Hey everyone! How’s your week been? Pretty decent here! I gave my last lecture of the semester, released the third book in the Montevaro Monarchy series, gave the last (non-final) test, took the fam to see the new Avengers movie (along with a good friend), finished the novella that releases this summer, and went to Andy’s Frozen Custard with the dog ;). I also wrote a blog for a guest spot on Seekerville next Wednesday! I’d love for you to stop by! I’ll be talking about my journey as an indie author and will have a giveaway!
And now that I’m just about done with my deadline/s, I’m gonna get to read, read, read! I can’t wait!
Pretty pink cherry blossoms for the new princess!
Of course, who could have missed today’s biggest British news… Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who welcomed their second child, a beautiful little girl!, this morning! Did y’all see the coverage? She-who-has-yet-to-be-publicly-named is super adorable, of course! And Prince William brought big brother Prince George by for a visit! He’s too cute and it’s obvious that the princes dote on each other! Part of me really wants to detest the Duchess on principle alone – even with the assistants at her disposal to help – no woman should look that good twelve hours after giving birth!!!!! Much less wearing anything fancier than tennis shoes! (I admit it – I was retaining so much fluid after baby #1 was born, I could barely tie those!)
I wanted to post pics, but couldn’t find any I knew for sure I could use as long as I used attribution. So there’s links ;).

Have a great week, Carol! Thank you for the Sunday post :-)
