How much do I love...?

Just had to re-sign my lease for 6 months.
The cute guy (probably kid is a better word for him) in the office was chat-chat-chatty and semi-hitting on me if I do say so myself.
We talked about school, etc - and then he asked how old I was. HAHA
Why do I love that question? What I love even more is making people guess.

He told me "you have a range". Safe. His range for me was 20-25!!
I'm in love with that kiddo! haha. His face was like...hmmm....when I told him I'll be 33 in Jan.

Note: He may just be horrible with guessing people's ages like I am. haha. But I'll take it where I can get it!

The book the sassed me back

When I was in Houston for work last month - on the way back in the airport I bought a book. This shop was bigger than most book stores you find in airports and I had plenty of time to browse. Usually I have in mind a book I've been dying to read - but this trip...not so much. So I'm walking around and Chatty McGee - the guy working the shop - kept offering to help me find something. Which always bugs me. It's like asking the waiter "what would you suggest" when you go out to dinner. You don't know me from the homeless guy off the street - so how about you tell me what I would like to eat tonight. haha. That one always makes me laugh.

Anyway - so I'm looking and I see this section titled Mystery. I usually like a good - make you think, scare you a little kind of book. There's an author that I'd read a couple of times called Mary Higgins Clark and it was always an easy read. At the time I couldn't remember her name just knew she wrote a lot of books. So when I picked up the book titled Vision in White by Nora Roberts (there was quite a lot of books written by her as well) I figured..yep this must be it! And being a mystery book about a wedding - it had to be good right? I figured there would be some blood on the dress, some axe murdering ex-boyfriend come to break up the event, steal the bride. Who knows!

I'm of the addage - judge a book by it's cover. Usually if the publishers/writers can't muster up a little effort to market a book so I want to read it. You win! I probably don't want to read it. After I got onto the plane and started reading - I kept wondering where the mystery part came into play. (FYI - my hindsight can be your tiny fortune....Nora Roberts is a romance book writer. What these books were doing in the mystery section - I will never know). HAHAHAA Laughs on me even further when I got totally hooked. I read the book in one day! LOVED IT! In face just bought Book 2 of the 4 book series yesterday when I was out with Melissa at Target (and just finished it too!) SUCKER!
