LOVER UNBOUND

I've started reading JR Ward's LOVER UNBOUND. I'm not very far into yet, and so far...

I don't know.

As usual, the characters captivate me. I almost feel about this book like I feel about some of Stephen King's books--they capture me and take me where I don't think I really want to go.

Vishous's relationship with Butch is just confusing.

And yet, I want to go read right now!

So anyone else reading LOVER UNBOUND? No Spoilers but what do you think?

I'm A Wife Not A Babysitter!

Two blogs in two days! Am I on fire or what?

Hey, who said I was procrastinating?

Anyway, so I read an article on stopping your man from cheating.

Uh, say what? Did I marry a man or a child? He's an adult, and either he honors our vows or he doesn't. My job is to be the best wife I can, not mother him!

Here's a list of suggestions from the article:
To prevent your husband from cheating on you, do this:

-- Attend company events, such as the picnic, even if you don't really want to go. Your presence may be enough to keep him from flirting with other women and for other women to not get ideas that he is available.

-- If you're away on vacation while he stays home, check in on him by phone and even in person, if possible, by coming home unexpectedly.

-- If he is away, find out where he is staying and get the landline telephone number. "Cell phones are the greatest aid to infidelity ever invented other than the Internet. You want a landline. With a cell phone, he can be anywhere," Houston advises.

-- Be alert. Remember, the wife is often the last to know. If she is paying attention, she will be the first.


Holy cow, if marriage is that much work, if I had to live in constant fear and vigilance, why bother?

Fortunately, I married a man, not a boy. Even better, I married a man of integrity. I don't have to be his moral compass, he has one of his own. I don't know, this article just irritated me.

But you all know I'm easily irritated! What about you?


And for your viewing pleasure, I thought I'd include a picture of my version of a hunk. As my sons get older, I find myself shying away from the young hunks, because, ewww! Too close to my son's age and that's just creepy! So I stole this pic from Katie MacAlister's blog

Checking in

Latest song downloaded: KEEP HOLDING ON by Avril Lavigne.

And seriously, don't we have to hold on for this latest ride with OJ Simpson? You know the saying, "If I wrote this and tried to sell it, all the editors would say it's too freaking unbelievable."

What do you think?

The last book I finished was Karen Rose's DIE FOR ME. Have any of you read it? I liked it, but not as much as COUNT TO TEN. The killer in DIE FOR ME was scary, cold and creepy, but the pacing of the story was slower. I loved fast paced stories--the ones where I can barely breathe. Still--Karen Rose is a wonderful writer.

Right now I'm reading Lisa Jackson's ALMOST DEAD. This one I'm having a little trouble getting into. I'm not sure what I think yet, but I will keep reading.

What are you all reading?

Do I Like It? Or Not?

Newest Song Downloaded YOU AND ME by Lifehouse. I am trying new stuff :-)

It's getting closer to the release of EXTREMELY HOT! The release date is November first, so it may hit stores as early as the last week in October. I am really interested in the response on that book. It's one of those books that I just can't judge for myself.

Speaking of books, I just read Karen Marie Moning's DARKFEVER, and I just couldn't decide if I liked it. And yet, I keep thinking about it. She really did some interesting world building that seems to have captured my imagination. I must like if I keep thinking about it right?

Do that ever happen to you? You ever read a book that you aren't sure if you liked it or not?

And of course, I am waiting for JR Ward's LOVER UNBOUND! It's supposed to be out September 25th!

Bad Jen!

I haven't been blogging...Very Bad Jen! There really hasn't been much to tell.

Let's see, latest song downloaded on my iPod--WICKED GAMES By Chris Isaak. Cool song!

Latest disgusting gossip: Rita Cosby's new book, BLONDE AMBITION, that claims Larry Birkhead and Howard Stern were lovers, and Anna liked watching a sex video of them. Seriously, who needs to know that?

I'll work on posting more. So what's going on with you all?

BLOOD MAGIC
