I am obsessed with this:


That, my dear friends, is exactly what you fear it is. The Lingerie Football League. And it is EXACTLY what you think it is. Scantily clad Playboy bunnies running around playing football. I blame Lisa for this new obsession. Because ever since she IM'd me and said, "Have you heard anything about the LFL?" I can't stop thinking about it.

First of all, the concept just blows me away. How in the name of Hades do they keep their uniforms on? Wait...that might be the point. But there are teams all over the country! This is a real thing. Do wives suspect THIS is where their hubbies are going when they say, "I'll be back in a few hours, honey. I'm going to the game with the guys."????

If I were a straight suspense writer, I'd be all over this. I could totally see an undercover mystery plot here. And if I wrote erotica, I would be TOTALLY all over this. But, alas, I don't write either. And though I am intrigued, I can't wrap my mind around an adventure plot involving the LFL. Maybe someone else will take the idea and run.

In the meantime, I'm sure I'll still continue to think about this one. It's like whenever they run specials about Hugh Hefner on E! I can't stand the guy, but I can't look away either.

And on that note...this is a pic of me and the DH from Halloween:


How was your Halloween? Did you dress up? And I have to know...did you already know about the LFL????

Today I'm over at the Mid-Willamette Valley blog talking about faith (a timely topic given the holiday) and books. Hop (pun intended since Easter is on Sunday) over and leave me a comment!

I'm Thankful For...

...the fact Thanksgiving Vacation is over!

Oh, man. It's been a crazy week here. The Gremlins were off school ALL last week due to conferences and the Thanksgiving Holiday. Couple that with the DH who is home recovering from surgery, and you can only imagine the chaos. So far (and there are still several hours left before the vacation is 'officially' over), I think we suffered 3 major catastrophes...a broken candlestick (which I loved), thanks to a Superman game the boys played that involved a blanket as a cape, running and (of course) screaming - paint all over the kitchen table because someone (Gremlin #1, no doubt) neglected to put papers under her 'masterpiece' - and a ball point pen, which was applied not-so-lovingly (by Gremlin #3) to the back of my red leather chair. Needless to say, I'm more than ready to send these Gremlins back to school. And I'm very concerned about the upcoming two week Christmas break. Ack!

Good News...DH is doing much better. He seems to have turned a major recovery corner and even managed to go to the Civil War game with me yesterday. Of course, it would have been even better if we hadn't been spanked by the Ducks (oh, just saying that hurts), but at least the tailgating was fun. I don't even want to talk about the game. I'm still in mourning.

Tomorrow is December! I can hardly believe it. 30 days until STOLEN FURY releases. EEEK! I'm finishing up the last bit of touches on my December contest, and it should go up on my website this week. Will post the details when they're all ironed out. In the meantime, I got another fabulous review, this one from Night Owl Romance. You can read the entire review here, but here's a highlight:

"Stolen Fury is a great debut novel in a trilogy. It's fast-paced and intensely suspenseful. It definitely had me on the egde of my seat waiting to see what would happened next. The chemistry between Lisa and Rafe was scorching hot and I enjoyed their getting to know each other. They disliked yet were attracted to each other and it was fun to see them fight it. I thoroughly enjoyed Stolen Fury and look forward to reading the next in the trilogy, Stolen Heat, coming Summer 2009."--Night Owl Romance, 4.75/5

So tell me...how was your Thanksgiving?
