All Men Are Created Jerks and other Random Musings (BONUS Review)

Ah Mondays, don't you wish the weekends were longer and you can pack more stuff into them? I sure do. The way things have been going I'm behind on everything I wanted to do at the house, from painting to setting up rooms. I'll get there eventually but it's slow going.

So I finished Suzanne Enoch's Sins of a Duke. I enjoyed this book. Of course I've always liked my heroes forceful and in charge. I also enjoy a kick ass woman and this book had both. Sins of a Duke brings Sebastian Griffin, the Duke of Melbourne and Princess Josefina Katarina Embry in sights of one another. Princess Josefina is from South America (this is rare, usually I only come across Jamaica in a historical romance novel). Sebastian is the head of his family (duhhh, the duke) and when he is tasked by the Prince Regent to be the liaison between the Embrys and England. He is instantly attracted to Josefina and that really surprises him because he hasn't been attracted to anyone in the four years since his wife's death. He does have an adorable daughter who gives him advice on love (she's seven) so you have to enjoy a story where the man can be forceful one moment and then tender with a child the next. Anyway, the Embrys are in town to do two things, one is to gain a loan to help set up their newly founded country Costa Habichuela and two, to find a husband for Josefina.

The King of Costa Habichuela, Stephen Embry is an Englishman originally and requested Sebastian because he wanted to make a match there between Sebastian and Josefina. The only problem is that Sebastian really things that there is something wrong with the way the Embrys are describing Costa Habichuela. He starts to do some digging and definitely thinks that they are lying. Are they lying? No clue. I ain't telling you. But I will say that this is a continuation of The Griffin Family. The series starts out with Sin and Sensibility, followed by An Invitation to Sin and Something Sinful. I haven't read the others in the series but I did enjoy Sins of a Duke so much I am definitely going to go looking for them. You can read Chapter 1 at http://www.suzanneenoch.com/

Today at work is supposed to be S.T.A.R day and apparently we were supposed to come dressed up as a celebrity. I didn't get the memo till this morning so my celebrity is well. Me. Anyway, a drag queen just walked in. Go figure. I'll try to snag a photo later.

My head is throbbing today not so sure why, but it's probably a lack of sleep issue. Anyway I will be back later with a continuation of The Interview!

Monday Mornings

Monday Mornings have GOT to be the worst. I know, we go through life dreading Monday starting with school when you have those two days for Me Time. I forget what Me Time is because come Friday when I am released for Cube Prison, I have an entire list of things that needs to be done. Laundry, dishes, cleaning, mow the lawn, clean the car, grocery shopping, meal planning, trying to finish that book I've been reading for over a week, trying to find a PLUMBER for goodness sake. The list goes on and in reality I know I may get maybe three things done because I am above all a procrastinator. I spent the weekend pretty much watching reruns of House Hunters and worrying about finding a plumber so I can again experience the luxury of water in my kitchen.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that? Seems I have a copper line under the dishwasher that has split and I had to cut off the main water to the kitchen. I'm now washing dishes in the bathroom sink. Gah.

Anyway, back to Monday. You walk in the door at 7am to work and you are immediately assaulted with the smell of the one place that makes you nauseous. The smell of computer dust, fly traps and desperation. I do not look forward to today's calls I have a feeling it will be one screw up after another.

I miss Friday. Anyway, that's my randomness for the day.
