I am dying here

by Erin

I’ve been recording the season 1 of True Blood that plays Sunday at 1AM. I know I’ve got the Blu-ray season set coming to me next week, but still, can never get enough of nekkid vampire butt (should so be a delicacy!). So last night I sat down to watch the most recent episode, which was the season finale. After it finished, HBO played a little teaser for the new season. I had to pick myself up off the floor. That was the first one I’d seen. So in my infatuation with the series (and the books — more on that to come), I dug up the trailer and a promo videos.

This is the one I saw (and check out Alexander/Eric – swoon):

Awe.some. Just plain awesome. It’s no secret I love Eric. I just finished the 9th book, Dead and Gone, and loved it. I felt it was too short and that she left a bit too much hanging, but all and all, still loved it. I can’t wait for the next one (which I’ll have to — Dead and Gone was released May 9th). Lots of Eric goodies in it which left me wanting more, more, more.

But back to the trailer/sneak peek… I wasn’t sure how I was going to get over the freaking whack job that Bill turned. Jessica’s voice and whiney attitude just grates on my nerves. But at looking at the sneak peek, it looks as if Sookie sort of takes over and helps – and wow. Total improvement. At least in that scene. Now if they’d kill off Tara. She is NOTHING like she is in the books and that bothers me tremendously. Not that Jessica is in the books at all, but Tara, on tv, is so very different.

Where looking at one month and one day and 45 minutes to it shows. Now if they’d just give us the full hour we deserve. I love HBO but this 52/53 minute crap is killing me.

Happy Mother’s Day!

by Erin

Ah, Mother’s Day.  I woke up reasonably late – 9:40. I spent the next hour or so making chocolate chip pancakes for the kiddo.  After which, my mother called and we decided on and booked a mini vacation down at Wildwood during August.  Nothing grandiose, but we were able to grab 2 nights at a motel with a pool and within a one block walk from the beach/boardwalk.  What was suppose to be a 4 adult 1 child escape is down to grandma, mom and child. ;)

I was given my other gift today (the first being a pair of sneakers that may have to go back – they are opened backed and apparently my left foot is a tad longer than my right, go figure).

I was given the reserve card for the XBOX 360 Ghostbusters game, due out 6.16.09. :) I can’t wait for this game! Being able to fight the Stay Puft Marshmallow guy?! Pure heaven.

After some computer catching-up, I ran to the store to grab some more yogurt (uhm, pleasant MD surprise – down 5 pounds since last Thursday) and headed back home only to run back out to the tennis courts with the kiddo and husband. Not that any of us play, lol, but the kiddo has been itching to go, so we went. And tennis in croc flip-flops takes talent, people, pure talent. Once the kiddo had enough (or more so, *I* had enough of the whining about not being able to hit the ball) we headed back home for some quick BBQ before the husband left for work. We walked away from the courts with one minor injury – not bad!
