snuggle mat, all the play toys you got me & a special thank you from Mom Sister Crystal she really liked reading the letter and we hope you all had a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year.

Thanks Again,

Crystal Daisy Mae
