So, on Thursday, I made a trek to Wal-Mart to buy groceries and exciting things like deodorant and grass seed to plant in the part of the yard where we just had a tree taken out. While there, I cruised by the books section just to see if maybe my book was out on the shelf a little early. It was!!! It was surreal to see copies of A Firefighter in the Family on a store shelf for the first time. I even called my husband at work to tell him. Did I have a camera with me? No. So, I plan to trek to a bookstore this weekend with a camera and the hubby. Perhaps the one that’s next to Best Buy because hubby really wants to buy Spore, the new video game that comes out tomorrow.
Saw an article online this morning about the Top 20 TV Kisses. Among my favorites listed: Buffy and Angel (duh) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica and Logan from Veronica Mars, Ross and Rachel from Friends, and Mulder and Scully from The X-Files. See if you agree with the list. Do you think there are other great TV smooches that should have made the list?
As you can tell from my absence for a few days, I’ve been hard at work on the proposals to send to Harlequin American. I have all the synopses done now, and I finished up the chapters yesterday. I just have to go back through those chapters today to clean them up, then it’s off with the whole batch to my agent. Next up, reading a manuscript for Mary and working on workshops I’m giving in Maryland next weekend.

Congrats on seeing your book on the shelves. I agree with most of the choices on the list. One of my favorites is Kate and Sawyer’s kiss on “Lost.”

Woo hoo, book on the shelf! Gotta go get it myself.
I haven’t seen most of the kisses, but the ones I’ve seen definitely belong there. (Poor Spike! *sniff*)

YAY on seeing your book!
I agree with Kate and Sawyer, Ross and Rachel, Doug and Carol from ER, Luke and Lorelei from Gilmore Girls, Jim and Pam. I like Alex and Izzie together, but don’t think they belong in the top 20. Sydney and Vaughn from Alias, and Logan and Veronica.

Oh, yay!! Hmm… I’ll have to check out the shelves when I hit the stores next! Too exciting, Trish!

Thanks, everyone. I wonder if I will crack my face from smiling so much.
