Almost Classy since 1959

My Secret Past

2012-01-15T22:02:14Z

I'd HEARD about Goodreads.com and I think, many moons ago, I had an account but I just set up another account today. And at first, I was all about adding some really meaningful books to my list, like A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer and The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger, the latter of which are truly two of my favorite books in the wide world.

But then (purely by accident. Well, maybe not PURELY) I happened upon the Bodice Rippers Anonymous group and since then, I've been clicking away, rediscovering all the wonderful (occasionally tacky, always guilty pleasure-y) historical romance novels that I was so devoted to back in the day. And as almost everyone who was a romance fan in their 20s, I still have an unfinished (handwritten!) historical romance tucked into the back of the shelves of my study.

I get a fiendish glee imagining the looks on my family's faces if I should kick the bucket and they discover the adventures of exquisitely beautiful young Moira, the Texas rancher's daughter and the studly Galveston ship's captain, Casey, who she is forced to marry when they are caught in a compromising position!

Let me tell you, friends. Her bodice was ripped mightily!

Home from Canada. : (

2012-01-02T16:01:13Z

We got home from fantabulous Vancouver last night around midnight and this morning, I have a mountain of laundry and other chores to accomplish (not the least of which is one of those NY resolutions to get off my big, round ass and get back into shape).

Still feeling a tiny bit jet lagged (hey, I'm old, it goes with the territory) but with a houseful of Christmas decorations to deal with and said laundry mountain, I have but a minute to post. Vancouver is like no place else - there was rain, mist, drizzle and being drought-ridden Texans, we loved it all. We only ever use our umbrellas when we travel, it seems!

Hope everyone had an awesome holiday!

Another Time I Thought John and Rodney were Sleeping Together

I was going to make a picspam called Another Time I thought Joe Flanigan was Hot. But I think I'll save that for another day. This one is about John and Rodney and all the times I KNEW they were doing it.

From a Geek to a Babe in less than 39 days

I don't know how many Survivor fans are reading this but I am one, and while this season has been so-so on the drama factor, up until two weeks ago, the hotness factor was through the roof. And yes, I'm talking about luscious Brendan Synnott.

After he was voted off, I got curious about him and went to the CBS Survivor site for a picture of him before the show. And I couldn't find it. There's a lineup of photos of all the cast members for Season 18 and I just could not find him anyway. And then, I realized why.

Nrrrgh. I hope he doesn't revert to his former self for the finale. Because SurvivorBrendan gets my vote for the hotness contestant since Colby Donaldson. Hands down.
