Hi Everyone!
So, did y’all watch The People’s Choice Awards last night? I missed the first part because I was in the “zone” writing. I refuse to leave the “zone” because it doesn’t come as often as I’d like. Plus, I didn’t realize it was on.
Why wasn’t Johnny Depp in the running for favorite leading man? That’s all I want to know. He can put his gold teeth in a cup beside my bed any night. Be still my beating heart. Well, I don’t actually want it to be still. If it were still then I’d be dead. I’m not ready for dead.
Make a comment today and I’ll put you in a drawing for an ARC of my April 2007 release Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind. Woo-hoo! I don’t even care if you watched the People’s Choice Awards. You can talk about Johnny Depp if you want, New Years resolutions—I have an apple pie in the freezer I was going to take to my son’s house and didn’t. Ugh, temptation. I’ve only had one slip so far. White powdered doughnuts. I looked like a crazed woman as I shoved them into my mouth. They were so worth it and I got back on the wagon the next morning.
Okay, I’m off to find the “zone”.
Hugs,
Karen Kelley

Karen, temptation abounds. Some eee-ville person in my office filled my empty candy jar with Hershey’s dark chocolate mint truffles. And they are taunting me. The only way to shut them up is to eat one.
Actually, I could talk about Johnny Depp with no problem whatsoever! I just love him as Jack Sparrow. So cute and funny and sex-ay! I would bring him rum always.
I have no idea why Johnny Depp wasn’t up for favorite leading man.:???: Maybe the other leading men payed someone off because it was the only way they would have a chance to win.:wink:
Good luck with your writing! I loved the story of Cody & Josh in Hell On Wheels!!
I did not watch the People’s Choice awards last night. My 3 month old baby girl has been sick with a cold so that has been my priority right now. I also am trying to lose some weight so I can sympathize with your slipping. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and some leftover holiday candy in the house that keeps calling my name.
I didn’t watch the People’s Choice awards – because there was a hockey game on and my team was playing…..:oops: But being a Country Music fan I was happy with the way the awards went in the music categories….Carrie Underwood is having a phenomenal year……..As for temptations on eating I seem to give into them all the time, and I keep making promises to myself that I will resist……Yeah right!!
I watched the People’s Choice Awards last night. I think Johnny should have been in the leading man category. I can’t wait till Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind is released. It sounds very good.
Johnny DID win an award, he wasn’t there but they hooked up a live feed of him from London where he’s filming … I just can’t remember what the award was that he won.
Alas, I totally forgot about it, and I wanted to because there was supposed to be some Guiding Light people on. And I saw pics this morning that David Duchovny was a presenter, so I guess I missed a lot. LOL

