The Ultimate Plot

Meanwhile in the North Pole...

A bleary-eyed Santa, tired from delivering presents all over the world, kissed his wife and went to bed.

"Do you feel well, honey? You look a little green. Maybe you should get some rest too?"

While Santa snored away, Freddy-- disguised as Mrs. Claus--watched the evil garden gnomes tie up Santa's elves.

"By this time next year, Santa will have delivered my improved presents and I will be master of the universe! Mu ha ha ha!"

Shadow Play

Dedicated to weather-predicting groundhogs across the universe!

Me and my shadow,
Strolling down the avenue. Me and my shadow,
Not a soul to tell our troubles to . . .

And when it’s twelve o’clock,We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody’s there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin’ blue . . .

And when it’s twelve o’clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody’s there . . .

Just me and my shadow. All alone and feelin’ blue . .

Oh, Shadow. What would I ever do without you?

Lonely Space Alien

Translated with Secret Alien Technology:

Alien, here.

Seems like everyone is scrambling for dates to the Blogville Valentine's Dance. See some recent posts here and here!

I have a problem too.

It isn't my lack dates, though most women are more interested in riding in my spaceship then spending quality time with me. See for yourself--

"Alien, are you taking me to the Valentine's Day Dance? Call me later!"

"Alien! I demand you take me to the Valentine's Dance. Pick me up early so we can cruise around in your spaceship. Oh, and by the way, your mother says to call her. She likes me best."

"You wish you looked this good in a bra!"

Oops! Forget that last one!

*Sigh.* Everytime I try to get to know a girl better, some crisis happens and I have to fly off on an adventure. I can't seem to find the right time to properly court a wife. Perhaps I should go single to the event? Maybe a mystery girl awaits me? Then again, last year my mysterious Lady in Red turned out to be Roo.

Valentine's Day....What's a lonely space alien to do?

Candle in the Dungeon

Meanwhile....

In the castle dungeons of planet Hicbar...

"Oh! Thank goodness I found a candle. Hello? Is anyone there? Santa? Magic elves? Yoo hoo! I'm down here!"

Sharon Ihle

Sallie here! After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I'm settling down for my first romance recommendation of 2012! I was in the mood for a classic, historical romance so I dived into The Marrying Kind by Sharon Ihle.

The story is set in Laramie, Wyoming Territory, 1883. I love the heroine of this story, Liberty Ann Justice, who takes over her family newspaper and promotes voting rights for women. But others don't like her articles on women's rights and threaten to shut her down! Enter the hero of the story, Donovan, who she mistakes for the enemy. He is a sexy card player who just wants his money and is anything but the marrying kind!
