Tuesday, random Tuesday

1. Scare Tactics, hosted by Tracy Morgan on the SyFy network is the most messed up show I have ever seen. Just take a second and imagine the following scenario. You're a temp (been there done that). You're working with a reporter. The story involves dead pigs in a barn. When you get to the barn, you're forced to describe said mutilated pig, which looks like a crime scene complete with a strange black circle mark on its back. Then there's a noise across the barn and some person dressed up in the most realistic alien costume I've ever seen darts around a corner. You grab onto the reporter and scream like a little girl until someone asks you repeatedly if you're scared and you scream, "YES" and they say, "Good because you're on Scare Tactics." This is my worst nightmare.

2. I have gotten to the point where every free moment I have (okay, the free moments where I'm not watching Scare Tactics) are spent reading. I listen to books in the car (which apparently qualifies me as a loser), have a book going on my Kindle at the gym and an actual book (usually 2) at home on my nightstand for before bed. I have to finish a book by Thursday, a new one by Sunday, another by next Wednesday and skim a book I've already read for next Thursday. Oh and I should be writing too. And probably sleeping. I might be in a few too many book clubs.

3. Lisa asked me if I could choose any celeb/influential person to read, love and promote our book who would it be and why. I said I'd love a shot of Lauren Conrad reading our book in Us Magazine. Lisa wants Selena Gomez on board. This is a fascinating question and we are adding it to our list of interview questions we always ask stat.

4. Lisa just stumbled across this here blog and we love it. Hard.

5. I spent all of yesterday holding Benny. Nobody can get enough. Lydia practically climbs on top of me when he's in my arms and repeats the same line over and over again. "Look at him, look at him, look at him." She's obsessed. I caught Jack and Lydia almost climbing in his crib where Jack had jammed his finger in Ben's mouth. To defend himself, Jack said, "He just likes to suck my thumb." Ben, I'd like you to meet my friend the Germ. Mia comes sprinting with the paci if Ben makes so much as a whimper and is ready and rearing to jam it in his little mouth. The only person who could take him or leave him is Will. Will is literally about to become a big brother any second and chooses to ignore this fact. Ben is only an annoying reminder.

So that's all she wrote. Got any randoms of your own?

PS: Thank you all so much for your opinions about our friend the DILF. We've managed to come to a compromise that doesn't involve cuddling up with a wet blanket or subscribing to Playboy magazine. DILF stays, but the line now reads...

Before I’d finished gathering my books, the door opened. Mr. Farrow (voted #1 DILF three years running by the fourth year girls), current CEO of Farrow Developers and president of the Pemberly Brown Academy Board made his way in. Now this was getting interesting.
