You Can't Make This Stuff Up

You have to check out this eBay listing for a trading card for one Jamie Fraser; Hockey Player. Here's a hint: He's got red hair! I cracked up when I saw it!!

OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD!

JaymieJ - you are my FAVORITE PERSON ON THE PLANET TODAY for introducing me to these commercials!!!!

HELL (to the) YES!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to JaymieJ who posted a comment under my "You Know You Miss Jamie When..." post yesterday. She posted this spectacular feast for the eyes... and I just HAD to share it with all of you. Enjoy! I know I did!!!!

You Know You Miss Jamie When...

You KNOW you're going through Jamie Fraser withdrawal when catching sight of THIS GUY in your basement makes you stop in your tracks. Is there no hope for me, lassies?!

Got any silly Jamie moments of your very own? Lets hear 'em!

Another Great Outlander Chat!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Outlander Chat tonight. What a great time! We had 21 people chatting at one point (and a few more lurkers to boot! And everyone is welcome! Chatters AND lurkers!)

I apologize if any of you had a hard time getting in and I assure you; I DID TOO!  The chat website I use made me upgrade to their paid plan because we had more than 10 people in chat this week. And I'm not complaining... because I LOVE TALKING OUTLANDER!!! :)

Outlander Chat Tonight: ENTIRE SERIES!

Come join us at Outlander chat tonight to discuss anything and everything in the series!  9PM Eastern!

I AM FINISHED!!!!

TOP TEN things that go through one's mind the day after finishing An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon:

10) Oooh I have ten minutes - I'm going to read!!! Oh. Wait. Shit.

9) How fast can I read the whole series a second time?

8) 2 years 'til new Jamie?!?!?! Give me the phone.  "911, What's your emergency?"

7) Does anyone know where I can get a wolf?

6) "How many bullets are left in this gun?"

5) EFF the Kindle. I'm buying the books! I need to do MAJOR PAGE FLIPPAGE right now!

4) "Edward? Jamie?" (yelled like "Cindy? Bobby?")

3) Did somebody say "cliffhanger"?

2) No dirk-carrying, cup-draining, peach-splitting or herb-collecting for HOW long??

1) Claire, you ignorant slut!

LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH INDEED!!!!!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT (HOLY GOD THIS WOULD BE A BIG FRIGGIN SPOILER ALERT) Dinna read unless you  have read chapter 95 in AN ECHO IN THE  BONE. 

OH!
MY!
GODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claire and Lord John Grey, SITTING IN A (holy mother of god on high) TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Dear Jamie,

You now have my blessing with the Indian women.

Love,
Carol

Love the One You're With

SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you have read chapter 93 in AN ECHO IN THE BONE. 

I am never going to finish this  book if I don't stop STOPPING. But I canna help it; I have to blog. I have to write. I have to get all of this toxic shite OUT of my brain. And I also have to seek solace in YOU good sassenachs.. because you have all read this and have been through this gut wrenching ride I am now taking. It. Is. Killing. Me. And yet... I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Is that odd? Do I need therapy? I'm thinking the answer is "yes" on both counts.

OK all I really want to say right now is this: If I were Claire... and I was told Jamie was dead... and William walked into the room... I would ab-so-lute-ly LOSE IT - and I would DROP at his feet! If they are such doppelgangers, I would have my arms round his ankles and I'd be yelling "I LOVE YOU JAMIE!!! I LOVE YOU JAMIE!!!" as he tried to shoo me away with his - ah - shoe.  It would be one ugly scene. And Tracey would undoubtedly be rolling her eyes at my mother and saying "Someone really needs to get her some Valium".

OK have to go finish 93 and hopefully the book. I'm at 94% on the Kindle. It's 7:09 and The Pacific (aka awesome show on HBO starring Joe Mazzello who is MY YOUNG IAN MURRAY) is on at 9:00.

Pray for me por favor...I'll be back with an update soon!

PS - Has anyone realized how eerily calm I sound for someone who is soon to finish Echo?  I am starting to worry about myself. Truly.
