Friday Funnies & Fred

Thank the Lords Friday is here.  Even though I have a hectic weekend planned, I'm still thankful that its Friday.  Since it's a chill day, I thought I'd share with you a few Friday funnies that a friend of mine sent me.  Every week she sends me a litany of texts, peppered with images that she pulls from the web--probably from Pininterest.  Anyway, they always make me smile so I thought I share a few with you.  Enjoy!

And with HBO's True Blood season 5 premiering on Sunday, I couldn't resist posting this one.

Fridays with Fred
Last but not least...Fred!  Summer break is officially here for my family.  My daughter started this week and my son is off as of yesterday.  Yikes!  Fred and I are bit terrified.  Right, Fred?  

Don't fret, Fred.  I still have to work and the kids have summer camp.  Silly, doggie!

Be sure and stop by and visit Schatze over at Mary’s BookHounds too.  She's so flipp'n cute!

Have a great weekend.

True Blood Season 5: Russell Edgington's Back!

For those unaware, the 5th season of HBO's True Blood starts Sunday, June 10th! *shrieks with excitement*  As many know, True Blood series doesn't necessarily follow the bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.  It does somewhat, but the storylines tend to ride askew, and the characters also vary.

For example, in the book Russell Edgington's character was somewhat nefarious, but no where near as wicked as the one in the True Blood show.  In fact, one of the most coveted characters on the hit cable series is Russell Edgington. In season 3, we watched Russell buried alive in cement. So much happened during that season with vamp politics, eternal vendetta's and betrayed lovers that is was all too delicious. That said, one of my favorite scenes was when Russell went cuckoo and appeared on national television. If you haven't had a chance to review this, take a peak! Warning: It's graphic so viewer beware!

Aside from "And now it's time for the weather...Tiffany?"--my other favorite line in this scene from Russell is "We want to eat you...right after we eat your children." Oooh, I can't wait for that freakenstein vamp to glorify True Blood in Season 5. With Russell, you know it will be fun, sick and without a doubt outrageous.

Have you seen this clip? Do you like Russell? Have you watched the series?
