Will miss you, but have a great and safe trip....where are you going btw?

Does the hotel you are staying at have a gym for guests? If so, you could get in some quick cardio to off set the calories you are eating. If they don't then I would try to keep the eating in perspective and try not to go over board.

Good luck and I hope you have a great time!!

To be honest every time I see the words 'historical romance' my mind translates it to Barbara Cartland 

OK so I know it's bad form to discussion one's mistress with one's wife but this new mistress of my is....interesting. For instance instead of re-reading they say re-kilting and they write in, what I can only assume, they'd classify as 'Scottish' ie. "I canna" "I ken" "give me a wee moment" etc; it's hilarious! There a thread were someone's made a excel spreadsheet of all the sex scene in the series  I'm almost grateful Twilight didn't have any!  Though regardless of that, I still love you passionately and we're not getting divorced!   

Not cool?  C'mon!  You sure are being argumentative since you've been on that other board!       The backwards hat is hot.  How can it not be?   

The accent...  oh the accent!  I'm curious if you folks on that side of the pond think that American accents are sexy?   Wait, haven't we all had this conversation before?     I think it lead to Astro or somebody uploading how her ipad read "mmmmm!" in fics as millimeter, millimeter, millimeter (instead of a sexy sound) 

I've gotta agree with Mrs F - backwards hats, so not cool and it totally reminds me of Marky Mark. 

I love the American accent, especially peeps down South.
I went out (by went out I mean slept with  ) with a guy from Louisiana for 2 weeks just cos I loved his accent. 

Just to Hong Kong. 4 days vacation, 3 days business.

Que horror!!! Go to a gym while on vacation?  As you can already predict, it will take me a loooooong time to lose weight.

Only had about 2 hours sleep before leaving for my flight. Been going non-stop since 3am, it's now 5:40pm. All the walking under the sun at Disneyland should help me lose some weight, right? Walking and sauna? 

This mall has free wifi for 20 minutes so am now sat at a bench, drinking milk tea, checking the thread while the 5 other girls i came with are out shopping.  not much of a shopper and am a bit pooped after the heat and walking. But it has been a blast so far.  Just recharging for a bit before hitting the stores.

And can i say, damn, the wifi here is fast! i downloaded Rob's ice bucket challenge for later repeated viewing.

Laters, baby!

Hope you have a great time on your days off.

I'm from Louisiana. 

Loopy, just so you know, a Louisiana accent is not an American accent.  Louisiana, despite being part of the United States, is a whole nother country.  I say this as a neighbor to Louisiana.  And, around here, people tend to think that parts of east Texas actually should be in Louisiana (kissin' cousins, you might say).  IMO, it's not even a southern accent.  It's a Louisiana accent, or it might be a Cajun accent.  It just depends on what part of Louisiana he's from.

FYI, I made certain assumptions about what you meant by going out with him.  Apparently, my assumptions are correct.   

I have a question. Now that, I assume, there is no more Robstern shouldn't this blogger change their IP address to Mostly Rob With A Side of Sten?

If you don't like action/mysteries you probably won't like the Gravity Series. There are lemons eventually, but not as much as in the Angel series.  The Angel series is much better than Twilight. It actually picks up 2 years after he left in New Moon. In this one, he didn't come back right away. No visit to the Volturi, no Renesme.  The mating bond is much stronger than Twilight. Bella has a similar power but better. And lots of lemons. She actually writes lemons well. I just don't need so many. 

I'm not big on Mafiaward, so I understand not finding a type of story interesting.  I like mysteries and action stories so I thought it was good.   

I just finished The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher. It has mostly 4/5 star reviews on Goodreads, so I thought I would like it. Nope. How often do you find yourself reading something where you really don't care for any of the characters?

This one was about a woman that ran into her ex-boyfriend, who was the love of her life, even though she dumped him. He was in an accident and forgot most of his memories, so he wouldn't remember her dumping him and she tries to win back his affection even though he currently has a girlfriend. I don't know. I found it so hard to sympathize with her because she is seriously the biggest idiot. He wasn't all that great either, except for being described as a handsome British Casanova type.

But it's a trilogy! So there's a book after about his shallow girlfriend/future wife, and then his book where he's divorced and trying to get back with the first woman, even though she's now married.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I've had this book on my iPad for absolute ages (its sequels too) but something has stopped from reading it...it did strike me that the story didn't really have any sympathetic characters and the plot was a bit screwy.
