It's party time here at the LoveCats DownUnder and what a party! It's our absolute thrill to welcome our newest LoveCat: the multi-talented, great-with-animals, gifted author, BRONWYN JAMESON.
Yay! There's great excitement here as we welcome Bronwyn, one of the stars of Harlequin Desire, to our group. We're celebrating with some fantastic give aways, but more about those soon.
Bronwyn is a personal heroine of mine. She's a triple RITA finalist and nominee for the Romantic Times Series Storyteller of the year. She's a bestseller whose books are loved worldwide. If you don't know her stories and want to find out more, here's a link to her website. Her support of other writers resulted in her recently being awarded life membership of Romance Writers of Australia.

Her support of other writers resulted in her recently being awarded life membership of Romance Writers of Australia.
As you can see, we've taken the opportunity of Bronwyn's welcome party to launch our new look website. Isn't it lovely? We're so pleased with the results and of course, welcome your thoughts on how well it works for you. We're also launching a LoveCats DownUnder FaceBook page.
But in the meantime, let's get this party on the road by interviewing our newest LoveCat. Bronwyn took time out to answer a few questions. Here she is:
1) Does anyone with fur, feathers or scales share your life now, or in
the past?
I live on a farm so am
surrounded by fur, feathers, scales and particularly wool. I'm a bit of a horse nut. Currently we have eight with another (baby)
due in a few weeks time. Mum's name is
Jenna and right now her baby bump is huge.
I have a Jack Russell, imaginatively named Jack, who is rather talkative
and boisterous and all those other fabulous JR traits. He believes it is his duty to keep the
"scales" population down in summer, which is REALLY stressful given
the venomous strike of the eastern brown snake.

| Horse baby (Floo) |
2) Even though you're now a Cat, if you could be any mythological
creature, which one would you be?
Pegasus. A horse.
That flies. How cool would that
be?
3) What was the first category book you read?
Not the first category
book – I devoured the serialised Mills & Boons in my mum's English Woman's
Weeklys from a tender age – but the first Desire I read was Private Reasons by
Justine Davis. It featured an uptight
hero with dark secrets, a strong free-spirited heroine, a troubled teenager and
a totally cool black horse. Also hay,
jeans and hot attraction. I loved this
book in the 90s and, in a recent re-read, loved it all over again.
4) What was the last category book you read that you loved?
I've just finished
Driving Her Crazy by Amy Andrews, a fun and funny road trip starring a cranky
photographer and a smart-mouthed journalist (she drives him more than a
little crazy.) But beneath the banter
there are real issues, which give the story depth and strength. Loved it.
5) What's something we wouldn't know about you?
Hmm. Did you know I was on Wheel of Fortune
(twice) and won a car?
6) We all know you as a wonderful Harlequin Desire author. In honour of
your arrival the other LoveCats are giving away some fantastic ‘Items of
Desire’ as prizes today. Can you share with us your own favourite Item of
Desire?
Not so much an
item, but one of my favourite things is travel and I wish I could travel like
my Desire characters, with private jets and limousines and five-star hotels and
concierges at my beck and call. First
class travel is the object of my desire.
Thanks, Bronwyn. Wow, you must have had nerves of steel to make it onto Wheel of Fortune twice! That's so impressive. It's wonderful to have you on board as a LoveCat. We know you're going to fit right in.

I love the new website! I really like the author's pictures across the top. I'm really happy there is a new Love Cat. Hi Bronwyn!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like a jacuzzi bathtub. I'd love to travel as well and it wouldn't even have to be first class.
Nice site; easier to use
ReplyDeletea private plane
Hi Kaelee. Love that you're first to the party and to welcome me to the Lovecats. I'm super thrilled to be here with some of my favourite people who happen to write wonderful romance.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love a jacuzzi as well. On the deck. With views. (We can dream, right?)
How fabulous and pretty is the new design? Raising my glass (even though it's still breakfast time in Australia!) to Rachel and Sharon who are responsible.
Hi Bron! *waves frantically from across the ditch!*
ReplyDeleteIt's sooo good to have you here and I loved reading your interview. I think my favourite object of desire is time to enjoy the good things in life.
Waving back at you, Yvonne. Hope you can see from all the way over there!
DeleteSince it has taken all day for me to find the time to get back in here today, I am definitely hearing you on "time" being the ultimate object of desire. If only we could manufacture more!
