10. A cannoli filled with cannoli. A good way to start the weekend, yes? (link)
9. Quickie review! I read Make it Count by Megan Erickson a few days ago. I heard it had a nerdy hero so I wanted to check it out. It’s cute and refreshing – I love that it’s a New Adult that isn’t overly angsty or emo. College aged hero tutors the heroine who has an undiagnosed learning disability. The heroine IS dating someone else other than the hero to start the book but it works out well for me. First half is really strong, I think the heroine’s voice gets lost a bit in the second half. But if you want a cute, different NA, check this one out. Goodreads l Amazon ($1.99)
8. There is going to be a female scientist Lego series coming out! It’s about time Lego! The above image is not the final product, but hopefully something similar is released. Legos are a very big deal in my house for both of my sons – I’m excited to get these in the future. For more information go here.
7. First we saw ‘Robb Stark’ riding the subway after you know what happened to him on Game of Thrones.
Now ‘Oberyn’ is drinking a sad latte on the subway. At least his eyeballs and head are looking more intact. (link) Who will be the next character to ride the subway? (wait – don’t tell me!!!)
6. Scott Eastwood (yes, Clint Eastwood’s son) . Just chillin’. Thank you sir for sharing. (see his imgur acct)

4. I don’t care what the reviews will say, I don’t care that I didn’t like the book. I’m gathering my girlfriends, I’m gathering our flasks and we are going to see Fifty Shades of Grey. Because damn Jamie Dornan. More pics here (including one with his hand down his pants, and I looooove a hand down the pants pic *ahem*)
3. Your Friday cute – Is there anything cuter in the rodent family than a chipmunk? I think not. We have one that just runs his little heart out all over our yard and deck. I want to hold him and squeeze his cheeks and give him kisses! In reality he would bite me, poop on my hand and give me fleas. But let’s just pretend he would be cuddly. See more chubby cheeks here.
2. Tori tells me these taste like butt, but I don’t care Tori! I have to go find them and try one. Damn it.
1. Yay for Friday! As you read this, I’m on a field trip with my fourth grader. We are at a nature center and I think snakes and frogs are involved. Keep me in your thoughts. This weekend I’m reading Keep me Closer by Rhyannon Byrd. I’ve never read this author – I’m looking forward to trying this one. Have a great weekend!
May says
Tori would know what butt tastes like! Ha!
I can’t with 50. No. Not happening.
Oberyn… We will never know if you’re good at post battle angry sex now. *sobs*
Mandi says
When I saw Oberyn go down I immediately thought of you :( :( :(
He would have been awesome at angry sex.
SharonS says
O_O does he pose for gay porn? yeah, might have to see it too!
Mandi says
I don’t know…all I know is that I can’t stop staring. LOL
Meghan says
How did Bradley Cooper’s short shorts not make it on the list :(

Mandi says
They will 100% be on the list next week!!!!! How did I miss it??
blodeuedd says
mmm beards
Mandi says
Sums it up perfectly. ;)
Selena Mc says
I can’t see 50 Shades because I’m a book snob & my snobbery won’t allow it. But I will be anxiously awaiting gifs & hopefully a smex scene YouTube compilation from the film. He is definitely a hottie, so please Lord, let there be gifs :)
Mandi says
There will be gifs galore. The gifs will probably be better than the movie. LOL
Amanda says
For some reason your 50 Shades plan has me imagining a Smexy version of Mystery Science Theater
Elinor Aspen says
Yes, please. That is the only way I could stand to watch 50 Shades.
Mandi says
LOLOL. This makes me laugh.
Amy J says
I just got the new US magazine in the mail and I know who the next Subway photo is! She is a diva and her initials are MC. She is dressed all fancy with a look of disgust as she looks at the chair next to her.
Mandi says
la la la – I can’t hear you!
Silke says
A friend of me worked at a cinema. On the 50 shades Premiere they plan to hire a stripper and serve coktails for the ladies ;-) My seat is already booked :-)
Have a nice weekend , Silke
PS loved the cute chipmunk
Mandi says
For reals??? I want to come to your theater!
Elinor Aspen says
I’m afraid I have to disagree regarding the relative cuteness of chipmunks. They are roughly as cute as squirrels (chubby cheeks versus fluffy tail). The chinchilla is the cutest member of the rodent family (and they make much better pets).
Mandi says
Ah the chinchilla. We were just looking at one in PetSmart recently. They are cute. Both are cute from afar. LOL
Stephanie G says
Have you tried the root beer float Chips Ahoy? I haven’t but I’m thinking of buying some and testing them out on my lab rats….I mean nieces and nephews…
Mandi says
I’m not a huge fan of root beer, so that doesn’t sound good to me. But my lab rats would probably like them. (I like that lab rat term ;) )
Brooklynshoebabe says
Hate 50 shades the book, gonna to see the movie anyway. Why? Cuz of every single topless pic of Jamie Doran I’ve seen.
Mandi says
THIS.
