Smexy’s Top Ten – August 8th

August 8, 2014 by Mandi 23 Comments

pizza10. Saw Kat tweet this last night and it pretty much sums up what I want my life to be.

mrfree9. Hey! Moira Rogers has three books, all firsts in a series, for free right now. Crux, Wilder’s Mate and Cry Sanctuary. I recommend them all. You can go to their site for the blurb and buy links.

holidayon ice8. Jaci Burton released her cover for her upcoming November Play by Play novella, Holiday on Ice. I’d like to play on that ice if you know what I mean. I’d like to slap some pucks around with his big stick.  (do I even know what I mean?)

burned7. Speaking of covers – KMM just posted the cover for Burned and a teaser on her Facebook page. If the release date doesn’t change again, it’s coming out in January *stares at KMM*

 

dickrun6. I’m a runner, and a friend of mine sent me this article – “Female Runner Who Uses Nike+ to Draw Dicks is an American Hero.” When you use a running app, it tracks your route with GPS, and then you can view it when you are done. This fine lady runs in the shapes of dicks. So of course, I immediately opened my running app to see what shape I run in – sadly it’s nothing dirty. It’s either a straight line or a circle. I have failed!!! I need to put some serious effort into this and run in a peen shape. I will report back.

5. Outlander officially airs tomorrow on Starz, but they’ve released the first episode early and for free if you want to check it out. (You can also watch from the Starz website). I watched and you guys….I thought they did such a nice job. The chemistry is great between Jamie and Claire. I’m really excited.

Each Sunday Michelle Monkou and I will be recapping and sharing our thoughts on the Outlander episodes at the USA Today HEA blog.

 

50-shades-of-gray-cake-34. Someone made a Christian Grey/Fifty Shades of Grey cake. I’m not sure what to think – but I do appreciate the chest hair and happy trail detail. LOL This isn’t the only cake that exists. Go here to see more.

3. Your Friday cute.

2. Have you guys ever made Chicago style beef sandwiches? I have it going in my crock pot right now. It smells so good I want to bathe inside my crockpot. It’s just a 4 pound chuck roast, 3 cups of beef broth, one packet of italian salad dressing mix, 1 tablespoon of italian seasoning, one chopped onion and three minced garlic cloves. Cook it for 8 hours, then shred and serve on sub rolls. It says to put pepperoncini rings and other hot peppers on it if you want. And oh yes I want.

1. This weekend I’m reading Six of Hearts by LH Cosway. I’ve heard great things. Happy Friday everyone!

    That Burned cover. I wonder who that is supposed to be. Do we have a blurb yet?
    I hope its supposed to be Ryo and not Barrons. Makes me wonder if Ryo takes a back seat! I hope NOT!

      I assume it’s Ryo – since he gets an eventual HEA with Dani in this series. And I hear there is sex this time too! ;)

    LOL! You really need to work on your hockey euphemisms. When there are common terms like “wraparound”, “scrum in the crease”, and “nice stick handling” …

      I have failed all hockey fans.

      My kids play rugby and it’s funny to hear the coach shout “Hooker, put your balls out!”

      I’m the immature parent on the sideline dying of LOL

    Maybe one of your finest top 10s yet. I want to be a runner just to run in peen shapes. I feel like that takes planning and I am way impressed.

      It DOES take planning, hence me still running in a circle. :/

      I think I need to run in the city where there is more of a grid. lol

    LOL I love the snoopy cartoon. If it said bacon I would totally steal and place on a t shirt.

    Some hockey terms that make me giggle: Butt-ending, Five on Three, Five on Five, and my fav…the Referee’s crease.

    I have nothing to say about Burned because until it’s in my hand, I still don’t believe it’s even been written.

    Hilarious baby! So adorable.
    Saw the Outlander episode and will definitely keep watching. The first half was kind of ho hum but I understand they needed to set it all up. Once Jamie in his kilt appeared…oh yeah.
