Ever Feel A Bit Cougarish?

Watching all these movies and television shows like Twilight and The Vampire Diaries filled with pretty "teenage" or eternal teenage boys had me feeling a bit like a cougar.

But my husband and son both pointed out that I am not old enough to be a cougar since I am not over 40 yet.

Hmmm, okay that makes me what? Just a perv? :-)

Thankfully most of those young boys aren't so young after all. Scrolling through my Directv DVR buttons I found that some shows offer cast and crew info. This delightful tidbit of info gives their birth dates and places. Great info for true fans and useless bits of trivia for anyone else.

This handy little button has alerted me that there are quite a few actors from Michigan, other famous people too like Jerry Bruckheimer (who I share a birthday with, I also share a birthday with Stephen King-wish I was as rich and successful as either of them).

I find it interesting.

Anyway what I've also found is that many of my fave shows have actors that are right around or are my age. Hmmm. I suppose that's good, or it could be a way to say "Hey look at how successful these people are and they are the same age as you. Way to go LOSER." Or it could just be more useless bits of trivia I may use to win radio contests or trivial pursuit.

Sorry got off track there- back to the whole cougar thing or not cougar thing.

These handy little tidbits of info have also made me feel much better about the man candy I like to look at.


My number one crush is Tom Welling. Currently we are exactly the same age (33, he just turned 33 I'll be 34 later this year but right now we are the same age :-).



I stressed back in the day when he played a teenager on Smallville (he was actually in his late twenties when he started playing the teenage Clark Kent) so I googled it and learned he was only a year younger than me. Tom is my idea of male beauty personified- dark hair, blue eyes, that sexy chiseled face and he's a big guy- like 6'6'' or something and he's muscular and just...big. I like 'em big. :-) Anyway he gets a 10 in my book.


My other crush is Ian Somerhalder who plays Damon on The Vampire Diaries. I tried to hate him because he has that look that just screams "I'm a jerk" and he played it so well too. The first couple episodes I hated him, then hated him less, and less and now...I just flat out drool. Those eyes are what did me in- those beautiful, stunning blue eyes. The perfect bone structure had a play in it too. Granted he's a little short and thin for normal taste but damn he's just too pretty to resist. So he's a 9 after Tom's 10.


I was sure though that Ian was only maybe in his mid twenties- tops. Which is still pretty young for me but at least legal :-) I found out he was born in 1978 so he's only 2 years younger than me.


Oh thank goodness, I thought to myself. If they are over thirty-it's all good. I try not to drool too much on anyone younger cause that's just kinda gross.

Which leads me to the one that really makes me feel cougarlicious- Taylor Lautner.


I have to admit that yes I think Taylor Lautner in New Moon is freakin hot- though that's where it ends. Pure aesthetics. No drooling or thinking about touching- he's just way too young.

I'll stick to fantasizing about Tom and Ian-go figure all of my crushes play supernatural characters.

So who makes you feel like a Cougar (even if you're not old enough to be one)?

Who is your number one man candy crush?

Monday Musings September 28

Another Monday is upon us. Yay. I say that in the most sarcastic of tones.

It's a cold, stormy day here in Michigan and I think the weather is playing with my mood. Plus there's not enough caffeine in my body yet and I didn't sleep good last night or the previous three nights. I go through these phases where I don't sleep well and I guess I am in one now. I hope it passes soon because my nerves are about shot.

Anyway I am not thinking too clearly so my random Monday Musings are truly a bunch of ramblings today. I don't really have a whole lot of news or interesting tidbits to share today.

My weekend was OK, caught up on all the new episodes of shows that started last week-House, CSI, Grey's, Smallville, and all those. I can't say I am overly thrilled with any. Grey's was good. Smallville, while I love drooling over Tom Welling, didn't thrill me at all. I am not liking where they've been taking Smallville, I just continue watching to drool over Tom (my dream man made flesh, he's just sooo beautiful)

And I'm still undecided on Vampire Diaries. I watch because it's vampires but I am not "into" it, you know. After the first episode Being Human hooked me, Vampire Diaries not so much. I find it all a little too cliched. We'll see where it goes.

I am reading a fab book, Larceny and Lace by Annette Blair. I really love Annette Blair's books, so witty and fun. Quick reads you do not want to put down. I had to pry it out of my own hands last night to go to bed. The way I tossed and turned I would have been better off finishing the book instead of trying to sleep. Oh well.

This week at Fang-tastic Books Kiki Howell will be guest blogging on Thursday and on Friday-another awesome giveaway for Free Book Friday where I might just be giving away more than one book to kick off a spooktacular October.

Hopefully my usual glee over October will soon be upon me because I am an Autumn child and I love October and have loads planned for a scare-tastic month.

Right now though...just not feeling it. :-(

Off to refill my giant coffee mug. Maybe I really need this Blood Energy Potion.
