Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Oh, Colleen, I can relate. It's fun to hang in a nightie all day ... for abotu 1 day. After that, give me back my life!!
But honey, maybe God's saying
S T O P - Be still.
You're so busy, maybe He just wants your attention for a while. Although, I might argue with the messanger. ;o)
Let Dave wrap the packages. You just try to relax ... like Di had to. ;)
Love you and I'm praying for you.
Bless your heart!
Shingles are absolutely the WORST!!
I think my kids ate Mac & Cheese and fish sticks, or whatever else my husband and 16 year old son could work up, for a month!
My bible study ladies brought some meals and that was so helpful!
I have never been felled like that before in my life!
Give up and go back to bed. Perhaps a Jane Austin marathon or 20 are in order?
North and South with Richard Armitage is a great movie and it is 5 hours long.
Go get back and bed with a dozen movies and give up your self respect, you can get that back later! :o)
I hate it that you're feeling this way, Colleen! I think you've been given great advice from Ane and Tricia! Sometimes we just need to listen to our bodies, and yours is saying it's time for a break.
So kick back and make the most of it! Let hubby pick up the meals, shower you with books and movies! This will be over soon and you'll be better for having rested.
Praying for you!!
You girls are just too happy. LOL I don't WANT to lay around. I'm way sick of it. But I know you're right. Sigh. Pass the chocolate covered graham crackers.
What? Chocolate covered graham crackers? I've never heard of those!!! I see a trip to the grocery in my future . . . .
Have you started the movie marathon yet????
Colleen i do feel for you. I too would go mad stuck in a nighty that long (considering my are of the short variety!
But i know the Bra hurting part.
I have new ones and my back went out a few weeks back helping in a creche. (why is it babies dont want you to sit when you hold them!)
and Then a tummy bug thats hanging on and the bra feels like my back had been murdered. I know i can get relief easier. But praying you will get relief.
I completely understand and can relate. I was only 21 when I had those nasty buggers...all over the left side of my face. They were on my cornea and in my ear canal too. My eye swelled shut. The headaches were awful and I ended up having to repeat the first semester of my senior year of college.
Bless your heart. Sit back and do what you can to relax and let the healing happen.
Have you tried Domeboro solution? It will help with the pain and itching. I was also on a high dose of Zovirax - both oral and topical and it finally worked.
Praying for a full recovery...in HIS time. Bless you.
That stinks. One of my friends had them in his eye. It was awful. My dad had a detached retina this summer and he had to lie face down for a week. He told us, "I've always wanted to have a week where I could do nothing but lie around. now that I have it, though, its the last thing I want to do! You can't do anything!" We ended up borrowing a message table from a friend (which has a hole in the face, you know) and we set up a TV under there (slanted upwards, of course) and would play board games with him, etc. But anyway, stick in there. You have our prayers and suppot.

You poor girl!! My sister had them recently, but hers resolved quicker. My general policy with sickness of this type is to give in to it and just work with it, baby. If I fight too hard, it only prolongs my recovery. Of course, there is spiritual battle, but that's not what I'm talking about. I can pray my heart out (and have others praying for me...) while resting and partaking of that movie marathon. I once had pneumonia that hung on for two months, and I'm convinced looking back that its longevity was directly related to the fact that I wouldn't rest!! Bless you, dear lady, with healing and elves. Many, many wrapping elves. Cooking ones, too. And cleaning elves. Those are my faves! :)
I have wrapping elves coming on Thursday. their names are Diann and Denise! LOL They'll cheer me up for sure.
You're right, Ane. I don't WANT to rest. I need to just give into it. I'd done that for two weeks then thought this is enough. But God obviously has different ideas. LOL
I've heard about getting it in the eyes! It can BLIND you. I should be thankful!
Yikes! I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. I was praying well on the road to recovery. Drat! Know that I'm praying for you!
I gave up Christmas baking this year -- can you believe it? Something had to give, and I said no to dozens and dozens of tasty treats. Next year!
You poor thing! I'm praying that you'll get over your shingles soon! That's terrible! Thank God, though, for wrapping elves, comfortable flannel nightgowns, supportive husbands,and chocolate-covered graham crackers! And Christmas! Thank God for Christmas! :)
How miserable is this? Ugh. SO sorry, Colleen. Di's right. Movie marathons can be the best. Think about all the ones you've never gotten around to seeing, and send Dave to the video store stat!
So glad you updated us. Praying for your speedy(ier) recovery!
Oh, Colleen, like Cara I was thinking you must be well on the road to recovery by now. So sorry for this. But God has his reasons. How's that for a pat answer!
Seriously, I know you'll look back on this and see why He allowed it. As for now, just snuggle up in that old flannel nightgown and be still.
When I was a kid my mom had shingles and couldn't stand a bra either. She wore pj's all day and used to the time to refinish an old upright piano. LOL. That's hardly being still but it worked for her.
Colleen, I love your spunk! Pain is hard to push through, but some days you just have to say, "It's my day, not pain's day."
Nevertheless, keeping you in prayer, friend!
Love, Rachel
Oh Colleen, I had no idea you were in such pain! Girl, you are in my prayers. I'm glad to see that you are taking the good advice of these ladies. Wish I lived close, I'd help the "elves" wrap gifts for you. Love ya!
Oh, sweet Colleen...I understand. That was exactly how I felt when my back was hurting SO badly and I was on so much medication that I felt like I was in a fog 24/7.
I'm just now getting into gear, but I feel so panicked and rushed that I can't seem to enjoy a moment of it.
Father God, I pray for relief for my sweet sister. I pray for a day of no pain, and joy to return to her soul. I pray for strength for her to accomplish her tasks. I pray for peace as she waits upon You. I pray for total and complete healing. I pray for clarity of thought even as she takes her medicines. And I pray for over and abundant blessings to rain down on her in a soothing, healing rain from Heaven.
In Jesus' powerful name I pray,
Amen.
Thanks for all the prayers, girls! It's so worked. I'm feeling MUCH better today. Like I've turned a corner. Dave came home at lunch and said it was so good to see me smiling. There has been little smiling around here. LOL
You are entitled to not look so great in the mirror after being so sick, but I bet you weren't THAT bad. :)
I'm so glad to hear smiling again!
Keep getting better. :)
