Welcome to Planet Mirth
Trigger Trippers

Sorry I didn't update the trigger trippers last
week. If you want to know all the silly details
about why I missed, check out the blog at
Welcome to Planet Mirth.
Here are a few things that tripped my trigger this
week.

1.  I love a good culinary mystery. Joanne Fluke
is one of my favorite authors and I thought you'd
enjoy peeking at her website, www.
murdershebaked.com. It's really cute with lots of
fun, free recipes.

2.  And here is a classic crazy t.v. moment from
two iconic personalities, Dom DeLuise and
Johnny Carson. You really couldn't describe it.
The Egg Trick

3.  Here's a new twist on the beauty contest.
Several of the Arab Emirates hosted a dromedary
beauty pageant with about 150 camels competing
over the course of three days. No word on what
the most glam dromedary wins in this event.

March Web Contest
Oh my! It's really
March? I need some
reader ideas for my next
two books. Stop by the
lift me up page to for the
details. The March prize
is a Borders gift card
(redeemable online or in
stores.)
