- My 2-year old said “I love you, mommy” without me telling him I loved him first (that’s BIG for that introverted one)
- This week, I became a published author
- I just celebrated another year of life
- I was serenaded by Daddy
- I knew there were some pretty nice people that I associated with, but I didn’t realize just how many wonderful people I know. I am still floating on a cloud thanks to the amount of love and support I received this week
- I took a picture of me this week that I actually like (I am SO not photogenic)
- My husband prepared the most awesome celebration meal! Shrimp ravioli, garlic parmesan shrimp, king crab legs, and creamy spinach served with champagne and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. My tummy is STILL smiling!
- Fellow authors were so supportive of me by giving me and my book shout-outs on their blogs. I’ve also got a few interviews lined up
- Multiple people have reached out to tell me they either bought my book, plan to or already read and enjoyed it (what a giddy feeling!)
- I got a bouquet of flowers delivered to my house (I love flowers)
- I went to the DMV to renew my driver’s license, and was in and out of there in less than 15 minutes
- An author I have great respect for reached out to me personally to offer her congratulations, professional advice, and to tell me she bought and read my book and what she thought of it. I’m still gushing!
- I’ve made blog posts 4 days in a row. A record, for me!
- BONUS: I won a free book in a contest! (I never win anything!) A copy of Robin L Rotham‘s Enemy Overnight is mine, all mine! What a week!!
I hope you’re having a good week, too!

Oh I'm so glad you had a good release week!!!!! Congratulations!
Really, Wanna, congratulations all around! And again, Happy Birthday!
BTW, that meal you described sounded awesome when I said it out loud! Yum!
Thank you. That meal WAS awesome!
Awww … I love posts like this.
Happy Birthday, Tatiana! I'm so glad you've had such a great week. You deserve it! 
Congratulations! I need to read and then may hit you up for an interview if you don't mind. Keep floating, dear! You do deserve it.
Nope, I wouldn't mind doing an interview at all! Thanks Darla.
Great list! Happy Birthday and congratulations on your new release!
*hugs*

Thanks Paige!
I finished reading your book last night! So awesome I had to tweet about it! Congratulations again!
Like? Ma dear, I LOVED IT! And you owe me a cabana boy if you keep writing steamy scenes like these!
Heh, then I suppose I will have to get a cabana boy and get him wrapped up and delivered to you, because I'm no where near done!
*smooches* Love ya, CC!
What an awesome week! Makes mine sound pretty lame, LOL! I'm really trying not to be jealous. My husband doesn't cook–ever–and he hasn't sent me flowers since Mother's Day six years ago. I'm going to show him your post and see if I can guilt him into taking me out for dinner. *grin*
Congratulations!
*giggles* Well I hope you get a bouquet AND taking out to a lovely restaurant soon!
Thanks Robin!
Oh, and your week was even better than you thought–you were one of my winners of a signed copy of Enemy Overnight. Email me at robin@robinlrotham.com if you would like it.
Wowza! Yes, that definitely another sign of a great week!
*updates my post*
Hey Ms. Wanna!! Read half of the book last night. Can't wait til the weekend to finish! I'm so happy you had a fabulous week. So fabulous, you could name 13 good things that happened by Thursday! Now that's special. BTW, can ummm…Slausy pass the recipes for that meal over to a certain somebody…hint, hint…
So cool that you're reading it!
Girl that meal was goooood! He's the type of cook who just whips things up off the cuff, but I'll let him know you want his recipes!
Great week! It's always fab to get the support of people you respect and like – and you totally deserve it!
OK so whycome I got a little misty-eyed reading this week's 13 Thursday
Go Wanna!!!!
I got a little misty-eyed writing it
YOU ARE MY HERO!
What an inspiring and awesome list! ~hugs~
Happy Thursday!
*kisses both your cheeks* Mwah, mwah!
I'm so glad you had such a neat week. Congrats on your release.
Thanks Shelley!
yep, it sounds like you've had a FANtastic week! Woo-hoo!!
**cheers with you**
Whoohoo! Congrats on your book sale!
Thank you Alice!
A fabulous week indeed — I hope it continues through the weekend!
Thanks Heather, I hope so too!
Your 14 points add up to a pretty perfect week! Congrats and well done and everything like at, once more. However – "I am SO not photogenic"…..whatevs! I beg to differ, young lady….
Slaus gets a hearty hand-shake for that meal, that sounds utterly delish. I love seafood, so was licking my lips at that…..
Seafood is my absolute favorite food. If I were to ever become a mermaid, they'd kick me out of the ocean, I swear.
