Flashback Friday and A Cruise:)

Jan 1973:
I don't remember the exact month this happened, so I'm choosing to post this now.  Did I mention I was an anxious child, and always wanting to please?  Well for whatever reason, I had to use the bathroom at the exact time my 1st grade teacher chose to call our names and handing out papers.  I didn't want to be laughed at for being in the bathroom when she called my name, so I tried to hold it.  And didn't make it.

Mom told me recently, "You talked to her more in that ten minutes than you had the entire 1st semester, while she took you down for some dry clothes."

I don't remember that part; I just remember the humiliation of wetting my pants in class, all because I was too darn scared to run to the bathroom in case my name was called!

Gretchen McLaren has her life mapped out. A tour of duty with the Peace Corps, then working as a social worker for the elderly. But her boyfriend Joe Walker doesn't agree with her plan, and tries everything in his power to change her mind. But will he succeed? Or will his efforts drive her into the arms of another man?

Troy Anderson finds himself hearing the words no man wants to hear, "I just want to be friends." But when a skilled manipulator tries to tear down the woman he loves, will he fight for her? Find out what happens when jealousy upsets the balance of love and ambition. Has Gretchen been blind to true love the entire time?

I picked this particular SCP book because I'm going through this issue with my daughter, and now seems like a perfect time to sail away to....Saint Maartin's Island!

I'll throw all the names in a hat and draw one lucky winner at the end of the contest for a copy of this book or any of my others.  Book #5 will be out hopefully next month.  So good luck and enjoy the cruise!

Outside it's raining and nothing can be more tempting than think about sun and warm weather. This cruise really is so much fun, thank you!

Sun and sand versus 40 degree weather?...definitely sun and sand is better!
Balancing Act sounds like a great read...we never want to think we've missed love that's been right in front of us the whole time!

I'm more of a cold weather person, so wouldn't pick an island getaway most likely :)
