April A to Z: The Letters W, X, Y, and Z and Announcing the Winner!

Happy Monday, everyone! Welcome to my blog and Alee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge,

Today, I'm giving you letters W, X, Y, and Z because tomorrow I get to have my upper and lower GI scoped. Right now, I'm enjoying a nice bottle of BLECK in preparation for it!

First things first though, I'll be sharing four eighties bands music videos. After that, I'll announce the winner to my little contest.

This year I decided to share pictures hinting as to what is coming in book two in the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

The one with the most correct answers wins a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

But first here are some great eighties bands.

Hey! It's WHAM!

Who the heck are these guys?! It's XTC!

Who in the world is the Yello Band? Oh Yeah!

And my all time favorite, ZZ Top!

Now to name the winner....

It was pretty close between two peeps. William and Ida.

And the winner is IDA! She had 13 correct answers. Sir Wills had 11 but he visited everyday so he wins, too!

Ida message me your email on Facebook with your mailing address or here.

Okay. I have to get back to drinking my really grody cocktail.

Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: The Letter 'U'

Can you believe it's Thursday already? Where is time going? Better yet...where are we heading?

To the Letter 'Z'. That's where.

I've been doing Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge .

This year I decided to post pictures hinting at what's coming in the next book  in Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

The one with the most correct answers wins a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

So what's this pic about? All I can say is this, I really had to work building something in book two. Still tweaking it as well.

Picture from the Internet.

Have a great day, everyone.

Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: The Letter 'T'

Happy Hump Day! We've only got a few more days for Arlee Bird's A to Z April Challenge .

This year I decided to post pictures hinting at what's coming in book two to the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

Whoever guesses the most correct answers wins a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

But today 'T' stumped me like a few other letters. So I give you an eighties video from the Thompson Twins. Remember them?

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: The Letter 'R'

Happy Monday! We're almost finished with this challenge. Wow! Right? I can hardly believe we're heading into May at warped speed. How about you guys?

This year for Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge,  I decided to post pictures hinting at what is to come in the next book to the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

The one with the most correct answers will win a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

This one should be much easier than Fridays.

This picture was from the internet.

April A to Z: The Letter 'O'

Happy Thursday! We're almost through Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge.

How is everyone doing at this point?

Right now, I'm good. The computer seems to behaving as is Google Chrome.

Anyway, this year I decided to post picture clues as to what you could look forward to in the next book from the Lila Journey's Series, Killer Stilettos.

The one with the most correct answers at the end of this challenge will win a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

 For the days I haven't been able to find a photo, I've been posting an eighties band video corresponding to the letter of the day.

Okay. On with the pictures.

 Today, I give you two. Here's the clue. They're sisters with major sibling rivalry issues.

These pictures were from the internet.

Happy guessing!

See you tomorrow when I Celebrate the Small Things and post for letters 'P' and 'Q'.

Hugs and chocolate!
Shelly

April A to Z: The Letter 'N'

Hello, again! Happy Wednesday! And welcome to my blog and another installment for Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge.

This year I decided to give picture clues as to what you could look forward to in book two to the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

But like yesterday I couldn't come up with one. So I'm giving you another Eighties Band. Besides, Lila is an eighties girl.

And I just love this following video! How about you?

Tomorrow I'll have a tricky picture for you all.

Hugs and chocolate!
Shelly

April A to Z: The Letter 'M'

Happy Tuesday and Pesach! It's another day and another letter for Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge.

This year I decided to give picture clues of what you can expect from Killer Stilettos. The next book in the Lila's Journey Series.

The one with the most correct answers wins a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

But today I couldn't come up with anything good for 'M'. Well...sort of. But I couldn't get the picture to download. So I bring you an Eighties Band.

Remember these guys?

Have fun! See you all in the blogosphere.

Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: Letter L

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog and Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge . It's been crazy trying to edit my posts and to actually get them posted. Talk about a challenge.

For the one on Friday, I had to type it up from my iPhone due to internet connection issues. One thing led to another. Like, I pushed the Refresh button on my computer. That's what it suggested to fix my connection. But it caused me another problem. It uninstalled the majority of the programs I use. YIKES!

Anyway, on with the challenge. This year I decided to post picture clues of what's to come in the next book in the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

The one who guesses the most correct answers gets a copy of  Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

What could these possibly be?

Okay. This wraps up my L post.

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. See you all in the blogosphere.

Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: Letters J and K and Celebrate the Small Things

Happy Friday, everyone. To date, I'm having issues yet again to stay connected to the internet. And when I finally get to Blogger, it crashes on me. So I'm writing right this minute from my iPhone.

I'm hoping I can get on the computer to download my clues for Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge.

This year I planned to give picture clues as to what the next book would be about for the Lila's Journey series, Killer Stilettos.

The person with the most correct answers will receive either a copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle.

But before I give any clues and while I wait for my computer to Refresh, I'll begin with VikLit's Celebrate the Small Things.

1: I'm pushing through the A to Z Blog Challenge, despite my computer, Blogger  being a Blooger, and Google Chrome crashing on me.

2: I've hand written changes to chapters 41, 42, 43, and 44 to Killer Stilettos this week.

3: I'm thankful for my one and only critique partner, Emily McKeon. I found her on CP. Originally, I had found 2. But the other peep fell off the bandwagon after I read through 2 of her manuscripts.

4: I've transplanted my squash, zucchini, and cucumbers. I need to get some more boxes before I plant my kale, tomatoes, and peppers.

And:

Two boxes of goodness coming.

Well, I'm still waiting for my PC to do its thing so I'm searching around my house for the next 2 clues. Which by the way, I'm posting K for today and J for tomorrow.

This is your K clue. And no. The answer is not a knife.

I'm still searching for your J clue.

Okay. What is the name of Lila's true love? Or so she believed in Secondhand Shoes.

This wraps up this weeks blog challenge. I'm hoping to get to as many blogs this weekend. 

Have a happy weekend and Happy Shabbats if you practice!

Hugs and chocolate, all!