Chocolate is my object of desire today and happy to see Bronwyn here.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy. So lovely to see you here too!
DeleteI'm just re-energising after a frantic day with...you guessed it...chocolate. Thank heavens I found some stashed away!
Hi Bronwyn, Welcome to the blog and back into writing.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, it's hard to choose, but in the here and now, it would have to be an unlimited supply of chocolate and biscuits.
Otherwise, my object of desire would be a cosy place to read along with lots of reading time.
Thanks to Barbara for giving me a heads up about this a couple of weeks ago.
Also, I'm loving the new layout - having the authors across the top makes it much easier to see who blogs here.
Hi Lyn. Isn't the new layout gorgeous?
DeleteOh, wouldn't I love the time -- and a lovely cozy place -- to read with unlimited chocolate. The calorie-free variety, of course.
Hi Bronwyn... Welcome to the LoveCats!
ReplyDeleteMy objects of desire are: travel with unlimited budget, a jacuzzi hot tub and good quality chocolate.
P.S. Love the look of the blog, Rachel and Sharon!
Hi Amanda and thank you for welcoming me to this fabulous blog. One thing I'm enjoying right now is the beautiful covers in the sidebar. With each comment I'm reading and replying to, I get a different awesome cover.
DeleteWhen you work out the trick to travel on an unlimited budget, please share. :-)
Thanks, Amanda! It was Rachel's wizardry with the header - she's so clever!
DeleteHey, I love your objects of desire - travel with an unlimited budget is inspired! It covers pretty much everything doesn't it!
My favorite object of desire right now is a big fat strawberry cheesecake. I'm on a low carb diet right now because of blood sugar and I'm finding it hard to give up everything I like. Sigh, I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it but it seems like every other commercial on television is for something I can't have. It really sucks. Anyway, welcome and I love your books.
ReplyDeleteseriousreader at live dot com
Oh, yum, Linda. Two of my favourite things right there: strawberries and cheesecake. And would you believe that I'm about to try low-carb? Today is my middle son's birthday so there's cake (and chocolate) and I put off the start of the new eating plan until tomorrow. We can bemoan the lack of cheesecake together while reassuring ourselves that it's worth it for the sake of our health.
Delete(And thank you for loving my books.)
Ooh, love the fresh new website today. It's one thing seeing the draft and another seeing it real and live.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to welcome you, Bron. It's an absolute joy to have you here as a LoveCat! The photos you're sharing are terrific. I'm imagining your little dog Jack taking on a brown snake and scarily, I can see it vividly.
Kaelee, that hot tub sounds gorgeous, even though it's morning here. Any excuse to relax. Actually, that private plane sounds good for unlimited travel. I'm avoiding the whole chocolate issue as too hard to resist.
For me, the ultimate object of desire would be a Tardis. I'd love to be able to get in and seconds later walk out somewhere else - but only if I got to choose where it was. Wouldn't it make travel a breeze?
Annie, thank you so much for putting this blog together and for welcoming me to the LoveCats. (Unfortunately, your image of the Jack+snake scenario is probably rather too accurate. The vet knows us well.)
DeleteOoh, a Tardis. Well-played. Can I come with?
Hi Bron! So good to "see" you again. It's still September 1st here and I just finished grilling a steak for dinner. I know it sounds rather ordinary compared to jets and jacuzzi tubs, but I'd love to have a charcoal grill right outside the door. As it is I have to haul everything -- charcoal, lighter fluid, matches, food and utensils and water to put out the coals when I'm done -- to the picnic area at the end of my building. My apartment has a patio but fire code prevents having a grill on it. I love the taste of food cooked over charcoal.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that's my desire -- at least for today. *grin*
Marilyn! Waving with much excitement (even though I know it's middle of the night in your part of the world) because it is so lovely to "see" you again.
DeleteI don't think the desire for a grill right outside your door is ordinary at all. Not when *that's* what would light your fire (excuse the pun) right now. With September has come spring to my corner of the world and with the beautiful weather I'm thinking of firing up the BBQ tonight. We also love food cooked over charcoal.
Congratulations on the new look site - it's beautiful! And welcome, Bronwyn! This wonderful group just keeps getting better.
