...with my toaster!
You know, how hard is it to actually buy a toaster that does what it's supposed to (like toast bread constantly and evenly) and not break/fail to toast one side/burn everything/just warm the bread? I mean really. I've bought expensive toasters, cheap toasters, middle of the road toasters. I've even bought different brands, too. And yet, not one....not one can perform the SIMPLE task of toasting bread every morning for more than a few months.
It's so frustrating I've even started a twitter trend #alliwantistoast That way, hopefully all those toaster manufacturers will sit up and listen. I bet they have a bloody good toaster on the space shuttle. Why can't I have one like that?
Now you're probably thinking, why don't I just grill my bread? Well, that's not the point. Why should I have to. That's what a toaster is for, isn't it? To toast.
For fans of Red Dwarf, I would gladly take that talkie toaster as my own. At least it could TOAST! Even if it did have an attitude and needed to be placed in stasis for being so annoying.
Anyway....rant over....Oh, and on advice from the eminent and wonderful Serena I bought a cheap toaster the other day...I am now eating cornflakes this morning...
Nuff said.
About Us
We are the authors Sierra Wolfe, Tierney O'Malley, Wendy Ely, Alisha Paige, Mark Alders, Kate Davison, and Gracen Miller. Welcome to our blog. We hope to entertain and inform you. This is where we will share our writing journeys and life experiences, and maybe, share a bit of wisdom we pick up along the way. We hope you enjoy it!
About Gracen
Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a "normal" person in southern society. When not writing, she's a full-time basketball/football/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband. She's addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football and coffee…addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She is convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and blending coffee and writing together generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs. To learn more about Gracen or to leave her a comment, visit her website at www.gracenmiller.com.

About Kate
I like to read and write just about anything. But I am a sucker for a Happily-Ever-After. I need to know characters ride off into the sunset and all is right in their world. That's why I chose romance instead of another category. HEA's aren't always promised in other genres, though I do read them too.
Most of the time you'll find me at the keyboard, moving between the 5 projects I tackle at a time.

About Alisha
I write paranormal, magic realism, fantasy, erotic and vintage romance. I live in a haunted house built in the 50s and love to drink red wine and eat dark chocolate while sitting in the swing out back. I love to watch my children play in the sandbox while my dogs wrestle on the grass. Does life get any better? It's the simple things in life I cherish.

About Wendy
Writing is an adventure I started at a young age but never took it serious until last year. My focus is on contemporary romance and have two books coming out later this year. Besides writing, I run a childcare, attend college, and am a single mom. Life isn't boring for me!

About Tierney
Hi! My name is Tierney O'Malley, contemporary and paranormal romance author from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My publishers are Cobblestone Press, Museitup Publishing, eXtasy Books, and Silver Publishing. I'm excited to join this blog and hope to share you fun and meaningful posts. :D Click here or go to my website http://tierneyomalley.com to learn more about my books or contact me. I would love to hear from you.
About Mark
My name is Mark Alders. I live in a house. This house has a street in front of it which is a good thing because if it didn't I wouldn't be able to drive down to the shop and purchase the chocolate I need on a daily basis *giggle* Seriously, I am a mild mannered post office worker by day and an erotic romance writer (mainly male/male) at night. Not much else to say other than, like everyone else, I have bills to pay, a mortgage and family that I love and drive me crazy all at the same time. Oh, and I have a dog, too! See? Average Joe...execpet when I get down and write...then I let my imagination go to places I never knew existed and my characters invade my mind.
About Sierra
I have an Associates Degree in Nursing and work as a traveling nurse. Although, I miss my family and friends back in Missouri, I enjoy meeting new people and love to travel. Of course, I wouldn’t go anywhere without my wonderful daughter and two rotten dogs. Writing has always been a part of my life, but for many years, I thought it was only a hobby. Finally learning that I couldn’t live without writing my beloved stories, I decided to see where it would take me. Who knows where my next adventure will be? Either in nursing or writing, I will continue to look for new and fun places to explore.

My husband is usually very mellow and slow to anger... but the toaster's cousin—the blender—end up in the front yard once...
Oh, I know.
The kitchen is a veritable nightmare for the unsuspecting.
Other appliances I don't get on well with, include kettles that don't click off, sandwich makers that don't seal the bread properly and I scald myself with melted cheese and the fridge that won't turn it's light on when I open it.
Hence I avoid the kitchen!
Thanks for the comment. Have a wonderful day.
*hugs*

I think the only thing that I value most in my kitchen is the microwave. Just zap the leftovers and voila! Food.
@Sweet Vernal--How are you doing? : ) My husband is inlove with his blender. Don't know why. I hate blended fruits.
Tierney, nothing like a good zapping :-)
*hugs*
Mark
