True Blood- I'm a Sucker for It.


Get it?

My clever play on words.

I'm a "sucker".

As in "blood Sucker".

I crack myself up.

My obsession started last season.

I could only dream of it during the summer, as we had no HBO at the summer place.

I came back home and watched 4 episodes in one day.

Heaven.

Bliss.

Eric.

I am obsessed with True Blood.

And, completely and totally devoted to Eric.

For those of you not watching True Blood {and living incomplete lives}, Eric is the bad boy version of a vampire.

He's tall.

He's blonde.

He's immortal.

He's smokin' hot.

He's a "sheriff". {And you know how I like a man in "enforcement".}

Sigh.

So how about you?

What's on your mind these days?

This post is my feelings EXACTLY.

Seriously, I freaking LIVE for this show!

It's sort of ridiculous.

Just like Eric is sort of ridiculously perfect/sexy/amazing.

Oy, this show.

That is all.

Oh, and I love your play on words, suckaaaa!

Amazingly enough, True Blood is on my mind too. ERIC more specifically.

He's the definition of hawt. End of story.

I do not have HBO. Weep for me. Like Suzanne's hubs, though, I read the whole series this summer. One after the other - like M&M's. Nom nom nom.

Sounds like a great show. No HBO here, though.

I'm waiting for Biggest Loser to start up again.

Oh, honey, I was drooling all over my pillow on last Sunday's episode.

A naked Eric, whispering sweet nothings in my, I mean Sookie's, ear?

Just short of heaven, I tell ya.

My husband loves this show, so I'm forced to watch it. I don't actually like it much at all and I usually sit with my scrapbook magazines while it is on, but...I have to say...that Eric has caught my eye, too. He is certainly making it less of a nuisance to have the show on! LOL! Of course...he has some similarities to my husband which cracked HIM up to say the least! LOL!

I've never seen it. I'm a little afraid of taking on ANOTHER obsession.

My husband watches it! (I find it funny that he does, considering the books were meant for a female audience!) I like the storyline, but the blood and gore is too much for me! I cover my eyes during those parts! So, I'm not obsessed, but I do know what's going on . . . wanna talk about obsession? Just ask me about football! (Steelers or Trojans!!!)

The vampire thing just isn't me. I can appreciate that it's made careers for a lot of talented authors...it just doesn't interest me at all. I'm more into ghosts and paranormal investigation, that sort of thing. That's not a craze in fiction yet (although it is on TV) so I'm doing my best to force a new trend!

Love the Fleur-de-lis on your blog (they are one of my favorite symbols).

Also love your play on words! :)

I have a poll in my blog if you want to give your input!

I just started watching it last night. I have netflix delivering the entire 1st season to me. Episodes 1 and 2 of season 1 were kinda boring. I hope it picks up.

I gravitate toward the sexy bad boy, too (um, don't tell my husband, the straight laced business type).

Um...
I'm all over Eric
Did you see the bedroom scene last week.
What am I saying? Of course you saw that greek god body.
I pray they let his relationship with Sookie go according to the books. ;)

Nothing really, so I'm thinking I need to check this out (but, and secret here, that's the name of one of my sons - kind of ups the oog factor - darn it.)

He's pretty good looking, for a vampire! Don't have HBO

Just stopping by from SITS to say Hi; hope you'll do the same.

I'm with sassy stephanie in being a little hesitant to take on another obsession. I watch very little tv but what I do watch becomes...an obsession. Maybe I'll try an episode and then buy the season so I can cure my fix! I have to watch Lost this way as well.

Oh, Eric how I love thee!!! Have you read the books? They are great and let me say the actor that plays Eric is everything and more that I imagined in my mind Eric to be. My husband has become a tad bit concerned about my Sunday obsession. He thinks it is funny and amazing how fast I can get all the kids to bed on Sunday nights as opposed to all those other days of the week.

Between you and Lula there is no way I cannot check this out. Going to google right now the status of the show like if it's on DVD and stuff since I don't have HBO.

Vampires are cool! All the ladies want to go to prom with a surly vampire thanks to Twilight.

I have to check out True Blood.

What's on my mind these days? Well thank you for asking. I am working on a little project on my Bliggidy Blog called The Poetry Project.

My goal is to relocate the poet in me.

Stop by and say hello if you have a moment.

I haven't seen this show. Or read the vampire books. I know, I know. I always get into things about 5 years after they are popular : )

I will tell you what show I am obsessed with. The Real Housewives. OH MY GOSH. When it is Thursday at 10 pm I won't talk to my kid or my husband. It is just me and those CRAZY psychotic and HILARIOUS Real Housewives : )

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin
