I’m making lots of progress with my writing this week, hallelujah and amen! To what do I owe this recent success? The Fast Draft Express is one possibility, or it could be the purple bracelet I’m wearing. Or maybe it’s the product pitches inspirational email messages I’ve received from Daily Candy.
This first one arrived on Wednesday:
Subject: Holey Roller
Brothers and sisters, let us bow our heads in prayer.
The dark days of longing for sinfully decadent pastries are over. The day has come when we can satisfy our temptations with something holey. As in Holey Donuts.
[S]ince they’ve got a fifth of the fat and a fraction of the calories of regular donuts, you can indulge your lust without guilt. […] Amen to that.
Then – and I swear on my stack of gilt-edged Bibles, I’m not making this up – I got another one today!
Subject: Holy Crap
Every morning when you wake up at your beau’s …
You say: “Want me to run and get us some coffee?”
You think: I must get to a Starbucks loo stat.
He says: “Aw, thanks, baby, I’d love a latte.”
He thinks: Why won’t this chick poop in my john?
You’ll overcome your bathroom shyness with the Breeza, a deodorizing toilet seat. 
Serendipity, synchronicity, a sign from the universe or a message from God — I’m one of those who finds metaphors in even the most unlikely places. Well, maybe not in a pastry box or under the toilet seat lid, but you know what I mean.
One more example (and I’ve saved the best for last): my Double Delight rose bush unfolded into full bloom earlier this week! I grabbed my camera and snapped a picture to show-and-tell you. How did this fragrant flower come by its fortune-cookie name? I refuse to believe it’s a coincidence.

гыгышка
Holy crap, that’s pretty. 😛
Way to go on the writing, Melodye!
And that rose is beautiful! Ahhhh, to have flowers blooming…we got rain and snow today…sigh.
Double Delight
And they smell good too, yes?
Oh, gorgeous! and those e-mails are hysterical 🙂
Congratulations on your writing progress this week! The rose is lovely. The 2 tone colors are wonderful.
About the Daily Candy emails, umm, not sure, but my reaction was – eat full fat donuts, and go home before sunrise??

Wow!!! What a rose!!!
And I love that daily candy. Much better than my quasi(modo)-Shakespearean wannabe spammmers.
Signs from above? Don’t know it the messages you received by email is a message from above but the rose definitely is one. Double Delight….yes it is. Your writings are also a double delight.
That’s one gorgeous rose. I can practically smell it from here.
As for overcoming bathroom shyness, well, I don’t know.
Double delight is a beautiful flower!!
Wow, that’s gorgeous!
Wow, that’s gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Overcoming bathroom shyness with a deodorizing toilet seat?! That’s hilarious, but er, you’d need a noisemaker installed as well, no? 😉
Gorgeous rose, and great to hear that your writing is zipping along.

I wish you were up in my neck of the woods more often
Happy Easter to you
I am glad you are doing great!

ohhh
your rose is gorgeous ~
we’re getting snow this weekend – the heater’s on, blanket over my lap, thanks for the bit of sunshine.

Lovely flower — I love fragrant roses. I tried planting some sort of climber next to the house, but all I get are long barbed stalks. In seven years, only one flower. I believe it’s time to “retire” that bush, and think about planting somewhere else.
