I may not look like one to the world, but I feel like one and that makes me look like one in my mind's eye. Body image issues, I guess... <br /><br />I just finished Wifey and I liked it for the sheer novelty of it, imaging what a stir it caused in 1978!

I read the first book before seeing the first season on STARZ. But, I didn't read Dragonfly in Amber before the second season came out. I've now watched the entire second season and I'm wondering how different the book and the show are. Do I need to invest 40 hours of audiobook listening on Dragonfly in Amber before moving on the third book or can I just proceed to book 3 going on what took place in the show? I don't know...Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-55316892634657234532016-07-12T11:27:07.482-04:002016-07-12T11:27:07.482-04:00I wish I knew how many thousands of people were on...I wish I knew how many thousands of people were on TM that day trying to score tickets.

We shall see how this goes. :) I have almost acquired a third and final outfit for Vegas. If I didn't sweat like mad at the drop of a hat, I wouldn't worry and I'd simply recycle. Recycling outfits on this trip, I'm afraid, will not be an option.

Never would I have imagined that that many dates would completely sell out on the first day! I've been buying tickets on TM for years and I've never encountered such long search and wait times. It was unbelievable...truly like a virtual feeding frenzy.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-56668702376655368882016-07-12T11:20:01.823-04:002016-07-12T11:20:01.823-04:00Thank you!

I think I own a total of 3 dresses, and I rarely wear them. I used Rent the Runway to get a dress for my husband's birthday dinner just so I wouldn't have to shop for one. Haha. (And if you're curious about it, this was my second time using them, and both times my experience was awesome!)<br /><br />I also hate Ticketmaster. I never feel like I'm getting the "best" seats, but I also don't have the patience to search a bunch of times. (I'm also always paranoid the show will sell out if I don't just go ahead and buy within the first few tries.) I'm glad you were able to get tickets! :-)<br /><br />P.S. The flower is gorgeous!
