This is ruddy brilliant, Hellie! I can’t wait to see how we all jive together by week’s end.

As usual, this blogfest takes a life of its own. I won’t try to catch up here but I’ll say I don’t know enough about the archangels and would love to know more. I have read the bible and more than just what they read out loud in church on Sunday. Yes, that is rather unusual for a Catholic and one that doesn’t say she’s recovering or ex or whatever is in vogue today.

They were burning bras when I got my trainer, so I’m forever on the edge of that generation, lol.

I didn’t like The Ugly Truth or GoGP. Too rushed imho and the endings too contrived. Egads, I sound like an editor or agent. I wish they were better because I adore the actors in both.

I love Scrooged and just about all the versions of The Christmas Castle but my favorite by far is the Patrick Stewart version. I was lucky enough to see it in person on Broadway. It’s a one man show. The movie had a full cast.

And I can’t read Dickens either. I kind of wish they would publish him in installations. Maybe that was the draw – who knows.

I’m off to write a blog for my chapter. It’s due tomorrow. See Terri, you’re not alone in your pain, lol.

See you guys tomorrow!

We can say the others are the boy angels. It’s not like we called her the chick angel. (Though technically I didn’t call her anything, I just like to poke at you. LOL!)

Man, women fought to be called women and not girls! Not that grrl power be a bad thing… But that just cracked me up! The GIRL angel!

Yes, the male angels and the girl angel. A part of me is dyin’!

Don’t worry, Chance, I’m with ya. I know about the burning bras thing. I’m not old enough to remember it, but I’ve heard of it.

Di – I’d forgotten about that. I think many writers started out that way in the past. Now the only installments in the newspapers are As the Tiger Mistresses Turn. *sigh*

Hellion~ I love the idea of second chances and to me, that is the whole point of the story. I don’t like to read Dickins. Ugh! (Sorry a flashback to 9th grade english.)

Terri~I believe that many of Dickins stories were actually published in installments in the newspaper, originally.

I love Elf, I laugh all the way through it every time I see it.

There was a women’s movement?

I like that, Uriel is the girl angel. Not the woman angel, but the girl angel. And the women’s movement comes to a grindin’ halt aboard the Romance Writers Revenge.

Uriel, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael – I’m gonna have ta look up the archangels jus’ fer fun…

Bible? You mean that book we used ta shelf in mythology?

Yeah, we’re all goin’ ta hell in a handcart!

Sure you do. I’ll still find a reason to ship off your books.

Yeah, I didn’t think it was going to be too hard to figure out. And this way, I don’t have to ship off any of my books! LOL!

Oh wait, I really need to get rid of some of these.