I’ve started working out with weights. Go to the Body For Life site and look at the leg exercises. They’re not that hard to do, fairly easy in fact, but time consuming. There’s one exercise that doesn’t seem hard at all, but only thing is you can’t sit down the next morning without a lot of moaning and groaning.
If you’re also drinking lots of water then you have to go to the bathroom a lot. I fall onto the toilet. There’s this picture inside my head of hubby calling the fire department out because I’ve fallen through the floor!
Susan, so glad you enjoyed Hell On Wheels! Thanks for letting me know.
Cherie, I hope the baby starts to feel better real soon! It’s so hard when your child is sick.
Okay, back to the grindstone
I did not watch the People’s Choice Awards last night. By the time I realized it was on it went off. I do not find Johnny Depp attractive. I think he looks dirty. I know that I am in the minority, but I don’t see what is so special about him.
I didn’t watch the People’s Choice awards, but I agree that Johnny should have at least been nominated for favorite leading man. His Pirates movie was the only one I saw at a theater last year. Love him as Jack Sparrow.
As for the dieting resolution, it’s a struggle! The dh is very thin and eats junk food like it’s going out of style — AND he has low cholesterol and blood sugar. There is no justice, I tell ya!
Really looking forward to Close Encounters. April seems too long to wait!!
it was cool. love johnny
My hubby is skinny, too! We go on vacation and eat and do the same things. He loses 7 pounds and I gain them. No justice whatsoever!
Karen
I have to work out like a demon to lose a pound and my husband is just naturally thin and doesn’t have to watch his intake nor workout. So unfair. I love your humorous and entertaining novels and look forward to your new Encounters books. Sounds wonderful and as usual unique.
I didn’t watch the People’s Choice Awards last night because I was babysitting. I’m sorry I missed them.
I try to watch what I eat because of my high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It isn’t easy! I slip sometimes but on the whole, I’m doing pretty good. I’ve also been able to lose a few pounds that way but what I really need to do more is exercise!!!
Whoo Hoo. Chance to win an ARC. Count me in.
I watched most of the People’s Choice. Was disappointed categories only had 3 choices. Was happy McDreamy won – he is what shall I say – a Dream! Glad the show one for ensemble. Some of the nominees seemed to be in wrong category. Ugly Betty is a drama???? I havent watched it so just assumed it was a comedy. Cant believe Earl and I think the Office was nominated????? Just my 2 cents.
Oh, no! I totally forgot to watch the People’s Choice awards. It’s one of my favorite because it cover all the areas of tv, movies and songs.
I used to watch 21 Jump Street way back when and Johnny Depp was a cutie even then.
Chips are my temptations. I don’t even want them in the house or else they are gone (into my stomach), lol.
No New Years Resolution made for me to break (ha!)
Hi, I forgot to mention – I have been keeping up with my treadmill but have all this deliciious chocolate around and I cannot simply resist.
I watched bits and pieces of the awards show last night.
I’m not sure about the Johnny Depp fascination either. Give me Orlando Bloom anyday!
I watched The People’s Choice Awards last night and I was bored out of my mind! It just wasn’t that good. I was hoping something exciting would happen, but nothing really did. I can’t wait until all my favorite shows come back because there is NOTHING to watch on TV lately!
I didn’t get to watch the People’s Choice Awards, life got in the way. As far as New Years resolutions went, mine were easy–read and write more. I didn’t bother with the diet thing because I love chips as much as hunky heroes…LOL. Your new book looks interesting, I can hardly wait for its release.:smile:
Hi everyone, I gave up a long time ago on New Years Resolutions linked with junk food.
I live near the Cadbury’s factory, the temptation every day would kill me!
I didn’t even know the People’s Choice Awards were on.
Oh yeah, McDreamy is hot!!!
I’ve watched Ugly Betty a few times and I think it’s hard to say what it is. Drama with comedy undertones? I think it leans more toward the comedty side, though.
I thought Earl was funny in the beginnin but it got old after a while. Shoot, I can just watch my neighbors and get the same thing. Lord, I hope none of my neighbors read this
Sweets are my temptation. I did get rid of all quick sweets that were in the house. That frozen apple pie is calling my name, though. I actually did move the clothes off the treadmill (exercise in itself!) and I’ve been using it.
Very smart, Patricia!
Karen
I watched bits and pieces of the people’s choice awards. I thought Johnny Depp was awesome as Captain Jack Sparrow. I think he won two awards last night.
I didn’t know the awards were on. I vegged on the couch and read! I know Body For Life. It’s the best thing I’ve ever tried and it WORKS. I have the book and the cookbook. You’ll be sore, but you’ll get results and the best thing is you’ll learn a new way of living. I could go on and on about it.
Karen, H-O-T cover! Congrats!
Somehow I missed the Awards. How could they not have nominated Johnny Depp for best male lead?
As for resolutions, I chose not to have one for dieting, but for excercise. Funny thing is, I excercised last night and then made peanut butter cookies! (I was good though. I didn’t eat them all.)
I missed the awards…I was busy reading.
I did not watch the People’s Choice awards, but yes, I would love to talk about Johnny Depp anytime!
I’m on a DIE-t too 
. My new year’s resolution was to lose 10 pounds (or 20, whatever lol). I’m doing pretty well so far, but I want something sweet so bad! Good luck on your resolution Karen! It sounds like you are doing great!
Hugs, Zara
I watched the first hour but switched to Boston Legal and left the pip on so of course I didn’t see everything. You can almost pick who is going to win by who is in the audience or presenting. Only the awards that give those gift baskets worth tons seem to get most of the nominees.
I can be so careful during the day and then comes the time after dinner and before bed time. It just kills me. The temptation of snacks!!!!
Night time is my worst time, too! I spray air popped popcorn with Pam and add salt—is that cheating? Probably because it tastes pretty good.
My daughter lost really good on Body For Life. She’s bigger in the hips but sculpted her body and ended up really tiny.
Laughed about exercising and pb cookies. Exercising makes me hungry. This is soooo not fair! Ha, never thought about die–t.
Ahhh, I remember when I only needed to lose 20. Well, sort of. Those days are long gone. I did have Karl hide the scales this time. Weighing depresses me and then I get off the die–t. I want to wait at least a month before I weigh.

I didn’t look at the awards. Watched Law & Order: CI and SVU. I think now that Elliot’s filed for divorce, him and Mariska are gonna have something going later.
Oh, good! So Johnny Depp did get something. Fantastic. *sigh* I always miss the good part.
My webmistress just sent me the mock up of my new website that will be going live in a few weeks. It’s way too cool!!! She is such a doll. My wonderful hubby did the video which is excellent! He’s so sweet.
Okay, I snuck away from writing long enough to watch The Illusionist with Ed Norton (Netflix) . OHMYGOSH! This is the best movie. Hot, Hot, Hot.
Okay, I’m ready to write
but I’ll be back at 9pm central/10pm Eastern to pick a winner.
Karen
I didnt ge tot see the Peoples Choice Awards because I was trying not to break my New Years resolution and actually go work out. I tried pilates for the first time-Im not very good at it but I am hoping it will help! I rewarded myself with a big blueberry muffin for breakfast:)
Good luck resisting that pie! Thats my weakness..*sigh*
WooHoo can’t wait to see the new layout for your site Karen YaY! I always had a crush on Johnny Depp ever since I seen him in 21 jump street and Cry Baby Love that movie. He is very sexy.
Happy Writing Karen
Hugssss
Linda.H.
WoW interesting Karen your husband did the video WooHoo! That is so sweet of him
I didn’t see the movie you have mention will check it out.
Hugssss
Linda.H.
Karen, can’t wait for the unveiling of your new site. Your hubby sounds like a keeper.
I watched the awards. Johnny Depp….sigh…he’s hot! One thing I noticed was a few woman who were so thin you could see their bones in their chest and back. That’s not so pretty. I’d rather have a little meat, or even a lot on my bones. I think it looks better. lol
I think Johnny won for best male movie star, and though I love him to death, he fiddled with his hair during his thank you speech. Alot. Made me want to hold his hand or something.
And the winner is….
