Hap\u00adpy Labor Day! Thanks to Booknibbles.com for the won\u00adder\u00adful tour! If you\u2019re just com\u00ading across this post, you can catch the begin\u00adning HERE<\/span><\/a>. I hope each of you indulges in a char-broiled burg\u00ader to say good\u00adbye to sum\u00admer. I don\u2019t know about the rest of you, but I\u2019m very *very* sad to see sum\u00admer go.\u00c2  [pout] Now, on to the fun part. In the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of my week\u00adly Hump Day Hot\u00adties, I\u2019m adding a scene to the guy. I can\u2019t help it. When I see a pic\u00adture like this, my brain comes up with all kinds of sce\u00adnar\u00adios. Here\u2019s one:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So it was Labor Day week\u00adend, and I real\u00adly was\u00adn\u2019t look\u00ading for\u00adward to a\u00c2 six\u00adteen hour dri\u00adve to the coast, but\u00c2 Brad promised that he\u2019d do most of the dri\u00adving. He also promised we\u2019d stop at my favorite restau\u00adrant for lunch. And din\u00adner. By mid\u00adnight, I could\u00adn\u2019t stay awake, and I curled up in the pas\u00adsen\u00adger seat and fell asleep with our favorite band in the CD<\/span> play\u00ader, and watch\u00ading\u00c2 Brad nod his head and tap the beat on the steer\u00ading wheel. <\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how long I was out, but when I woke up, we were on the side of the road.\u00c2 Brad was fast asleep in the dri\u00adver\u2019s seat. I stared. I could\u00adn\u2019t help it.\u00c2  He\u2019d tak\u00aden off his shirt, and he looked so damn beau\u00adti\u00adful in the dim light of the rest stop lights. When look\u00ading was\u00adn\u2019t enough any\u00admore, I reached over and as care\u00adful\u00adly as I could, released the buck\u00adle of his belt. When he did\u00adn\u2019t stir, I start\u00aded on his but\u00adton fly. I leaned back to enjoy the view, and only then noticed that\u00c2 Brad was\u00adn\u2019t sleep\u00ading anymore.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, on to the next blog. I hope you make it to the end, where I\u2019ll be giv\u00ading away a copy of the win\u00adner\u2019s choice of my back\u00adlist (you can find them<\/span> here<\/a><\/span>). Also, I hope to see a lot of you blog hop\u00adpers at Gem Sivad\u2019s Chat Room dur\u00ading one of the times list\u00aded at the end. We always have a l<\/span>ot of fun. See you there!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
