Rose confiture

Oh, I’m so excited1 Today I took a day off from my day job and I’m planning on making rose confiture. My most beautiful childhood memories involve this confiture. It reminds me of my grandma’s gentle smile and those gorgeous carefree summer days.
I hope it turns out well, because it’s my first time making it. Sadly, grandma isn’t here anymore to guide me though it. So, I’m relying on the internet and mom’s old recipe books. If all turns out well, I’ll share my method with all of you.
Hope you have a beautiful week!

Word of the Week #4

Desultory (‘dɛsəltərɪ)

Source: Merriam-Webster

1: marked by lack of definite plan, regularity, or purpose <a dragged-out ordeal of…desultory shopping — Herman Wouk>
2: not connected with the main subject
3: disappointing in progress, performance, or quality <a desultory fifth place finish> <a desultory wine>
 
I just love the sound of this word. It’s so sexy, though it’s got nothing to do with sexiness LOL

Oops

Hi, friends! I must apologize for I completely forgot to post last week’s word of the week. I was too spaced out from editing and only remembered on Saturday. I promise to pay more attention in the future.
On a merrier note, I wanna share with you my latest favorite song.

Isn’t G.NA adorable?
Wish you all a great week!

Tired, tired, tired

I just wanna sleep. And read, watch some tv shows. And sleep again.
I finished my LHNB story, but have no news from my betas, so I’ll be late for my deadline. But I’m so freakin’ happy it’s done. I thought at some point I’ll never be able to do it. What was I gonna do? It was a horrendous moment and only the thought of disappointing the Goodreads peep kept me going. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed writing it, but I’m lazy. Researching for half an hour alone is enough to give me nightmares. I read medical blogs and articles daily for about two weeks for only two medical scenes and my beta already warned me I did it all wrong (or at least some). What the heck? I’m an idiot. I just realized it. My procrastination is turning me stupid.
Anyway, tired, tired, tired. I’m done.  Goodnight, my friends!

10 Reasons Why I Despise Being Single

1. Because I can’t be 100% happy when my friends get engaged.
2. Because all of my friends have long since stopped asking how my love life is going, since they know Shayla’s always single.
3. Because all my parents’ acquaintances ask if there’s going to be a wedding any time soon.
4. Because I need a kiss and a warm hug from time to time from someone who isn’t related to me.
5. Because I want to brag like anyone else about how awesome and supportive and essentially incredible my boyfriend is.
6. Because I miss going on romantic walks in the middle of the night.
7. Because I’ve never had a romantic dinner.
8. Because I have so much love to give.
9. Because I want to feel butterflies in my stomach again and that crazy excitement before a date, when you know you’re gonna see him soon.
10. Because I’m sick of being lonely.

Word of the Week #3

First of all, I got a great news today. My novella’s blurb is out for everyone to see.
Here it is – http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17878229-love-rivals

Now off, to the main “issue”. I picked an interesting word for today : 

Callipygian (ˌkælɪˈpɪdʒɪən)

 Believe it or not, the meaning of this word is having sexy buttocks O_O 
I laughed my callipygian (I wish) ass off. There is definitely no word that can top this one.