ReplyDeleteMy object of desire is a writing retreat. (That counts as an object?) Preferably in a heritage house overlooking Sydney Harbour, with a window seat for my writing spot. Failing that, any writing retreat, anywhere.
Thank you, Claire. It is a rather wonderful group, isn't it? And I totally get your object of desire (and, yes, if time can be an object and travel can be an object, then a place for a specific means can be as well) and wish I could be there with you.
DeleteHiya Love Cats! Hiya new LC Bron! Lovely to see you here. And I LOVE the new design! Really fresh and contemporary. Yay, you!
ReplyDeleteBron, what a great interview. I didn't know that about you and Wheel of Fortune. What a claim to fame! I'm with you on the travel thing - an unlimited budget, unlimited time and NO jet lag would be my fantasy!
That's why you need a Tardis, Anna. No jetlag...
DeleteI'm glad that the Wheel of Fortune thing is news to someone -- I was afraid in answering that question, that it would be something I'd already told and retold. It was a tough question to answer. (And the interview, if good, is because of Annie's excellent questions -- thanks Annie!)
DeleteHi Bronwyn. It was your fantastic desire books that drew me into the wonderful world of category romances. Yup, it's all your fault and I couldn't be happier. :-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic to see you here.
Well, if that's the case then I could not be happier to take the blame. :-)
DeleteThanks, Ebony, and right back at you.
Hi Bronwyn! So lovely to see you here and to learn a little bit more about you. I have too many objects of desire, sadly! However, one I would really like would be to have supersonic fast travel so I could pop back to England (from NZ) to catch up with all my lovely family and friends more frequently. (Oh, and if I could go first class that'd be the cherry on top!)
ReplyDeleteHey, Louise, I'm so so happy to join you at the LoveCats. It sounds like you will be joining the merry band of Tardis travellers, because with such a long trip you'll be wanting instant and no jet lag either. If only.
DeleteWelcome, Bronwyn. Great to have you with us. As for an object of desire I have to follow your example. Travel is wonderful, going first class would be so much better!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though your recent travel has only whetted the appetite for more, Sue, and I understand. It seems as though half my extended family has either just returned from or is travelling overseas right now and so that desire is very much on my mind every day. I love seeing the world.
DeleteHi Everyone
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bronwyn and what a great new look Ladies I love it :)
What I would desire at the moment is another cruise (sorry Rachel)Hubby has just come out of hospital and I think a cruise would brighten us both up and think of all the reading time I would have on a deck chair with a waiter bring me cocktails that would be the life.
Bronwyn
Love that picture of Jack he sounds like a real cutie
Again congrats on the new design :)
Have Fun
Helen
LOL, Helen. If I sat in a deck chair reading and drinking cocktails I'd certainly be rocky when I stood up, sea cruise or no sea cruise :-)
DeleteRocky or not, for whatever reason, that sounds like the perfect reading retreat. I could so join you, Helen and hubby. I'd be no trouble at all, I can assure you. Just me and a stack of books (and my Nook, because both) and a sunhat. Cocktails, of course, would ensure.
DeleteHello all!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the website! Great design. Your dog is such a handsome fellow, Bronwyn! I have my own snake hunter here in Alabama. Clyde gets bitten at least once a year. Fortunately he is a HUGE dog (Clyde is short for Clydesdale) and some Bendryl and a trip to the vet fixes him right up. He never learns!
My objects of desire would have to include - a LONG research trip to the UK, a lovely thatched cottage built on my property, and any Regency research books I don't have!
Louisa, you'd better be careful. I know so many people who'd want to tag along on the UK research trip.
DeleteI shuddered when you mentioned Clyde getting bitten by snakes. Aren't they very venomous? The variety we get in my neck of the woods would sadly be the end of any dog. Hope he's fine this season.
Hi Louisa.
DeleteClyde sounds like a much larger version of my Jack, because despite the many bites and trips to dog ICU, he does not learn. Not even in the same summer. He just cannot help himself when it comes to hunting and I imagine your Clyde is the same. I love his name, BTW.
Can we all come visit you in that thatched cottage? :-)
Woot, woot! Bron is in da house! And OMG, thank you so much for mentioning my book. You've always been one of my favourite people but I think you just snuck you're way to the top of my list :-) So thrilled you enjoyed Driving Her Crazy - means a lot coming from one of my author icons!
