10. Red wine glasses are so versatile.
9. Outlander news: Good news and bad news. Bad news first, right? This Saturday is the “midseason finale” (man I hate that term) and it won’t return again until….April 4th. What the heck Starz??? Can’t we just call it Season two at that point? When did we start breaking up seasons? (I’m looking at you Walking Dead). *big frowny face*
Good news, right this minute, (because you all check the Top Ten at precisely 1pm, correct?) Jamie and Claire are having a Twitter chat – hurry, go!
8. You guys – Gandy was photographed holding a Karen Marie Moning book. I want Gandy and Barrons to be lovers. Let’s all just take a moment and think about it. We could call them “Barrondy” and they could be this intense, dark couple who walk around in their underwear and eat steak. #BarrondyForever
7. If I had an ounce of artistic talent, I’d doodle a fortune cookie picture. I think it’s so darn cute (found here). My sister in law wants me to go with her to one of those art classes (there are always groupon deals for them) where you paint a picture in one night. I don’t think she realizes just how poor my art skills are. I think we are going in October – I’ll prove to you how bad it is in a few top tens from now.
6. ANY excuse to look at Joe M, right? And like this post says, his grey – OH HIS GREY.
5. Speaking of hot men (because when are we not?) George Clooney gets married this weekend. Are we upset? Are we over Clooney? psssssst – I’m kinda over Clooney.
4. Speaking of hot asses….I have a rant! These two lovely donkeys who have been IN LOVE for ten years were separated this week when a mother complained that the donkey’s have sex was inappropriate for her daughter. Ummm hello – you are at a zoo. And donkeys loves an afternoon delight. So the zoo people separated them. And after a huge petition was started. they have been reunited. Long live the donkey love.
One day I WILL own a miniature donkey. My husband has been informed of this.
3. Speaking of being horney, my new favorite card – “When I’m with you….”
2. Halloween idea! I love making little halloweeny food. And this looks super easy – just candy melts and pretzels
1. Frrrriiiiidddaaay. I’m currently reading Alex by Sawyer Bennett. It’s still VERY early so I’m not saying much – but – the hero starts SUPER grumpy and a jerk and I’m really into him. I hope it all plays out well. I’ll report back.
Tori says
All I can say about the mother complaining about donkey loving is that someone should have separated her and her husband before they had sex.
I <3 Barrondy
Mandi says
That’s right Tori!
blodeuedd says
Ok a 6 month break is NOT a mid season thing, honestly Starz
Mandi says
right??
Dani Koff says
OMG Gandi with both Barrons & Vishous? Who did this??? I think he should read a couple of scenes from both… just saying…
Mandi says
YES! I’d go to that reading for sure :)
Suzy says
I’m so glad the donkeys are back together. Seriously. I feel sorry the little girl whose mother had them separated.
I think I’ll be taking Paranormal Pretzels to my Halloween parties. Yay for easy!
Mandi says
Those pretzels are super cute :)
Cathy says
Gandy is also holding JR Wards book Lover Unbound . Love that book!
Mandi says
I didn’t notice that right away! Barrons + V + Gandy?? *dies*
Jackie says
I got home just in time for the Outlander Chat. I asked 10 questions and none of them were answered. (I’ll be okay). First of all….Sam is so yummy and I truly think Cait should eat an entire cheesecake. That being said if people haven’t seen this series there is a full run down all day Saturday. Finally, if you haven’t read this guy’s blog yet…run. He’s a freaking hoot and gives the run down from a guy’s perspective. He’s also got a little bromance going with Sam.

First of all, I love the title of his blog LOL. I’m going to drink my coffee and peruse his site :) :)
Might have to watch a little of the marathon today too!
Krista says
“I want Gandy and Barrons to be lovers.”
*stops and thinks about this great idea*
“Let’s all just take a moment and think about it.”
*stops and thinks about the wonderfulness again* ;)
Mandi says
We can sit and think about this all day. No, really. :)
Elinor Aspen says
I once visited our local zoo on a Spring day when love was in the air. The otters have a pool with a plexiglass window, and the male had the poor female pinned up against the glass. There was suddenly much covering of little eyes and pulling children away to look at something else. While some of the parents undoubtedly wanted to shield their children from any knowledge of sex, others may have been disturbed simply because the otter sex looked awfully rapey. A short distance away, the middle-aged lioness was in heat and kept trying to get her longtime mate to do something about it. He was more interested in napping. He finally gave in to her cajoling, finished quickly, and went back to sleep. Alas, no cubs that season (they had better luck in other years).
Mandi says
My goodness. I didn’t realize otter mating was so intense..they are such happy little creatures. LOL
Tell that lion to get off his lazy butt! ;)
Pickle says
6 month hiatus! *weeps*
Mandi says
*weeps with you*
Amelia says
Do you get to bring wine to your paint place? The one I went to allowed wine and snacks. I really didn’t think I was going to do a good job, I can’t even draw a decent stick figure, but I painted a pretty decent looking picture.
Mandi says
My SIL said we can bring wine. I’ll sneak it in if I have to. I need liquid courage to paint. LOL
Amelia says
Here’s a picture of me with my work of art. http://instagram.com/p/qXuVuhlCaK
Mandi says
That’s so good!! I’m super impressed!
