Now that all the fireworks have been dispersed and barbecue has been eaten, it is time to get back into the swing of things. No better way than with a little music. I came across this song courtesy of Pandora and fell in love with it. Immediately I took to YouTube to find the video, but I was looking on my phone and the video was not available to me on the mobile. The story behind the making of the video is pretty cool. As if there weren’t many reasons for my liking The Killers and this video is just another reason to add to the pile. Hope you enjoy!

Well actually it is Michael C. Hall. I have recently developed love affair with the show Dexter, and lets face it, the show wouldn’t be the same with out dear ol’ Dex. There is just a little something about him that makes him worthy of a Wednesday Hottie spot, if for no other reason than the simple little fact that he has entertained me for the last month. (Thank god for Netflix.)
Happy Monday! Here’s to a good week. I’m back to self inflicting torture and working with my internal editor again. Wish me luck. In the mean time, let Gavin keep you a little company.
Okay, not really but today’s hottie plays one on the television series Hawthorne. But before we get to him, I just have to say this has been a rough couple of weeks, at least for me. Please tell me it is going around. That it is a mass epidemic and a cure is surely coming soon. Right now I would just about bite into any little morsel of salvation you draped before me. In the meantime, I give you Michael Vartan…maybe he can help make the week seem a little brighter.
A bit late, but I made it happen. Hope you enjoy this edition of Music Monday.
Well, I have few words this morning. Just yum….
This is my first installment of Temptation Tuesday where I can hopefully help entice you to read some really good authors out there. Perhaps you may find a new author to love, or an old favorite. Whether the stories are new or old, these authors have a great wealth of imagination to share with you.
First installment is one of my favorites and yes, I am biased. Teresa D’Amario’s Dark Succession. Watch the trailer, then go buy it.
I am feeling the summer already. We reached 100+ degree temps here in the desert and then managed to drop down to more reasonable 80′s, and still the summer bug has got me. Nothing like sitting by the pool, washing the car, or just hanging with friends and enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon BBQ. I love this crossover version of the song. Think Jason Aldean does a fab job with it. And for reasons unknown to me, this song always makes me think of my parents. Perhaps because they are fun-lovin’ and the whole need for a weekend BBQ in me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and have a great week!
I just found out that a friend of mine has passed. Memories are powerful things though. I still see her sitting at the desk beside me, smiling and joking as we took reservation calls. I remember the sound of her voice when she told me she was engaged, and the pure joy when she said she was pregnant. Then life ran away with both of us and we lost touch.
Everyone leaves a mark on your life when they pass through it. Some more than others. Unfortunately, we don’t always realize the depth of the impact they had until they are truly gone. That is how I feel about my friend, her impact was not truly felt until I got the call from my mother telling me she was gone. She was a strong woman in so many ways, and like so many of us, just trying to leave her mark on the world. Whether she realized it or not, she did.
So today, my challenge to you is to remember someone you’ve lost, think of the memories, and the marks they have left on your life. Maybe they inspired your pursuit of unrealized dreams, perhaps their strength made you strive to be a stronger person, or their inner beauty made you realize the true depth of the word. Share if you wish, it helps to keep them among us. It is my belief anyhow.
Chelly you will be missed but never forgotten.
Now there are a lot of Robert Pattinson fans out there, but I also think that there are other scrumptious men in the Twilight Saga. Such as today’s hottie who also happens to be a Calvin Klein model…Kellan Lutz. If nothing else… the eyes get me.
(Yes that is blood…he does play a vampire after all. 
)
Now this next one…. I saved for last and I think you can see why.
