Thirteen Guilty Pleasures




1. Reading - it's a guilty pleasure only because I spend sooooo much money on it. *g* I don't feel guilty about the books I read, only about the money I shouldn't be spending lol.

2. So You Think You Can Dance. I LOVE that show. :) Except for Mary whatshername ... one of the judges. She makes me crazy.

3. Home improvement shows. I want to be able to do all that stuff to my place.

4. Shoes. I love them. I have too many pairs of them.

5. Gene Simmons Family Jewels show. Yeah. I'm addicted.

6. What Not To Wear. I want them to take me to NYC and buy a wardrobe and get a fancy hair style and make over. I really really really want this. lol

7. The Wonder Pets. This is a new one. I discovered this show when I started being the nanny for my nieces. *g* The show cracks me up. Click on the link and watch one of the clips. Oh. My. God! LOL

8. The Muppet Show. I want the series on DVD. It's too expensive though. *sigh*

9. Pedicures. I don't get them that often but I would love them to be a regular thing for me.

10. Pepsi. I have to cut back on this. I should actually stop drinking it completely but ... little steps. *s*

11. My new bed. *happy sigh* I just got a new mattress. It's my first non hand me down mattress I've had since my crib probably. I lurve it.

12. Starbucks Tazo Chai Latte. Yum.

13. All of those cooking shows. Iron Chef, Restaurant Makeover, Hell's Kitchen. Love 'em.

ACK!


So as if I'm not busy enough. I auditioned for a part in the chorus for the theatre group I've been a part of for years. Wish me luck! We're doing Seussical. It's a musical based on Dr Seuss's books Horton Hears A Who and Horton Hatches An Egg.

13 Books that have been in my TBR pile for way too long




1. The Soulless by LG Burbank I can't even remember why I bought this book. LOL The blurb on the back is pretty interesting but the cover kinda creeps me out. It's a hard back book that's paperback sized ... that might have been the shiny thing that caught my attention too.

2. The Demon you Know by Christine Warren. I love this series. I have no idea why this book hasn't been read yet.

3. Midnight Fantasy by Ann Major. I can NOT believe I have a category romance this current. I tend to save those (when I do read them) as library books. Too expensive for the page count IMO.

4. Blood Calls by Caridad Pineiro. Another category book? OY! The blurb is cool though. I almost hope that I don't like it because it looks like this is in a series LOL.

5. Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine. Okay. I know this one was buried in the stack and re-discovered when I moved. I'll be reading it soon.

6. The Moon Witch by Linda Winstead Jones. My attention was drawn to this because of the artwork on the cover. Pretty :) It's the second book in a series though. Should I give Anne heart palpitations by reading out of order? *g*

7. Bride of Lochbarr by Margaret Moore. I have no idea why I have this. I don't tend to buy a lot of historicals. Men in Kilts though ... mmmm *g*

8. The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. I must read this soon. Stephen King and Dragons? What was I thinking not reading this one right away???

9. Raintree: Inferno by Linda Howard. Another category but with Linda Howards name it was a must buy. Awesome artwork too!

10.Night Echoes by Holly Lisle. She's an auto buy author for me. So many books so little time though!

11.Vamps and the City by Kerrilyn Sparks. I loved the first book. This just got lost in the stack. (do you see a theme here? lol)

12.The Blood Books Volume One (Blood Trail and Blood Price) by Tanya Huff. Someone told me that I needed to read her books so I bought this on sale I think. I still haven't got around to reading either of the stories though.

13.Night Life by Elizabeth Guest. I saw this in some newsletter somewhere that I subscribe to and it looked interesting.

Wow! I have a lot of reading to do. (this hardly puts a dent in my TBR stacks LOL)

Congratulations Maura!


I was lucky enough to be a test reader for the book Texas Tea by Maura Anderson and I loved it! :) Everyone go check it out at Aspen Mountain Press. Click here to go to her website. I think she has some contests running right now.