ReplyDeleteObject of desire - with you on the travel but absolutely love Annie's choice of the Tardis :-) Right now though I think I'd settle for having a personal masseuse on call!
For everyone visiting here our LoveCat FB page also launched today. The link is below is anyone wants to show it some love with our thanks in advance :-)
https://www.facebook.com/lovecatsdownunder
Amy, you can come for a trip in my Tardis when I get one. Perhaps I could share your masseuse in the meantime?
DeleteThanks for sharing the LoveCats FB page. Great to be online!
The top of the list? Score!
DeleteSeriously, I loved Driving Her Crazy. Fabulous character dynamic -- I love me some smart banter and Sadie and Kent had that going in spades. (Also, the spider scene cracked me up.)
Off to Facebook...
Had fun writing that spider scene :-)Thanks Bron!
DeleteHi Bron! Great interview and what a cheeky looking Jack!
ReplyDeleteThe object I have been desiring lately is a push bike. One of those old vintage looking ones with the wide handle bars and basket on the front. Found one this morning and bought it =) Got a matching one for my 8 year old too. So I guess now the thing I desire is the energy and motivation to ride it! haha, always something we want that we don't have...
Have fun at Lovecats!
Bron.
Hi Bronwyn. What a cool name you have. :-)
DeleteYour bikes sound equally -- okay, even more -- cool and I want to see pictures. Once you find that motivation and energy.
Thanks so much for visiting.
BRONWYN! I'm so excited that you've joined the Lovecats and how fitting that Rachel and Sharon's gorgeous new design is helping to herald you in.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Yvonne and saying that my object of desire right now is time - I never have enough of it to do all the things on my list.
Hi Barbara and thank you for the welcome. It's so cool to be one of the LoveCats.
DeleteHonestly, I have no idea how you find the time to do all you do. if anyone can find/make/invent more time, I'm sure it will be you.
(And have I mentioned how much I adore your latest cover?)
Welcome!! Actually, it was something I asked for Christmas and my husband said yes and I am still waiting - bookshelves!!! I hate that I can't find what I want and that some are 3 deep.
ReplyDeleteCatslady, you can never have enough bookshelves. When your husband puts yours up perhaps he could drop by and do some for me...?
DeleteThank you for the welcome, catslady (what a perfect name for this blog.)
DeleteI am pretty sure that all the cats and visitors are sympatico with the object of your desire. One can never have too many bookshelves because there are always more books.
Bronwyn! Welcome to the LoveCats! It's so awesome to have you join us! I loved learning these things about you - from your wonderful, growing horse herd to being on Wheel of Fortune - TWICE! AND won a car! You can obviously think clearly under pressure!
ReplyDeleteActually, I could choose being able to think under pressure as my object-of-desire! But I'm going to go with an uncluttered office instead! I'm so organised everywhere else but I just don't seem to be able to control my office-space! and the really hard thing is that I'm the only person responsible for the state of it! ARGH! LOL!
Hi Sharon. I think I've said this before but I am SOOO thrilled to be part of the Lovecats.
DeleteI probably should mention that my Wheel of Fortune adventure was several decades ago and I totally do not think well under pressure these days. Which makes my success on that show all the more amazing. (I suspect there was a ton of luck involved!)
An uncluttered office is definitely worthy of desire. But then you'd need the time to do it and there's always something more urgent and/or important isn't there? (Like reading, for example.)
LOL, Bronwyn! You know you're absolutely right! If I found the time to clear up my office I would almost certainly want to spend it doing something else... like reading. In fact, that's probably how it got into this state in the first place - too many other fun things to do!
DeleteWelcome to the LoveCats, Bronwyn! I love this site.
ReplyDeleteBoth Amy and Annie took my first answer which was a Tardis, so I will go with my second, a self-cleaning house with clothes and dishes that cleaned themselves and put themselves away!
Kaisquared, I love the way your mind works. Wouldn't that be brilliant? And if there was such a thing as a self-weeding, pruning and watering garden, just think how much time we'd have!
DeleteI'm with Annie, kaisquared, and thinking that the object of your desire may well become mine. How cool would that be? Think of the time we'd have for the important things in life?
DeleteLove the new website, LoveCats, and how nice to have Bronwyn on board! Bronwyn, as well as being a fabulous author, and an all-round wonderful person, is a great role model for Aussie writers.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading about your animals, Bron, how amazing to have foals around the place!
