    Money Can’t Buy You Class

    Well that’s for sure as this year’s season of the Not So Real Housewives of the NYC has proved. But don’t take it from me just listen to Countess Luanne, at least I think that’s Luanne in this video (it’s a little hard to tell). And the late 70’s early 80’s talkie sing is a Wow.

    Will you all be watching the season finale tonight? I will and the Andy after. Go team Bethanny. Yes, I’m 40 and on a team. Sooo not mature. Don’t judge. Please.

    Waiting for my Prince

    Oh come on. Am I gonna be the only 40 year old woman on line to see dishy Jake in this movie? I’m sure that’s not true. Fess up now.

     

    I also despite review want to see SATC2. I mean I have to. I just do.  Then there is Eat, Pray, Love where I still can’t remember the best friend/Viola Davis character from the book but yes, I will be seeing that too.

    What movies do you want to see this summer?

    Really? And what year is this?

    So I have this YA book I want to sell called Diva Slave. You can read about it on the books page if you like. And in it this modern Black girl goes back in time to pre- civil war days and one of the details in it is her father is a free Black man and has to walk with his papers at all times.

    So to this I say really Arizona? What year is this?

    I have this Daily Show clip and I kid but there is nothing funny.. really.

    Thanks for all the comments yesterday on what good books you all are warming up with. Some really good ones there. Adding to the TBR pile.

    Today I wanted to share with you one of most fun book trailers EV-AH by super talented writer, Tessa Dare. Her book Goddess of the Hunt was one of my favorites last year. Now watch and Enjoy.

    You can find Tessa over at on her site Tessadare.com here.  Go and tell her what you think and pick up a book.

    Now  tell me what do you think of book trailers? This one is fab, yes?

    2 Kids A Dog and a giveaway

    What’s Jack up to? Why Jack is helping me make new friends on this here internet. Way to earn your keep Jack.

    I’d love to introduce you to Alexia and her family from 2 Kids and A Dog. Alexia got in touch with me after checking out my blog and seeing that we have so much in common being that I have 2 kids and a dog too (although mine are considerably larger. College soon ouch). Alexia is an American mom now married and living in Rome. Cool huh?

    Well, I went to Alexia’s site and fell in love with her wit and humor. Seriously she had me practically falling off my chair laughing at her family webisodes.

    Meet mom here:

    And watch some of the funny here:

    And go here to check out the rest of the cool family and laugh some more.

    Alexia is giving away one of her fun calendars to a lucky commenter and as a bonus I’m throwing in 2 romances from my overflowing shelves (yeah the DH will like this giveaway a lot).

    So comment away. The drawing well be held on Wednesday evening (um sometime before I conk out for the night. 11-ish?) Sounds official huh?

    Best,

    The rain has continued and is now seeping into my basement. Instead of me weeping I will continue with my feeble attempts at mental escape from yesterday and offer this lovely clip. See you tomorrow for more.
