A relaxing Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is usually a hectic holiday or at the very least the start of a hectic holiday season. Cooking all day and cleaning in preparation for family is just too much hassle in my opinion. Don't get me wrong I like the big mean just as much as anyone, but all the work involved in the getting ready and then the cleaning up. UGH!! Which is why I'm happy that my holiday is a very low key affair. Me and my mom get our meal catered, ok we ordered it from Wegmans, and we eat turkey and have a movie fest. Today's fest will consist of RV then a House marathon. Who could ask for a better line up eight episodes of the extremely sexy Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. Wilson. YUM!! Don't get me wrong I think the show as a whole is wonderful. I love Houses surly nature, but Dr. Wilson is like icing on the cake or perhaps the cherry on top. So from me and mine, to you and yours, the happiest and healthiest of Thanksgivings. Now, I have some dvds to watch.

Paranormal Phenomenon

If you love John Edward raise your hand! *Insert me waving my hands frantically* I used to love to watch Crossing Over and I just saw his new show one the WE network John Edward Cross Country. I loved it. I sat here laughing and crying right along with the people getting read. There is also another show with a female medium named Lisa Williams that I really want to check out. Yes, I am a sucker for all things paranormal. Mediums, psychics, tarot card readers, I find it all immensely fascinating. Here's the thing though, you couldn't pay me enough to watch a horror movie, but I'll watch a show about hauntings in a heartbeat and then spend the rest of the night paranoid as all get out that the nothing that my cat is staring at is actually a ghost that I just can't see. Dog and cats are supposed to be able to see spirits.

I think it's the 'what if ' factor of paranormal phenomenon that keeps me enthralled it's why I love reading paranormal romance. Anything is possible. What if this man really is connecting with a loved one that's passed on, what if that person really is still here watching over me. Of course, this also leads me to wonder if some lascivious spirit is living in my house and watching me shower. (Yes, this is how my mind works. ) I just love the possiblity of it all. Not the shower thing that's just plain creepy.

I like that there are no rules. You can make them up as you go. IMO as a writer paranormals gives you a lot of freedom to be creative. For me that's all part of the appeal.

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to my new blog. You're brave to read on. In this blog you'll get to see the inner workings of my mind and believe me my mind is a scary place to be. LOL! Seriously, I'm ridiculously excited because I've been able to put my newly acquired web design skills to work and I've built myself a website, www.raynavause.com. I just finished bulding and uploading the last page, and I'm darn proud of it.

As you'll see if you visit my site, I'm as aspiring author and this site and blog will be chronicalling my journey to publication. Currently, I have a request for my WIP from both an editor and agent. Unfortunately, I still have a few more edits to do before I send it in. Add to it the fact that I'm woring towards a degree in computers and I'm very busy little bee.

So, this was just a quick hello and intro, now I have to go back to doing homework and my partial. Hope you'll stop back often, and I promise to try and write on a regular basis.

See you soon! :)
