10. It’s Friday the thirteenth! It’s a full moon! There are solar flares happening! *peeks out from behind box of wine*
9. Author news round-up! Anne Calhoun discusses her upcoming releases (I want them all!) Jeaniene Frost releases her cover for Bound of Flames (Vlad’s third book). Kristen Ashley gives a little tour of where she writes all of her hot books. Courtney Milan has released the first chapter of her July 15 release, The Suffragette Scandal. (want!)
8. This is a week old, but it is so top ten worthy I can’t ignore it. Bradley Cooper and a Navy SEAL in short shorts. I love some short shorts y’all. Go here for more pics- the phrase “Cooper’s Pooper” is used and it may be my most favorite phrase ever. LOL
7. Let’s talk about Chris Pratt for a moment. Chris is best known for his part as the dumb dumb Andy in Parks and Rec (I adore him in that show). Then he did the voice in the Lego Movie. But now…now you guys he is going to be in the upcoming Jurassic World movie, and dude has been working out. Sexy, muscles, motorcycle and dinosaurs??? My kids are dying to see this movie…mama is too boys. Mama is too.
(oh there is this too – if I stop drinking beer, will this happen to me too?)
6. Buzzfeed released the 30 Hottest Bearded Men of the World Cup and many, many people sent me the link. I love you all. Because hot beards + hot balls = Smexiness!
We all win.
5. There is a statue in South Korea of Spiderman with a big boner. (Go here for a closer shot) You guys, I can’t make this stuff up. When I saw this, I immediately texted all my girlfriends because boners are funny, right? Especially upside-down boners. All the blood is rushing…to which head?
4. Everything should be served out of a bowl made from chocolate chip cookies. (link)
3. My summer is now complete. I can shove a foldable flask of wine into my purse – because why not? $12 of fun. (thanks Ashley!)
2. This week we officially reserved two baby pygmy goats, to arrive later this summer. Why are we doing this? I’m not sure. But goats are damn cute you guys. And while we are only getting two, and not 44 – the above video is your Friday cute.
1. It’s Friday. It’s the last day of school for my kids. My husband is getting together with his buddies and doing some primitive thing where they sit around a fire pit and cook big turkey legs and do other man things….it’s the full moon – I won’t question it. I’ll be inside with the girlfriends having a cocktail *wink* Have a great weekend! Read something Smexy!
Phoebe Chase says
Now I want giant turkey legs while being stampeded by baby goats and men with beards in short shorts.
Mandi says
This sounds like a typical weekend in my house… ;)
Jen says
Soooo you reserved goats? What are you going to do with these goats?
Mandi says
That is a good question Jen. LOL. My ten year old son is the one obsessed with pygmy goats, and since we have a big enough yard we thought – why not? Of course the actual preparation for the goat – building a little barn, putting up fencing – learning how to feed the goats – is a little more work ;) But they will be mainly pets…entertainment. I want to first see if we will like having them before committing to breeding or milking.
Amelia says
I’m told that Mercury is in Retrograde which added to today’s other two “events” it’s a tipple threat kind of day. IDK
I love the short shorts! One of my favorite movies is Heartbreak Ridge, lot of marines in short shorts in that movie.
Mandi says
Well – it is now Saturday morning and I survived Mercury in Retrograde so are we safe now? :) Come to think of it, I drove home last night and didn’t see anything weird! I feel cheated now.
Selena Mc says
I own the Foldable wine bag. It is a big part of my life :) lol
Mandi says
Why don’t we hang out? ;)
Christine says
I loved the cookie bowl and the pygmy goats made me smile! I do have to say that I have a problem taking guys in short shorts seriously. Can anyone say “chafing”? Happy Friday!
Mandi says
LOL. I hope they powered their manly bits.
Sharlene Wegner says
The short shorts are creepy! I love the Spiderman statue, though! And those cute little goats!
Mandi says
Maybe one day short shorts will make it back into mainstream style. One can dream… ;) (if my hubs wore short shorts I would die laughing)
Sharlene Wegner says
They just don’t look that manly. Or comfortable!
Jody says
No, No, NO, on the short shorts. I was around with the Magnum PI short shorts and I have seen too many balls squeeze out. Not a pretty sight! Men need to think about their underwear situation with those kind of shorts.
Mandi says
Too many balls squeeze out….if that isn’t the sexiest sentence I ever read ;)
bungluna says
Loved the short shorts. Never enough hot men legs in my life!
Mandi says
This is a very good point! BCoop has good legs….looking around my neighborhood. Yeah.
Brianna (The Book Vixen) says
Those goats are so adorable! I can see why you want one (or two). Who knows, maybe you’ll start collecting them :)
And Happy Birthday Tori!!
Anna Richland says
Magnum PI! Thanks for the reminder – I’m almost out of Castle episodes to watch, and a little trip down memory lane to Hawaii might work. But I agree that short shorts are not over all a good thing. A lot of distracting wrinkling, no way to adjust. Feel sorry for the guys. I much prefer high tech running tights on a dude – they hold it all in place and make long sleek lines. Nice views.
Mandi says
As mentioned, their balls might fall out of short shorts which is not a pretty sight. high tech running tights…interesting. LOL
Anna Richland says
Mr. Richland runs marathons (19 at last count) so I know what I’m talking about! Unfortunately, he smells icky when he comes in from running in his tight black tights. That’s where reality gets in the way of Romancelandia.
aurian says
Lol great post Mandi! Enjoy your wine and your cocktails and the hot guys in short shorts! Mmm Magnum PI brings back happy memories! Goats are kind of smelly though, small or big.
Mandi says
I live with my husband, two sons, and a dog. Smelly is my life.
Krista says
TV show recommendation: PlayingHouse
It’s on USA and it is hilarious!
Mandi says
oooh thanks!
Alesa says
Mandi have you seen this one??

Think you will like!! ;)
Why does the English team (or the German team where I live now) NEVER look like this. Go Spain …
Mandi says
*dreamy sigh* That was lovely ;)
blodeuedd says
Those shorts were too short for me
Mandi says
LOLOL
