I swear, I can’t figure out which form I should fill out and what I should do. And before you tell me to use TurboTax or a service, need I remind you that I used to work on Wall Street. I should be able to do all this
stuffs! But I don’t really like it – I didn’t like it back in the day either! I’d much rather wear fluffy PJs and eat ice cream and write smut and then put on heels and cute underwear and go out with my girlfriends to some club where this dashing and handsome guy would sweep me off my feet and take me back to his place and he wouldn’t forget the condoms so I wouldn’t have to root around through my bag either at 2 am in the morning wondering which one of us is gonna have to go to Duane Reade (Walgreens for people outside New York City).
Anyways, we were talking about taxes. Seriously, so I have to do two sets of taxes. One with my business partner for my writing stuffs and one on my own for me. The Naughty Angel Publishing stuff at least someone else helps take care of – my rationale for this is that I’m too busy writing smut. But for me – I gotta do that on my own.
So I’m looking at this form. And it’s saying business deductions. And I’m wondering do the sex toys count as business deductions? I mean I need them to write to see if a scene is hot or not, ya know? Like test it out LMAO. What would the IRS say?
Oh, to top it off, then I start to imagine me sitting at the IRS office getting audited because for Occupation I put “Smut Queen” since I am like the #6 author in contemporary romance (woohoo!). And I’m all dressed all sexy in front of this IRS guy and he’s like what kind of smut? And I show him and he gets all flustered because he reads it too. And he’s like, fine take all your deductions and I’m like thanks!
Yeah, I forgot what I was talking about just now and obviously went off on a tangent. But it’s good because I needed this break to talk to you guys. Doing taxes suck. I should have done my own way before this. But I gotta get it done today L

So, guy I was dating has like totally fizzled out…
Match.com guy.
I gave him plenty of chances to express SOME sort of interest but while I could tell that he was into me and he wanted some, he just didn’t act. Even when I gave him multiple openings. I couldn’t have dropped any more hints without like you know, taking off my panties and writing my number on them – which you remember I did in the past haha.
But honestly, in all seriousness, it’s like I would have had to take off my clothes and then take off his clothes and then get him hard and then get on top of him and have sex with him and maybe he would figure out that I was sorta into him.
But I can’t do that. I don’t have the upper body strength to be able to move him like that. So I dunno. I guess I gave him several opportunities and when it didn’t happen, it’s time to move on. And I’m okay with that lol!
But I feel kinda bad because I’m writing these happily ever after stories and I’m in a far from happily ever situation myself. But then I stop and think.
I have my Naughty Angels. They make me happy.
I have my Dirty Lil’ Angels on Facebook. That makes me so happy.
I make countless readers happy (hopefully) every day. That makes me SOOOO happy!
I have my parents and friends and everyone I know on Facebook.
I have my fellow authors – I’ve learned so much from them and aspire to be so much like them.
I have you guys and I look forward to talking to you everyday. It’s amazing and so therapeutic.
So, I mean, who says I don’t have my HEA for right now?? Just because I’m not married doesn’t mean I’m sad. OMG. Maybe back in 1939 that was true but hello, its 2016!
So, you know what? I’m so happy. Sure I’m not in a relationship right now. But I'm prolly the happiest I've ever been.
So if you're out there in a bad marriage, single, divorced, or in a marriage and lonely, don't give up hope. Reach out to your sisters - the women around you. You'll never know how loved you are till you do!
Hugs and Kisses and Lots of Love,

So remember back in the day (yesterday) when I said I was prolly get old alone by myself?
So do you know Madison Faye? She is an awesome author. So she messages me today because she needed some info from me and I was all like waking up. But I was like “Hold on I just woke up but I need to get home and get you the deets”.
That’s right because I totally woke up in some guy’s house. More appropriately in some guy’s bed. Not just some guy but this guy I’ve been crushing on for like a long time since last week when I saw him at the wine bar that he works at.
