I never heard the Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp and now it’s all I can hear in my head!

Yeah, she’s ridiculously good at singing. People don’t like her based on her persona or whatever, but girl can saaang.

I DIED when she talked in a French accent during her Celine impersonation. I hope she hosts SNL soon because this gift needs to be shared with the world more often.

Do you happen to write for “Smart Bitches, Trashy Books”? Because your comment suggests to me that you would be a PHENOMENAL guest reviewer!

I hope you like it. I enjoy it immensely.

You’re my Hero of the Day today. Congrats!

Night Princes are like technology/security company owners or body guards for women being hunted down. They are always former Navy SEALs and wear tight black t-shirts and are very surly...

Acquaintance in University wrote a paper on Romance Novel Euphemisms. My favorites were “moist honeycomb” and “fluttering love wallet”. Its been 10 years and my friends and I still insist on referring to lady parts as such.

I am going to start calling my husband my “caliente love bundle.”

My favorite strategy for busy days was, “Let me run and check the back for you!” so I could answer the phone that was ringing off the hook, and then answer two or three lines in a row by telling the person on the phone, “Ah, yes, I see we have that in stock, let me just run and check the back...” *while I was in the…

“we had to create sub-Love Bundles; regular and Christian due to complaints from our more devout romance-novel enthusiasts”
