Oh Craig

No one has a sense of humor anymore. I thought Craig making things harder on his fellow competitors on The Mole was pretty funny. But nooooo. Cry like babies they all did. Pout and refuse to play those reindeer games (or llama games, as the case may be) they did. None of them seem particularly motivated by the money. Which makes a game about winning money somehow less than exciting. They all seem very motivated by being on television. Oh yeah, and bickering, whining, name calling, and, in general, exhibiting behavior that is surely making their families proud. Yeah. Not such a fun crowd really. Or show. I’m so disappointed. So was Kristen, who failed The Mole Test by a whopping one second and was sent packing. Leaving Dr. Nicole (who is a GYN I wouldn’t let within ten miles of my… person) as the only female left in the game. Whereas Craig seems like the only human left in the game.

Is it September yet? We get Probst and Our Phil back in the fall. Both Amazing Race and Survivor are coming back in September. Until then, it’s slim pickings with only a Dance show here, and a Design show there to keep a girl company. So wrong, really. After a long day spent battling million percent humidity and cranky summer people, we need our froth, our fun, our Phil. But no. Denied. So I am forced to be content with watching the young people dance and random MACing.

In other news, don’t forget to enter this week’s rockin’ SHaQ Attack contest. Details in Monday’s post.

I also wanted to announce that headway is finalllllly being made on my Extreme Makeover: Website Edition. (Yes, that is the reason my home page still has the Christmas reader letter on it….) So, cross fingers we’ll see a spankin’ sparklin’ be-yoo-ti-ful new babe home here in the next few weeks. I, for one, can’t wait!

Happy Hump Day!

They call me a wanderer…

Okay, not so much me, but my satellite dish. My LNB is wandering. (Don’t you hate it when that happens?) The LNB is the cone thingie (warning: technical jargon. Stay with me.) inside the dish that collects the data from the satellite thingie. And it’s roaming. Or just fooling around. I’m not sure. But the bottom line is that The Mole was mostly a pixilated mess, which means I have to wait and watch that on the net sometime later today. So, tune in for Mole MAC tomorrow!

In the meantime, how about that Roger Federer, huh? Am I the only one who wants to see him extend his streak at Wimbledon and get one back from Check Out My Guns Nadal? Just me? Well, there aren’t any Americans left in the draw, so I have to root for someone. (Yeah, yeah, the Williams sisters are there, but I try and pretend they aren’t.)

Also - big doin’s in this weeks SHaQ Attack contest. Check out Monday’s blog post for all the exciting details. And your chance to ogle the cover model for my August release, The Black Sheep & The English Rose. Just sayin.

And, speaking of my upcoming release, check out Turn The Page Bookstore for all the details on my upcoming July 12th signing! Yes, they’re also holding the virtual on-line signing for those who can’t attend. Oh! And I’ve gotten a sneak peek at Nora’s upcoming hardcover (which she’ll be signing) Tribute and it’s wonderful. One of my all time faves, right up there with Montana Sky and Carnal Innocence. Mmmm, Tucker Longstreet. I might have to get that one back out for a re-read.

So…what is everyone reading? I just got Janet’s Fearless Fourteen. Other new additions to my soon-to-be-read pile include Cathy Lamb’s The Last Time I Was Me, and Anthony Capella’s The Wedding Officer. What’s in your beach bag?

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
