We have nowhere left to go ...

This is going to be one of those all over the place posts. I have a lot to say and I'm not afraid to use it. (?)

Book #55 - Safe Harbor by Christine Feehan - The 5th in the Drake sisters series focuses on supermodel Hannah and dangerous sheriff Jonas. My favorite part? Well, that would have to be that the cover of the book has our hero hanging out on a boat while our heroine pines for him on the dock. Why is this the best part? Because the only time Jonas is on a boat is when he's getting set to kill some evil mobsters. And he sure as hell doesn't do it shirtless as he's looking in Hannah's direction. Sometimes I wonder if the people who decide on the covers and such have even read the book. Anyway. Good book. I'm seriously looking forward to the final two installments.

Part 2 - I was invited to a reception last night for one of my co-workers and found (to my horror) that the dress I was planning on wearing was reaching that point where it was no longer wearable. It's a long, mandarin style black dress with red and gold embroidery. The embroidery was starting to pull away and fray. Ack! I was planning on running out to the mall to try to find something else to wear, but the fam's plane was nearly an hour late getting in and I ran out of time. I had another dress I ended up wearing, but it kinda drove the point home that I need to have a few good dresses on hand for those formal and semi-formal occasions. I have to admit that I'm a wee bit excited about going clothes shopping for some good clothes for myself.

The reception? Well, the 3 vodka and cranberries made it a slightly buzzed and fun, fun, fun time. Although the guy wandering through the guests singing in Spanish with his 7 piece horn section blaring away did make it slightly hard to hear anything.

Now, a cool thing - I dreamed last night. Gross, scary, disgusting zombies coming to life and trying to get me and mine. We're talking crushed and exposed skulls and dangling flesh. The best part? It totally wasn't scary to me because I have my family back! I woke up from crushing the skull of one of the zombies trying to get me and heard Cole breathing in the night and it made me smile. Then I went back to sleep and proceeded to figure out that you had to do more than crush the skull of the zombies, you had to actually decapitate them. Thus, we began chopping.

I have no words for how thrilled this makes me.

Things that are coming up - Tomorrow I have a meeting in the morning form 9-11. Then I get to head home and hang with my boy. I need to be back at work at 5 that night for a server conversion that starts at 6 pm and will last from 10-12 hours. If I'm doing the math correctly, that means that I will be leaving work between 4 and 6 in the morning. Needless to say, I will not be working Tuesday.

I have an AWESOME Flist - heather13 has said some good stuff about Kelly Clarkson and so, seeing as I had little more than a passing acquaintance with some of her songs from the radio, I decided to buy Breakaway and My December. Heather, you give good recs. First, you and tlace rec The Office and now Kelly. I really, really like her music. Thank you.

I think I'm done now. But maybe not. I could be back.

Breakaway is definitely a good album. I bought it a while back. I love Gone. One of the best.

[soulswallo.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm enjoying both albums quite a bit. She has a pretty voice.

hello. it's me eric. hello? (click-dial tone) sorry having some sort of a weird flashback that might or might not have happened several years ago. i, uhh, you know, thought i'd just comment and say hey. reads like you're doing very well. cool. randomly, when i was going through some issues, i kept asking myself, WWTCD. and the only think i could come up with was, he would be mowing down a turkey leg like that king from lord of the rings while a hobbit sings him love songs, nothing but love songs. yeah, i found it a bit strange myself. but whatever. i do have to take you to task on one thing, how in the world could you've left out 'aliens' on yer 5 comfort movies? seriously, you know the lines better than ripley, newt, hudson, hicks and even burke. maybe not gormon, but still.

ok, i've clogged your comments way too much and i've got to get up hella early, so i'll go. take care.

Wow! Eric. I thought you'd been swallowed by the toilet monster or something. That toilet monster can be brutal.
Aliens didn't even cross my mind. Mostly because I've seen it so many times that it's only fun now if I watch it with other people.
WWTCD!

I am so glad you're in my life.

[soulswallo.livejournal.com]

ha! Ditto.

ZOMBIES! :)

You bought Kelly!!! YAY! I have some acoustic stuff of hers here. Please d/l it. You won't be sorry! It's like hearing new songs.

Okay, next rec: Friday Night Lights. I have them all and will gladly burn and snail mail them to you, if you're interested. I'm making it my mission to get as many people I know to start watching it.

[soulswallo.livejournal.com]

She has the most vibrant voice in the acoustic songs. It's so dynamic. Thank you!
I think I'm ready to cave on FNL. :)

[heather13.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! She has such a lovely voice and I think it gets lost because of all this crap with her record company and winning Idol.

YAY! I think neversince and tlace will start to bombard you, as well, until you relent :)
