Well, the hair is washed and drying, the war paint slapped on and I’ve put on my new top and slacks. Most of my stuff is packed. I’ve got the camera (got to snap Benny blowing out the candles on his birthday cake) several reference books for my novel, two Kindles, DVDs to share with my sisters and of course, I’ll be taking my laptop.
The back is still somewhat unhappy with me, but I am going to take a Lor-Tab and a muscle relaxer before we hit the road–and carry my favorite pillow, which is my grown-up version of a security blanket. 😉
Here’s some more goodies to enjoy . . . ah, the glories of his ChaRActers!
the armitage effect 
Glad you’re all set and on your way. What treats you’ve left us, though we should be the ones giving bon voyage gifts!
Oh Heaven! the daily vision of Mr. Armitage’s body stimulates the production of endorphins. he gives me euphoria and happiness and decreases pain levels 🙂 there is no contraindication…
Thank you, so much and good travel 🙂
Mr. Armitage has amazing benefits for one’s body, mind and heart, I think.
Happy and safe travels for both of you Angie, and the very best of good wished to Benny on his birthday! Would you mind giving him a hug for me?
Thanks for our daily swoon sessions! I doubt if we’d survive without them. Having the usual reactions to the above. 😉 Wow!!
Oops! “wishes”!!
I gave him that hub for you, Teuchter, and a few extra. 😉
Happy Birthday to dear Benny!!! 🙂 Hope your back is better and you’re having lots of fun! Wonderful sexy pictures! You’re soooo good!!!
I do seem to be getting better at all this. 😉
Swoonworthy pics as usual! Have a great trip, Angie, and birthday wishes to Benny.
I wonder what hubby would say if one of these turned up at home! I soooo want one!!
Ooops, sorry Angie, didn’t realise the actual picture would come up when I pasted the link in!
Don’t apologize – I will take Thorin any way and any place I can get him. 😉 Boy would I LOVE to have one of these. I’d park it in my bedroom so he’d be the first thing I saw in the morning and the last thing at night. One hot Dwarf. All of the beauty and none of the smell. Gotta love it.
IIRC there was a funny discussion over at me + richard armitage some time ago about life-size cardboard cutouts of the chaRActers. Some of us couldn’t choose just one, so we opted to have a different one for each day of the week: Lucas for Monday, Porter for Tuesday, Guy for Friday. Someone actually did have one, but I can’t remember which character it was.
With this Thorin being about my height, I could literally stare directly into his eyes *thud*
And positioned where someone outside could just see him standing there, he’d make a dandy burglar repellent.
Oh Leigh! That is priceless!!!!! 😀
I really like the idea he’s my height, although “Richard height” would be pretty swoon-inducing too. Trouble is, I might never want to leave the house once he moved in! He’s already quite addictive enough in pictures!!!! 😉 Of course there is plenty of room for him on the other half of my bed! *giggles at the thought*
I am finding the cardboard cutout awfully tempting. . . but where would I put it? LOL I did bring Little Thorin with me . . . I may take him down to the beach at some point and shoot some photos. 😉
😀 😀 😀
He manages to still look very regal and fierce even at his truncated height. And HOT. *sigh*
No problem, kiddo.
Have a safe trip ,Angie! “Szerokiej drogi!”
Happy Birthday Benny! 🙂
Thanks, Joanna. 😀
I am a little late but happy birthday to Mr Fedoralady and thank you for the gorgeous pics of our Greek God !
Many thanks, Nadia and glad you enjloyed the artwork. 😉
