Procrastination, my constant companion. *Heavy Sigh*

Sooooooooooooooooooo… I should be working on one of a zillion WIPs. What have I done over the past month? Not a thing! I mean I’ve thought and taken notes and hummed and hawed but nothing has been done to actually increase my word count. Sad, yes I know. Nevertheless I am determined to finish something. I have too many things collecting virtual dust on my hard drive to be at a standstill. Now, I am going to kick all of the excuses I’ve been feeding myself to the curb and find a way to get to work. First I need to decide on which story I want to finish…

Carolina Pearl by Sela Carsen

Carolina Pearl

A family legend could lead to a treasure more precious than pearls…or get them killed.

Between babysitting her very pregnant sister-in-law and fending off her mother’s nagging about her marital status, Blair Moreau is going insane. Her only hold on sanity is her daily walk for a guilty peek at her crush, the sexy neighbor who’s fixing up the old Cotesworth place.

Conn Lucas, the bastard son of Culford’s leading family, got way out of town a long time ago. When the only relative who didn’t despise him leaves him her 250-year-old house, Conn plans to refurbish it, flip it, and get back to Connecticut as soon as possible. Until a local beauty with a rare talent for DIY gives him a hand with some stubborn siding.

When he makes her mad enough to swing a two-by-four at his head, he realizes Blair is better than perfect. Especially when his efforts to keep her from killing him explode into an erotic rush of adrenaline that unleashes desires they’ve both kept hidden.
Breaking through Conn’s tough shell isn’t as difficult Blair’s next hurdle—telling him she’s a werewolf. First, though, they’ve got to deal with meddling ghosts and a bad ol’ boy cousin who isn’t above taking what he wants at nail-gun point…

Sweet Potato Pie

I love to cook and my mind has been particularly focused on food with the holidays coming. So in the spirit of the time of year I'd like to share my cousin's recipe for sweet potato pie. It is completely scrumptious and worth the effort. Enjoy!


SWEET POTATO PIE

4lbs Sweet Potatoes
1 Cup Each White and Brown Sugar
1 Can of Canned Milk (Milnot if you can find it)
4 Large Eggs
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 Stick of Butter
2 Packages of Pie Crust (I Use Graham cracker Crust)

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Peel and boil sweet potatoes until tender enough to break with a fork. Mash and add butter, both sugars and canned milk. Add eggs last to ensure that mixture is cooled by the milk or your eggs may start to cook. With a hand mixture, beat until smooth try to get any stringy bits out. After all large chunks are out, add vanilla and cinnamon and mix in with a spoon. Bake until center is firm and spots appear on the top.

Well...

Not so much progress on the writing front but plenty on the procrastination. *sigh* I do have some ideas for a few things I'm working on. Perhaps instead of starting new stories I should just finish the ones I'm already working on. If only my characters would just do what I want. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
