Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Work is WAY busy right now. I'm not complaining about that because I'm thankful to have a job. What I'm complaining about is not seeing Trent. Since Monday, I have spent a total amount of maybe 2 1/2 hours with him. Today I saw him for 20 minutes. Brent is being super dad (again something to be extremely thankful for). He sends me pictures throughout the evening of what Trent is doing and a picture right before bedtime. It makes me happy to see my little guy but sad to be stuck at my office. I hope this project flies by! I guess the good thing is I will finally be forced to stop nursing Trent. {grin}

Review: True Blood Season 1

After reading all 10 (to-date) of the Southern Vampire books, I've been watching the show based on the books, True Blood. You'd have to live under a rock to have not at least heard of True Blood.

Synopsis: True Blood chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps... where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse works as a waitress at the local bar, Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron - 173-year old vampire Bill Compton - and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other.

My thoughts: I enjoyed watching the series and can see how so many people have been sucked (ha ha) into it, but I think the books are way better (which is usually how I feel). Had I not read the books, I'm not sure I'd keep up with the show, but I'm interested to see if the series will keep following with the books...sorta. The first season has the same outline as the first book but many extra characters and plot lines. Overall, I really enjoy it but wouldn't trade the books for it!

Favorite character? Most definitely, Lafayette!!! He is awesome, hooka.


Has anybody else read the books vs. watched the show? If so, what do you think? How do they compare?
