In Real Life (and yes, the internet is real life, too)
I AM DONE WITH MY JOB! And I did absolutely nothing of importance all week except blog and hang out with friends. ♥
I went to a Charlaine Harris event on Tuesday, and she was hilarious! She is honest to a fault and her delivery of her thoughts is just damn funny. I have no pictures because I didn’t have anything for her to sign. I gave away all my Sookie books because I don’t plan on continuing the series. I just lost interest way back. However, I’m a huge fan of True Blood and Charlaine mentioned that Joe M once told her “because of you, I have to work out twice a week.” And to that, I say, THANK YOU, Charlaine!
Next week, I need to finish tweaking my resume and get on the house hunt!
Favorite Quotes of the Week
It sounded weird to hear you talk so much; normally you only said a few words at a time. I’d never imagined that you’d have a story, too. Until that moment, you were just the kidnapper. You didn’t have reasons for anything. You were stupid and evil and mentally ill. That was all. When you started talking, you started changing.
-Stolen by Lucy Christopher
He kisses me again, more insistent this time, his hands squeezing my waist. His breaths, my breaths, his body, my body, we are so close there is no difference.
-Insurgent by Veronica Roth

I gave up on Sookie too a few books ago but Charlaine does seem like such a down to earth person so I bet her even was a lot of fun. You always get great author events. No one ever comes to my neck of the woods.
Good luck with the job/house hunting!
I would be stalking the big cities near me and make a trip or two, when feasible!
Ooh, thanks for that little peek of man nip. A lovely way to spice up a Sunday morning. And lucky you, getting to see Charlaine Harris! *sigh* no one ever comes to SC. So sad.
I’ve been blessed with some awesome author events down in Miami. And now I’m off to Atlanta, which will surely deliver too. Keep an eye out for your favs, and try to travel to an event here and there, if you can swing it…
Oh, my dream of a link exchange with hunglikeahorse.com! It’s all coming back to me! *crosses fingers and hopes real hard*
I really love that you did nothing all week. Sometimes you just need that, you know? Which I’m sure you do with the field you work in.
*huggles you*
Thank you for linking my discussion post!
*huggles you again*
It will happen! I have faith.
*huggles you*
Gah I wish I had been there. I am also no longer reading Sookie books but I am absolutely obsessed with True Blood. As always, your search terms are epic. Have a great week.
She was a hoot! Glad I was able to go.
Bwahahaha. “AND THIS.”
You definitely deserve time off to do nothing but blog and hang out with friends. WIN!
That Twitter conversation with you, Kelly, and Amanda had me cracking up! Sometimes I get the weirdest spam tweets…but I have to admit, you’ve got me beat this time!
So glad you were able to catch a break this week! Everyone needs one now and then!
Yea, I get some wicked spam email. I’ve been proposed to a few times this month…lol
I think Charlaine is awesome. I don’t watch True Blood. No HBO. But love the book series.
I love your weekly wrap ups.
I don’t have HBO anymore either.
Do you have Netflix? Watch them!!
Oh, and thank you, as always! I try my best to be entertaining.
Lol – that twitter exchange is too damn funny
As is the hot hunk of love you featured 
I haven’t read any of the Sookie books, but am a huge fan of True Blood too!
I will always bring the hot hunk of love.
Looks like you had a nice relaxing week.
I had to contact the bookstore that I ordered Tricked by Hearne from and they didn’t send out the book like they told me they did so I had them send it out priority so that you can get it before you move. It should be there by Wednesday at the latest and if it isn’t then I’m ripping those people a new one at The Poisoned Pen. Sorry about the delays the whole event and experience with them changed dates and they told me they didn’t have the book when they did. I’m never ordering from them again because they can’t seem to run a bookstore.
Lol I saw that tweet about the sex people contacting you. I guess we had all better step back and just wait for the smut!
Have a great week house/job hunting
I was just talking about the book the other day with hubs. I’m sorry you had such a shitty experience with the bookstore, though I am wicked appreciative of the gift.
