It's done. I sent off my entry for my local chapter romance contest. Now I just have to be patient and wait for the feedback until probably May or maybe even June. So now I can relax and get back to work on my current WIP and just forget about the contest until I get my score sheets back.
Ah yes...I was going to gripe a little bit about commercials. I don't know about anyone else but I am really tired of seeing commercials about "erectile dysfunction" drugs, people who have herpes and all the other herbs, gels, creams, etc. related to sex. I'm just sick of the whole drug ad thing in general. How depressing is it to see all these commercials for people with cancer? If, God forbid, I ever get cancer I'll trust my doctor to give me the prescriptions I need.
Whatever happened to the ads for diapers and detergent on daytime TV? I think I want to go back and live in the 50's. Or maybe it's time to seriously think about keeping the TV turned off except for special movies that I know will be good...like the latest of the Michael Landon, Jr. movies on the Hallmark Channel. Boy, I love those movies, but the very best of them was "Love Comes Softly." Sigh..I watch it over and over again with Caitlin. I've decided I'm in love with Clark Davis -- not the actor Dale Midkiff mind you, although he certainly is cute, but I want a Clark Davis in my life.
I'm so glad Michael decided to follow in his father's footsteps and create good, moral, family friendly movies. I hope to see a lot more from him.

Regina,
You are so on the mark with TV. I don't watch TV unless it's a movie or the Disney or Hallmark channel. I love "Love Comes Softly." I have to screen the Lifetime channel if my nine-year-old wants to watch a movie on that channel. It's getting so hard.
I am with you on the commercials! Saw one today and thought---really, how many people do you know who have twin bathtubs in a lake? I mean, really? The thought of sitting, exposed in a lake in the middle of the day gives me the creeps!
Hooray for sending of your contest entry! Did that last year and it's an AGONIZINGLY long wait. Hope you get super score sheets.
I saw your blog name on the Catholic Chick at Large blog and HAD to come see. Loved your title!
Regina, "Love Comes Softly" is a favorite of mine, too. I'm not sure who the other actor is that you liked on there. No one stands out in my mind right now. I'll have to check him out. Great blog!
