obviously lagging on this thing.
went out to a bar with friends Friday and tried to stay up to watch men's gold curling. didn't last. Still..nice win.
helped prep for wendy davis gala up at Southfork....if I've learned anything is that most every "organized" group is basically just flying by the seat of their pants. But hey at least they're trying...
Voted. and as she said "What will you fight for even if the odds are stacked up against you?"...especially in my county. 

Tried Delicate Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan - no go - DNF - couldn't draw me in.
Finished Roomies by Christina Lauren - another friends little sister. Not my favorite of theirs.
Re-read Beautiful Player - I'd only remember "liking it" and the running part. Yep good read. 

draft from last week:
lord I've come *this* close to going off on people on social media this week...

 to go after traumatized kids with conspiracy theories to try to sidestep an obvious dilemma is nuts.

Last weekend - friends/socialize over German food dinner friday night. Friends/socialize and Chinese food for dinner Saturday night. Better conversations are always had over good food.

Read a lot this weekend -
Kresley Cole - Dark Calling - uh yeah this love triangle back and forth is tainting the story.
#4 in Lauren Blakely's Big Rock series - the doctor and the bf kid sister. still fluffy. 
#3 Badd series -Jasinda Wilder - basically all about the gals issues
and skimmed through Mark Manson's - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck - repetitive, like the simplified approach
The List -Tawna Fenske - strangers quickly jump into it. He misleads her....eh. 
Wicked Horse - Sawyer Bennet - weak story plot, , he's using her for revenge. i think really i'm just over the "erotica club" thing. 

Friday ended up being an impromptu girls night - had a great dinner, we got tipsy, I danced one song ( and was ridiculous way out of breath. I used to be able to dance all night! ugh), Adam Hood was wonderful. I wrote him a note that said "we had a shit week. This is therapy. thank you" and gave him $20.

Saturday I recovered with all day Olympic watching
...same on Sunday.
Really I think I was so lazy my body was like WTF...

speaking of...we were watching the olympics and my own husband says
"Her? She doesn't look American."....at I don't remember which event we were watching. 
I turned to him, "What does an American woman look like?"
" Blond, maybe blue eyes..." and then fades away kind of realizing what he saying.
I said "You're what's wrong with the world...." smh

and no i'm not numb to the 18th(?) U.S. mass shooting this year already that's happened in Florida - I'm involved as much as I possibly can be to get freaking military grade assault rifles out of the hands of civilians. It makes no logical sense....even for "fun".

I read L Blakely's  first 3 of the Big Rock series and they're just pure mindless fluff-  Kresley Cole's comes out today I'm going to jump over this weekend between writing postcards and more Olympics.

had a lady yell at me over the phone at work about how "highly offended" she was about the Hubig's pie story and illustrations in Bon Appetit.
So (not having any idea what the story was about and with no interest in engaging in this kind of conversation with a stranger at work) - when she let me get a word in, I told her, "You have a right to your opinion. I'm sorry you're offended. Here's the number to edit in the corporate offices etc.".
That set her off again...ugh...

I got curious though ....especially cause she talked about New Orleans and how "tired of people thinking Southern people are dumb. People from Portland aren't any better than us in the South."

So I looked it up...there's no way she read the story - or maybe she just saw the first illustrations? Cause what it was, was  a change-of-heart story...
Wish the lady would've read it....cause really it just made me want to eat pie...in New Orleans.

I did write the author, telling her I liked the story (and that lady was livid...so I'm sure she was gonna be making big waves...her rage was sure to reach the author)

umm I've already forgotten what we did last weekend -
oh we had dinner with the H's...vented. Nice as always!

Finished MZapata's From Lukov with Love - and lord that gal can just draw things out...it hurts so good. I kept looking to see how much was left to eobook and I almost wanted to stop reading so I could draw it out longer.
And the premise just in time for the olympics...the obsession has begun.
Jamie's going out of town tomorrow - might go see Adam Hood. My mini's been playing him a lot so I think it's a sign I should go.
