BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN

Well, Hell's Bells!  In the month I had to take off from doing really anything, I've managed to let my house go all to hell, gain 11lbs. and leave my kids and husband without a workable amount of laundry.  Poor Hubby tried to do laundry and ended up bleaching his clothes all out. So, I'll probably spend the better part of the next week catching up on laundry and dying the color back into his jeans, if I can.

I also need to get my messy house in order.  Usually, it's neat as a pin because that's how I like it, but what can I say?  When Mama goes down, everything follows!

However, I did manage to read all of my Sookie Stackhouse books, and I'm all caught up. I'm excited to see where Charlaine Harris plans to take my favorite southern heroine!  The cliffhanger on the last book had me reeling a little bit, but it's okay.  Charlaine's books are so much better than True Blood, but I think it's because in True Blood, there's an expiration date. You can only keep people looking exactly the same age for a maximum of 7 years,  After that, it starts to show through.  So, all of the story lines that they want to cover have to be blended in such a way as to wrap up the story in X amount of time.  Which is a shame because I'm enjoying the cavalcade of hot guys! ;)  I also caught up on my True Blood DVDs! :)  I like Alcide the best because he reminds me of my husband, both in the books and the show.  Yeah, that's about what my Hubby looks like, and that ain't not bad!

My auntie has a sort of fascination with Aleksander Skargard. (I need an umlaut!) I think he's ok, but my big Scandinavian crush is Alan Hyde, who's too adorable for words! Check out his online show: "Alla Salute!"  It's hilarious! I think it's obvious I've had a lot of extra time on my hands this week...lol.

Well, I plan to post reviews of the Sookie Stackhouse books as soon as I find mysef having more free time, though it won't be anytime soon.  But for my SVM pals, just to clear something up, Sookie has Eric's blood twice in DEAD IN DALLAS and again in CLUB DEAD.  Eric has Sookie's blood twice in DEAD TO THE WORLD...I'll go back over my books again to see when he has her blood the third time, but suffice it to say that while reading of their 'times' together, it's hardly my first concern.

mildly off-topic side note: My husband has decided that he likes the name sookie for our next baby girl...not really sure if I'm a fan or not. I'd have to live with it for a while to see, but I'm definitely not saying no! :) Although, I'd spell it differently. Maybe Suky? We'll see!

 Have a good week Y'all!
