I’m not sure if this post will even go through. There’s no wifi in the room and the 3G on my iPad is spotty. I’ve had to respond to comments more than once before anything will go through.
Since I finished my WIP last week, I’m taking a small break from writing while on my anniversary weekend. When I get back, I’ll start my read through/editing/proofing.
Since this was our 30th anniversary, I wanted to do something special. Hubby has lost three wedding bands because he has to take them off for work. I’m still wearing my band and tiny solitaire. So we got stainless steel bands, silver with gold trim, and had our names with hearts between them engraved into them. And our wedding date, too. They look awesome. I’ll do pics later because I can’t get the pics from my iPad to upload to WordPress.
None of you probably know this about me. But I love knives. I also fear them. I think they’re awesome. So I bought a dagger from a shop here. I’ll do a pic of that, too. One year we got our sons swords from this shop. Yeah, real swords.
Since Internet is spotty, I’ll have to wait until I get back home to do my sponsor duties. I’ll check out other blogs later. Bye for now! 🙂

I’m so glad you are having a break, Lauralynn! Well deserved, I say. We just had our 25th at the end of June–where the heck did the time go, right? Have a great rest of the weekend! 🙂
Exactly, Elizabeth, where DID time go? I had a great time!
Sounds like you’re having a great time. 😀 Your husband sounds like a sweetheart. It’s awesome that you are celebrating 30 years of being together.
I look forward to seeing the pictures!
My husband is definitely a sweetheart. Thirty years is a long time, and I’m so glad we got here.
That sounds really lovely!
And I also love and fear knives. I would love a collection, but with kids in the house, or should I say with *my* kids, I couldn’t chance it.
Enjoy the rest of your time off. 🙂
It’s funny that you can’t have knives in the house, but we BUY our kids swords and knives. Of course, they are grown men now. LOL. When we bought the swords, my oldest son was a teenager, and our youngest was either already a teenager or almost a teenager. On this trip, we bought our youngest (who is now 23) a “Cyclone”, which is a round knife with three locking blades. I think you are supposed to throw it or something. 🙂
Picture my face @ the Cyclone. Lol. My OH would *love* something like that.
Hopefully, when my kids are in their teens, they’ll be a little more responsible, but I’m not keeping my hopes up. 😀 There’s an online shop that sells replicas of the main swords mentioned in Game of Thrones. That appeals to my geeky side, but I also like samurai type swords, and generally pretty & unusual swords and daggers. I suppose they appeal to my magpie side. 😀
I remain terrified though. 😉
Oh, Lauralynn, how romantic! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who loses wedding bands- I’ve probably lost about five of them by now, and some of them had diamonds in them. 😦 I joke that it’s time I got our wedding ring tattooed on my hand.
I envy you your trip, especially the fact that you already finished you WIP before you went. That must feel wonderful! On my last vacation, I had to bring my laptop along and either write or edit every day. It was like a cloud hanging over my head. Maybe next vacation, I’ll have some breathing room!
You’ve lost THAT many! Wow, my husband isn’t so bad after all. LOL.
I’m really glad I got that WIP done before I left. That gave me complete freedom from writing. I love writing, but sometimes I have to take a break.
Oh! Lauralynn! Thirty years? Congratulations. I hope you are having a great time! Enjoy your vacation from ‘all things work’ and enjoy the break. :}
A long time, huh? I had a great time!
The rings sound gorgeous. I’ve always wanted a knife like the one the Mayor gave Faith in Buffy.
I forgot about that knife! I don’t know why I like them so much…I’m scared to death of them.