My current object-of-desire would be a housekeeper who would do all the housework, keep the laundry up to date and cook some meals as well. That would be bliss!
Hi, Kandy, and thank you for those lovely words.
DeleteI'm now trying to determine which I would prefer -- the self-cleaning hose or the housekeeper. I suspect this is an either/or situation. Although a housekeeper who also cooked...now that's value adding!
Hey Lovecats, I love the new site. It looks fantastic! And I love that you're welcoming Bron! WoooHooo! Your pride of cats is growing :)
ReplyDeleteFloo and Jack are gorgeous, Bron. Hope your new foal arrives well.
The object of my desire at the moment is softer tissues than Aloe Vera ones, that now feel like sandpaper :) I'm at the tail end of the post-conference flu and my poor nose is sick of running!
Cath xoxo
Hi Cath and thank you for visiting. In case you hadn't yet guessed, I love being part of the pride. So sorry to hear that you are still sick -- I'm also at the tail-end of that horrid bug and finding the worst is the night-cough. I need sleep. Badly.
DeleteLovely interview, Bronwyn and Anne! Bronwyn, your dog is adorable. How lucky you are to have horses.
ReplyDeleteMy object of desire right now is rather modest -- I just want the perfect pillow, one that doesn't give me "Frankenstein neck" or a sore ear in the morning.
Congrats on the swish new look, LoveCats! It's gorgeous.
Hey, Vanessa, lovely to "see" you here. I am lucky in so many ways, one of those being to live in this beautiful part of the world with room for animals to happily roam.
DeleteOuch on the neck/ear combination. Hope you find the perfect pillow.
Hi Bronwyn - welcome to LoveCats....so fabulous to have you here. And yay that you are a horsey gal too (We have seven horses atm) Love your pooch too. And my object of desire at them moment is the new laptop I've been perusing over the weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteHello my fellow horse-loving cat. We are ten at the moment, but several are boarders so really should not count (although they seem like part of the horse-family, so I do count them.) It is a few too many but what can you do? :-)
DeleteOoh, a shiny new laptop. Hope that it is soon yours.
So wonderful to see you here, Bron. As you know, you've always been such an inspiration for me. Every time I write a book I hear your voice in my head "how does she feel, Jen? How does she feel?"
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about the travel. I love, love, love travelling. I'd love to live overseas again!!
Isn't our new site fabulous!!!!!!
Jen, I'm a bit torn over that because *my* voice in your head? Poor, Jen. Poor poor Jen. :-)
DeleteIf you do decide to live overseas again, may I visit? (There may be a few of us, all travelling by Tardis, but we will bring a housekeeper.)
Visit?? I'd be upset if you didn't, Bron!! Love the idea of a travelling housekeeper!
DeleteWelcome, Bronwyn!
ReplyDeleteMy object of desire is a self-running, self-cleaning home! Where the kitchen cooks the meals and cleans up afterwards, all by itself. And every other part of the house operates, so all we have to do is live in it and enjoy! Oh, did I mention the self-cleaning jacuzzi and swimming pool?
Love the new site everyone!
Michelle
Hi Michelle and thank you for visiting (and for the welcome.) Isn't the new site gorgeous? I love the fresh, bright look, perfect for spring.
DeleteI think we're all nodding along to the self-running, self-cleaning house. Does it also baby-sit? Because that would be an awesome side benefit.
Hi Bronwyn, lovely to see you're a lovecat now. I'm loving the new look of the blog and the authors photos along the top is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I desire the most (apart from health and happiness for my family and friends) is to take another trip to Italy, visit all my favourite places by got to all the places I've not been yet and finish up with a ski in the alps. Ahh, I'm floating away there right now.
A more mundane desire (although, fabulous for me) would be to have a house cleaner and gardener every week to take care of all the things that need taking care of so that I could write more.
How are they?
Hey, Leisl. Thanks so much for dropping by to welcome the new-look Love Cats blog with my intro. The banner is pretty cool isn't it?
DeleteI think your range of desires is cool too -- from the indulgence of travel to the more mundane desire to free more time to write. Oh, yeah.
Love the new look!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I desire most is time. There are just not enough hours in the day to do all I want. Maybe what I should be desiring are some magic abilities. THAT would be fun - useful too.
