I want to dance like Uma Thurman

C'mon, do it with me. The parted-fingers-across-your-eyes dance. Yep, feeling it. And, you'll be feelin' it, too, if you win a $15 Starbucks Card. Details below.

(Quick side Note: I wrote this post after listening to Fall Out Boy's new hit song.)

Septem-bah

"Bah" as in back-to-school, back-to packing lunches, back-to soccer/dance/scouts not to mention "Parent Night" filling up every free gem of my time. Bah! Someone buy me a pumpkin latte!

Who named her kid, Apple?

Trivia Time! No, it wasn't Uma Thurman, but none other than Gwyneth Paltrow.

Check out my miniature apple trees:

Two years ago, as I was finishing writing SECRETS, LIES AND APPLE PIES, I was flipping through a garden catalog (probably at somebody's soccer practice) and Whoa-Nelly, I came across a listing for two trees with the same apple-y names as the characters in my novel. Chills, right?

This year my little Braeburn and Gala trees have a few apples on them! I'm so excited I'm working the Uma Thurman dance one more time.

Time to bake a pie?

I'll need a few more apples. In the meantime, I'm baking some fun, exciting chances-to-win. Want in? Of course, you do!

Here's Septem-bah's Super Easy, You're Goin' Love Me For It - I just know it, Chance-To-Win:

One lucky reader can dance like Uma Thurman with one hand and sip her free pumpkin latte in the other! You could score a $15 Starbucks Card simply by liking and sharing a Facebook post. See, super easy. I told ya you're gonna love me for it.

Gimme the details ...

The winner will announced on September 23rd (which just happens to be the first day of Autumn around these parts.)

EASY and YOU'LL LOOK SUPER-SMART TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS! I mean, you're sharing one delicious read. (Take a bite, I mean a look: on KINDLE or on NOOK) And you're among the first to discover it before it becomes a bestseller and then a movie starring Uma Thurman or Gyneth Paltrow or someone like that. And (let's just assume you won), you'll be the envy of everyone in line at Starbucks who has to pay for their cup of steaming serenity. And I'll be forever grateful for your kind act of sharing my work, so you'll score karma points from the universe (if you're into that sort of thing.)

3 Quizzes: Which Type of Apple Describes You???

www.audryfryer.com

If you were an apple, what would you be???
Whether you like your apples baked in a pie,
pressed into cider, as an i-phone/pad/pod/whatever
or as an expertly written, page-turner of a
novel of delicious deceptions (ahem),
you'll love this fresh picked barrel of apple themed quizzes!

QUIZ #1

Buzzfeed: Which Type of Apple are You?

Answer about five questions, many including animals for some reason, and botta bing, you get your answer!

I was the Pink Lady. As I once dressed up as Frenchy from Grease one Halloween when I was junior in college, I think the apple could describe me (or at least, me more years than I'd like to count ago!)

QUIZ #2

Reader's Digest: Quiz: What Kind of Apple are You?

I loved how they described their quiz so much that I cut and pasted their description right here:

"Are you a bad apple? The apple of someone’s eye? Sweet as apple pie? Apples can be used to describe several kinds of people – but which type of apple reflects your personality? When you check your results, you might be surprised to learn how apples possess many human-like qualities. Ready? Let’s see if the apple falls far from the tree."

I was a McIntosh which I think qualifies me a "good apple". Today I'm going out into the world knowing I'm "refreshingly sweet"!

QUIZ #3

Blogthings: What Kind of Apple are You?

Don't have much time? This quiz is for you! Five fast questions. Ready, set, go!

And, my answer was ... Gala Apple. Yes! One of my favorites! I like it so much it's the name of one of my characters in Secrets, Lies and Apple Pies (available for Kindle and Nook - $4.99 wink, wink). The quiz says I'm "cute and sweet" and "sassy and fresh". I love it!

So, Which Type of Apple Describes You???
