Have a Fabulous Day Today!

This week has gone by semi-fast. Now, that my BFF will be out of town for the rest of the week, I'm sure time will slow down and drag. LOL!

Monday Jack and I went out to eat and to a piano bar afterward. Now, I like to cook, but I LOVE eating out! There's no mess to clean up and I get to eat things I normally don't cook. I'm more of a Southern style Cook. So, when Jack says "Honey, lets go eat Mexican." I'm game.

The Piano bar was fun. There wasn't much of a crowd, and the music was fab. Jack and I felt comfortable enough to be affectionate there, and that's always nice. It's really good to be able to hold his hand, or give him a sweet kiss. We don't always feel safe to do that and the few people at the bar could have cared less, so that made our experience better.

I made Chicken and Dumplings last night, along with Mac and Cheese. After we ate we read Another Dream by Addison Albright, watched Dancing with the Stars. (Yes...I admit it's the ONE show I adore to watch) and had a fabulous time just hanging around each other. You would think after all of these years together, we wouldn't have anything to talk about, or get tired of each other, but for us it's just not the case. I love him now more than I did all those years ago. Maybe that's what true love is about. As you get to know your mate or even your friends, the love you have for them grows as time goes by...at least I think it does.

Today is the first day of Shawn's Vacation. GO HER for pampering herself and doing something for HER for a change! I miss her like crazy, but I'm happy she's treating herself.

I want all of my friends to have a fabulous day today! In honor of my BFF and as a treat for all of us, I give you more eye candy of Ashtyn Long. YUM! He'll be gracing my post all week. If we can't have Shawn, we'll at least get to drool over Ashtyn instead!

MUAH!

I'm guilty

Am I guilty? I so am!

While talking to my BFF, we both made the observation that people don't participate at Goodreads anymore. I am guilty of this myself. Some of the drama and the negative things that had been said was driving me ape shit! (pardon the language, but it was how I felt) After some talking to my BFF and to Jack, we decided to take our Goodreads back.

So, to make amends to my terrible guilt, I'm encouraging all of our Internet and fellow reading friends to return to the place we all used to love to haunt... GOODREADS. We all need a positive place to go to. This big bad world sucks most of the time, and it would be nice to be able to keep track of what my friends are reading and what's going on with them.
If not Goodreads, we all need to find a place to mingle...even if it's for a few minutes a day or even a couple of days a week. We have something spectacular in common. That's the love of reading. It makes us almost like family in some ways because there are so many people who do not understand the beauty of the written word or the fabulousness of a lovely story. I still think Goodreads can be that place.

*Jumps off Soapbox*

ANYWAY, I've been feeling so much better! Jack and I had a fabulous weekend. We visited with his sister and her family, met with some friends and had a outstanding time just being with each other AND we read Still the One by my fabulishes BFF, Shawn Lane, and it was a utterly divine end to Malcolm and Dusty's journey. If you haven't read it, stop what you're doing right now and indulge yourself! It's short, sexy and very hot! YUM!


Thanks again to all of you who have thought about me while I was down. That meant a lot to both Jack and I. You're good friends and we've been lucky to have met and become friends with all of you.

As a thank you, I give you more of Adam. He really is quite YUMMY!
