How things stand almost two months later

OK, so as of Sunday, I'm guessing it's been a month and a half (remember:  I'm guessing!) since I ended my formal relationship with J.  It's so strange:  I feel more comfortable around him now than I did before.  Does that make sense in any way?

Anyway.

I just finished JR Ward's "Lover Mine".  It's the eith book in her Black Dagger Brotherhood series and all I can say is OMFG!!  The characters are so in your face you have to laugh at them, while the sex scenes, depending on the characters "acting" them out, swing from pure vanilla to the sadistically raunchy - and no matter which you find yourself reading at the time, you'll be captivated!  Naturally, however, we now need to get book 9 ("Lover Unleashed") and when it's finally published next year, "Lover Reborn".  Here's a rundown of the books and the main romance in each one:

1. "Dark Lover":  Wrath, son of Wrath, and King of the Vampires, and Beth, half-vampire daughter of Darius and;
2. "Lover Eternal":  Rhage, cursed with a second form, and Mary, a human counsellor;
3. "Lover Awakened":  Zsadist, a former blood slave, and Bella, a vampire taken and tortured by the lessers in the previous novel;
4. "Lover Revealed":  Butch, former homicide detective, and the vampire Marissa, the "great beauty of the race";
5. "Lover Unbound":  Vishous, most brilliant of the Brothers, and Doc Jane, a trauma surgeon;
6. "Lover Enshrined":  Phury, sire to the next generation of Black Dagger Brothers, and Cormia, a Chosen for the Scribe Virgin who desires individuality;
7. "Lover Avenged":  Rehvenge, half-sympath druglord, and Ehlena, a nurse at the vampire clinic;
8. "Lover Mine":  John Matthew (a.k.a. Tehrror), the mute and previously unknown brother to Beth, the vampire queen, and Xhex, Rehv's half-sympath head of security until the previous novel;
9. "Lover Unleashed":  OK, I haven't read it yet, but apparently the story of Payne, the twin Vishous knew and only bred female warrior of the vampire race, and Dr. Manuel "Manny" Menallo, an ex-colleague of Doc Jane's;  and finally
10. "Lover Reborn":  (publishing date:  March 2012)  The story of Tohrment and his second chance at love.

All in all, I can't frikking WAIT to read 9 and 10!

I'll have to say quite honestly that I haven't been very cartomantically inclined recently.  Where before I would have the drive to read the cards whenever the urge hit, I haven't felt that need in a while.  I hope and pray this "dry spell" gets rained on VERY quickly.

In that vein:  here are three cards for the past month.  See if they make any sense to you.  (As an added exercise, I'm not going to give the interpretations beyond a keyword / keyphrase; I want you to tell me what you saw in the cards!)

1. Ace of Pentacles:  positive twist to finances;
2. Two of Pentacles:  it isn't as bad as it seems;  and
3. Seven of Cups:  stop daydreaming.
4. Suprise Card:  Key II, the High Priestess:  follow your gut and expect a suprise.

Tell me if any of these cards (not necessarily with my keywords) make any sense for you in regards to the last month.  My e-mail addy:  dieter.kok@gmail.com

Big hugs,, guys and gals!