Oh, Mary. Magic. Yes. That is the perfect object of desire because with a little magic, anything could be possible.
DeleteLove that.
Welcome Bronwyn. Very nice new look, LoveCats. Love the lineup of everyone at the top too. I have 2 objects of desire - my first is a trip with my sister to Italy to retrace our ancestors' footsteps. The other is to cut down my day job hours giving me 'normal' time to write, so I'm not having to squash it into a busy, wordfilled day or week... Yep, it's all about me - initially anyway! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Clare and thanks so much for the welcome.
DeleteOf course it's all about you. For this blog topic, anyway, because we're talking indulgence and dreams and things we don't really expect to happen. Like magic and self-cleaning homes and Tardis travel and enough time to do all the writing.
Great interview ... congrats on winning Wheel of Fortune, that is amazing...I have a number of objects of desire ... one would be to write a romance book and have it published ... If I can not accomplish that I have a few others, travel to Italy and just indulge in everything ... the scenes, food etc. Learn to speak Italian, one of my greatest desires of all though is to have a small RV and travel all over the United States and see everything. That would be so AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy
DeleteI'm so glad you could visit the launch of the new-look LoveCats blog (with the side celebration of welcoming me as the newest Cat.) I love your desire to be published and there is no better time to accomplish that dream than now, with so many avenues open to authors. Go for it! Your travel wish would the perfect accompaniment, travelling and writing about all the magical places you visit.
Bronwyn, welcome WELCOME to the LoveCats! We're all so thrilled you're here - you can tell because we made over the entire blog to celebrate you joining us. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of Jack - makes me want to scoop him up. I bet he does the best wriggly cuddles.
My favourite object of desire? I would have said a good book (with the time to leisurely read it) and some chocolate to savour while reading. But now I see all the other great suggestions and I want to change my answer to a T.A.R.D.I.S..
Hello, Rachel, and thank you (and all the LoveCats) for allowing my welcome to piggyback on the launch of the new-look site. It's such a privilege to be here.
DeleteTo be honest, Jack is not much for the cuddles. They're always wriggly ones, although he does love a scratch, which is about the only time he can bear to be still. Needless to say.
My little Jack x, Fergus, is also very wriggly and loves a scratch. But I'm afraid he's had me as his human since he was too young to be away from his mother (dumped), so he's had to come to terms with being cuddled. Though, they're usually quite wriggly cuddles - you can't take the Jack out of the dog. ;)
DeleteWelcome, welcome, welcome, Bronwyn! It's so GREAT to see you here! I'm positive you'll have a blast here, just like the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you, Rachel and Sharon, for doing such a lovely job on this web site! It's soothing and easy on the eyes.
Speaking of easy on the eyes, we come to the question of the day. My FIRST response re favorite object of desire was my husband of 32 years; I love it when he gets that twinkle in his eyes when I'm the only one in his line of sight. My SECOND thought, though, since I'm VERY lucky to HAVE the first object of desire, would be George Clooney. I have "desired" him (and he IS a sex "object") since his ER days. OMG; a girl can dream (which is the whole point of reading my romances, duh!).
Hello Laney and thank you so much for the warm welcome. Isn't the new look beautiful? I'm going to thank Rachel and Sharon all over again for all their work in making that happen.
ReplyDeleteHow diplomatic you are, in making your lovely husband #1 ahead of gorgeous George. I feel an instant bond with you, being also 32 years married, and having a tendre for GC. He also does a mighty fine eye twinkle, does he not?
Hi Bronwyn, great to see you here! I love your books, and still think about your very first one - Addicted to Nick. Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy object of desire is peace and quiet. Sounds weird I guess, but with three grandchildren living with me for the past ten years (yes, I'm bringing them up) peace and quiet is something that's sadly lacking.
Doesn't cost much, but definitely the thing I desire the most at times!!
Bron, can't tell you how delighted I am that you've joined the LoveCats -- Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to be late to the party -- I had an ABBA CD all lined up to go into the sound system along with a tray of hot cinnamon doughnuts too to spread the love and party atmosphere. But, let's cut to the chase -- YOU WON A CAR!!! That is fabulous and brilliant. Speaking of cars, I think sports cars are to die for. If I could afford it they'd definitely be my object of desire. For the time being I'll content myself with something a little less expensive like handbags. I just lurve me a funky handbag. :-)
