I read this about Olympic gymnast Paul Hamm today on Yahoo headlines.

I’m so bummed.

I love gymnastics. Both the guys and the girls. I was looking forward to Paul bring the pain, but…well at least his twin brother, Morgan, will be there. We’ll have to see.

Anyone else out there looking forward to watching the Olympics? What events will you be watching? It’ll be gymnastics, diving and swimming (but only when Michael Phelps is competing)

You’ve been reading the DA excerpt for a couple months now, so I have this to ask:

Are you liking the first person, present tense point of view or is it a little difficult? Do you think it would read better in first person, past tense?

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hope everyone had a great and safe Memorial Day. This should’ve have gone up yesterday, but I freely admit that I was too lazy to do so. I didn’t do a whole helluva lot this weekend, to tell the truth.

Saturday: read, did laundry, answered email, contacted photographers regarding family reunion next year

Sunday: read and did some more laundry

The hubby and I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull yesterday. Have you guys seen it yet? What did you think? I liked it. Don’t know if I would see it again, but I liked it. A couple of the stunts were a little over the top, but then again, it wouldn’t be an Indiana Jones movie without over the top stunts. I don’t remember what time period the first three were made in, but I liked the fact that this one was in the 50’s. Every time Shia whipped out his comb to touch up his do, I laffed. It was such a Danny Zucko greaser thing to do, you know?

The main reason I love going to the movies is the previews. Seeing trailers for The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk are getting kind of old, so I was hoping to see something good this time. I wasn’t disappointed. For all you Stephenie Meyer fans out there, Twilight will be coming soon. I don’t remember an exact date, but I want to see it. I haven’t read any of her books, but I hear they’re quite popular. She’s a local author, too, I might add. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Brad Pitt looks very, very interesting. They made him look really young in this movie. I’m talkin’ Legends of the Fall Meet Joe Black young here, people. And the action-packed identity theft flick Eagle Eye with Shia looks good too.

I also should have got caught up with the typing thing, but again, that laziness kicked in and I didn’t feel like it. I thought about it. Does that count? LOL. I’d bought like 6 books Friday after work and I just wanted to do nothing but read all weekend. I think I’m still good with the revision deadline, though. I’m currently handwriting Chapter 12, but need to type up Chapter 8 and everything after. The typing part I don’t care about. Just as long as I’m done with revisions in general by the 31st, I’ll be happy.

I hope you all are enjoying A Royale Pain so far. Your comments have been much appreciated. So, the Prologue is over. You know her past and how she got to be where she is at present. Now, we’re getting down to the nitty gritty. During the month of June, you will be reading Chapter 1. Next Monday, I will post the Prologue in its entirety first and Chapter 1 will follow directly after (I will only do this for the prologue since it’s so short). If you’d like the opportunity to receive a copy of the book at a discounted price, please put your email address on the Notification List. You can do so at the end of each Miss Snitch Monday post.

So, how was your holiday weekend?
