10. My Week – Someone just hose me down with some bleach. Rinse and repeat style. Hubs has strep. Kid #2 has a sinus infection and Kid #1 has things coming out of his nose that scare even me. Where does this leave mama Smexy? I’ve slept on the couch for four nights in a row trying to avoid hubs. I’ve bleached and washed this house. And I have to say – A glass of wine a day, DOES keep the doctor away.
9. Thanks to the heads up from Angela James, I bought this “Read” necklace and I LOVE it. This same vendor, also sells a mustache necklace:
I NEED this!! I love a good ‘stache!! Go HERE to see her Etsy shop. (As of last night I think she was sold out of the “read” necklaces, but hopefully she will get more!)
8. REAL Page numbers are coming to Kindle! Finally. I’m so sick of whatever number system they use now. It’s hard to tell a friend – check out that hot scene at 2771-543. HUH? Go HERE for the update information. It looks like you can try a preview of it now.
7. OH HAI Brandon Flowers. This is what happens when I do my top ten list in the middle of the night – I’m high on bleach fumes and have BFlow on the brain. (thank you Kris for this pic :)
6. If you run over to JR Ward’s Facebook page, she is giving us ten days of quotes from Lover Unleashed. Today is day #4. (Yesterday was a quote from Vishous..candle wax and moaning…RAWR!!) I seriously hope Vishous gets a lot of page time in this book. JR Ward also mentioned that Dark Lover (BDB #1) will be released in hardcover later this year.
Also tonight, JR Ward is doing a chat with Dayrynda Jones for her book First Grave on the Right. 8pm EST. Link to chatroom. If we learn anything BDB related I will be sure to pass it along.
5. New cover/book from Jaci Burton – The Heart of a Killer. I like this cover! Go HERE for the blurb. Releases this November.
4. My buddy Samantha, who reviews for Fiction Vixen or you can follow her on Twitter, is doing a 545 mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. A GREAT cause!!! Visit her website HERE and help her meet her goal of raising $3,000.
3. Word on the street is that Charlaine Harris is wrapping up the Sookie series in the next two books. I stopped reading after book four so this does not affect me much. More importantly – How many nude scenes will Eric have next season on True Blood???? I miss his butt! What?
2. The perfect way to say Happy Valentine’s Day. (via Etsy)
1. This weekend I’m diving into River Marked by Patricia Briggs and The Guy Next Door Anthology with Victoria Dahl, Susan Donovan and Lori Foster. I think we have a quiet weekend at home. Hooray! Happy Friday everyone!
note: the contest winners will be announced this evening!
eeep poor Smexy-household.
Alexandar S makes my Friday, oh yes he does.
I love Etsy.com! Also, thanks for the heads-up on the J.R. Ward quotes. Can't wait for LU!
That necklace is super cute!
Good luck against the germs Mandi!
FINALLY, real page numbers. Why did they wait so long to do this?
Those LU quotes are killing me. Has she said for sure if she's doing a virtual signing?

LOL! Thank you Mandi, you made me giggle with that last one. I wonder what bf would say if I gave him one
I am SO tempted to replicate that card for hubs for Valentine's Day. I think he would choke on laughter. And thanks for the heads up on the READ necklace. I must have it!!! :)
P.S. Have you seen this pic of BFlow? I just discovered it yesterday. :) http://smashattack.tumblr.com/post/3226308607/wow-this-is-a-hot-pic-of-bflow-woot
Hope everyone feels better soon. :) And that you don't get everything they have.

Smokin- he makes my every day *waggles eyebrows*
Nicole – I can't wait for LU either!
Julie – I love my necklace!!
PH – Yes, I saw on her message board she will be doing a virtual signing. About a month before release – so end Feb probably!
Blodeuedd – LOL
Ash – I know right – it is silly but funny ;)
I LOVE THAT PICTURE. I have it in print already. I'm such a Bflow dork! LOL
Michelle – Thanks! I'm staying away! ;)
Yea!! I got my read & nerd necklaces. She does some fab work.
I figured Sookie was coming to an end. The last book was meh. The fairies just killed it for me.
Hubs needs that card for V day. It makes him happy when I praise him whaa??
Hope your home gets germ free soon. ((hugs)) Tell Kevin that strep or no strep-he must read book fast. I'll be stalking…I mean watching…I mean…well, you know what I mean. lol
I want the nerd necklace too!!
I had to wrestle River Marked out of hubs hands when it came. How dare he! ;)
Yikes – kiddie germs! Keep chugging the wine! Having no kiddies, I watched a friends sick kiddie so she could work. Flushed face, bright eyes but still able to play. The next day, from my knees, I prayed to every know deity to just please – kill me. That's when I learn the true strength and resilience of the kiddies…
Thanks Mandi! Her board can be a bit hard to get around at times.

Mandi – Thank you so much for featuring my ride in your Friday post. It means the world to me!
I love that necklace. I saw a wall plaque the other day that says, "And they lived happily ever after." I want it, no…NEED it.
Who the hell is Burton bribing/blackmailing/exchanging sexual favors with? Her covers are KILLING.
Only one piece of jewelery I own gets more compliments than my artist made (Etsy & local fairs) jewelery. (that piece is a blingy QVC fake lol)
Hooting snort! Nothing says I love your penis like a I love your penis card.
Good stuff!
*runs off to by a penis…er… 'stache necklace*
Don't over kill the germs. That kills the good germs too- which just makes us sicker. It's a viscous circle. Feel better soon.
Good luck with the germs! Maybe you should save the card until hubs is on the mend? :)
I think Amanda James has several things for a smexy girl – like the octopus necklace (very Parasol Protectorate, don't you think?).
Happy weekend!
Is it absolutely horrible of my that I kinda want that card for my hubby?? LOL
Sorry about the sickness. I hope everyone gets well quickly.
I loved the read necklace!
It sounds like your house has had it rough lately! Stay well, and I think I'm going to try your wine theory. :)
I am so happy that we'll be getting real page numbers on the kindle! Yay!!
I feel your pain – last weekend I washed everything that wasn't nailed down, bleached, lysol-d, EVERYTHING. Of course my son got sick 2 days later :( I locked him in his room and wouldn't let him out :)
Yay for kindle page numbers, and as much as I love Sookie, I'm glad to know it's ending soon.
Fantastic top 10! I love the Sookie Novels even thought book 10 was a bit…ummm…just there. I am excited about the wrap up…sometimes you can only go on so long in a series before it starts to get a little boring. Is the TV series supposed to continue through the books? If so that means 13 whole seasons of hot Eric! Rawr. I can't wait to see your thoughts on The Guy Next Door Anthology. I'm about finished with it and my review will be posted Tuesday…
OH! Jaci Burton's cover looks hot. I miss reading romantic suspense. Must let me know how this goes when it releases!!! I've noticed you're making an effort to read more non-UF books huh? I've been doing the opposite lol :)
hooray for the kindle page numbers!! I know it's all about location location but that's real estate, shouldn't pertain to kindle!!!! ;)
When will we have your review for river marked? can't wait!
Thank you for sharing such an informative post with us, it will beneficial for everyone, It is one of the best sites that I have visited
