Thoughts from bestselling, award-winning romance author Heidi Betts (and her alter-ego, Mistress Heidi) on her Works-in-Progress and the many links in the chain that keeps her shackled to her desk until each new project is polished and complete.

my kind of coffee klatch

Have I mentioned lately that I’m easily amused?

Or that I have a bit of a wicked streak running through me?

What about the fact that if you put the two together, I’m very easily amused by even the most wicked of diversions.

Keeping that in mind, I give you something that tickles me more every time I see it:

  1. LOL!! Is this show for real or is it a spoof commercial? I’d watch an episode or two for sure!

    And, oh…was I fast enough? Did I actually get the Golden Halo????

  2. YESSSS!!!!

    (I am also easily amused!)

  3. Dee says:

    Ah yes, the pearls and sweater set murdering trio…love it!

  4. barb says:

    Where do you find em Heidi??? too funny..

    reminds me of the Dixie Chicks song goodby Earl…. that vidio was great….

  5. Heidi says:

    Whoo-hoo, Marilyn, good job on snagging the Golden Halo this morning!

    Deadly Women is, indeed, a real TV show…on TruTV, I think. It’s a true crime drama about women who kill, but the first time I saw that commercial, I just about howled, I was so amused.

  6. Pamela Cayne says:

    So, Marilyn–what are you going to use the Golden Halo for? I’d think good, but given today’s post, some evil might be called for.

    Love the clip, Heidi! And I think because you love it is why I love you so much–twisted minds and all.

    What can I say? Don’t cross us crazy womenz.

    Mistress Heidi, I think it’s an inspired quote for a tramp stamp. If anyone asks I’ll give all credit where credit is due, to the author of the quote of course, and say it’s a tribute to my love of literature and my dear, sweet husband.

  9. Hollie says:

    oh my gosh…just this past week a friend on facebook just told me she had made her hub a berry pie..i asked if she had gotten enough arsenic in it..she said he was now worried about her cooking! LOLOL or should i say..mwhahahahahahaha

  10. Heidi says:

    See, y’all’s luv of this commercial is why you fit in so well here. No one had an, “Ohmigosh, that’s just terrible!” reaction. Oh, no. You all thought, “Ha! That’s right. Watch your Ps & Qs around me, buddy, or you’ll be singing soprano!”

    Speaking of which, yesterday’s Dr. Phil was about revenge. He had a female doc on who studies revenge & blogs for Psychology Today, I guess. They were discussing both Clara Harris (woman who ran her hubby over twice after catching him at a hotel w/ his mistress) & that group of women who lured a cheater to a motel & super glued his you-know-what.

    Well, Dr. Phil was acting all offended on the guys’ behalfs, but this female doc, she laughs & says that after what Clara Harris’s husband did & said to her (lose weight, change your hair, get a boob job & *maybe* I’ll stop sleeping with other woman), he was lucky she only ran over him twice…if he’d said that to most women, they’d have been selling tickets to drive over him again! And for the super glue incident, she rolled her eyes & said, “Oh, come on! It was only super glue!” IOW, what these women did wasn’t *right*…but the guys had it comin’.

    *snicker* *snicker* *snicker*

  11. Heidi says:

    P.S. Hollie~ Watched another ep of Castle this morning, so the next one up is the vamp one. Planning to watch it Sat. morning, which is also Halloween! Woot!

  12. Maisey Yates says:

    I thought the super glue incident was hilarious. Don’t misuse the goods if you don’t want the women to go after them, that’s all I can say. And after a line like that? I’da run the guy over and glue his whats-it to the bumper and driven off.

    Thank God I married a sweet, kind man who would never cheat. It’s saving me from prison time.

    Mona: I loved Al Lipshitz more than I could possibly say. He was a real artistic guy, sensitive, a painter. But he was always trying to find himself. He’d go out every night looking for himself. And on the way, he found Ruth. Gladys. Rosemary. And Irving. I guess you could say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive. And I saw him dead.

  14. Laura J. says:

    If Dr. Phil is defending these guys so much makes me kinda wonder what kind of crap he’s done or his wife puts up with.

  15. Laura J. says:

    Oh and can you guess the movie Mona’s quote/line came from?

  16. Maisey Yates says:

    Oooh! Oohh! Picke me!!! Chicago. :-)

    “You know some guys just can’t hold their arsenic.”

  17. Hollie says:

    Heidi…you dont have to watch the whole episode..although it was MOST excellent..but the 1st 10/15 minutes are soooo gonna getcha!!!Im still smiling about it!!!

  18. Laura J. says:

    That song is my favorite from the movie. When I watched this clip, I was waiting for them to break out in song — He Had It Comin’

  19. Heidi says:

    I have seen Chicago…&, yep, luv the song & the vengeance plot behind it all…but I do not remember the details like you guys do. Personally, I like Double Jeopardy, where the gal’s in prison for murdering her husband, then finds out he isn’t really dead. And one of her fellow inmates says, “Honey, don’t do anything stupid. You do your time, then when you get out, you track the bastard down & kill him. They can’t try you twice for the same crime.” What can I say? That movie speaks to me. Of course, what it says is, “Kill. Kill. Kill.” Bwahahahahaha

    Dr. Phil wasn’t so much defending them, btw, as saying the women’s actions were premeditated & wrong. (And he’s a guy, so I’m sure he was having a knee-jerk guy “ouch” reaction. ) But the female doc wasn’t nearly as sympathetic & basically said that if guys are going to act like jerks, then they need to be prepared for women to go gonzo on them. Duh. Did we learn nothing from Lorena Bobbitt? *snicker* In comparison, IT WAS ONLY SUPER GLUE, you big babies, & could have been much worse.

    Hollie~ Oh, I am of course going to watch the whole episode, I just haven’t gotten to it yet. And I’m keeping my fingers in my ears, singing la la la la la so no one spoils it for me.

    I have to share this, I asked my dear mulberry (Jane) to come share, but she didn’t, so I’m just copying and pasting her email to me, because you’ll all just love the story…

    “when I was at college, my flatmate went to Sydney every weekend allegedly to work as a waitress, and came back with loads of cash, which she claimed was tips. Later I found out she was working in a “specialist” capacity as a dominatrix- no sex, no contact at all, just firm correction. She went freelance, and had men paying her $200 an hour to be permitted to scrub her floor with their toothbrush, and do all her washing by hand, while she lounged around around in a leather basque and knee boots. Now it’s a long time since I was in college! With inflation, I wonder what the going rate would be now?”

  21. Pamela Cayne says:

    Holy crap–I just saw I have a ITryWriMo meter over there.

    Crap, that means I’m actually going to have to do it!!!

  22. Hollie says:

    Heidi..i wont spoil the secret for you!! but like i said..i will hear your shriek all the way over here in IN!!
    Pam..did YOU see it yet?? hmmmm…if you did….Dont tell Heidi!!LOL

  23. Dee says:

    I love Double Jeopardy too! Great movie. Well, the saying is true…hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. [Especially if she's PMSing].

  24. Jane says:

    This is a great show.

  25. Dee says:

    I can think of a few instances where a woman should have slipped a little something in her hubby’s drink.

  26. Laura J. says:

    Wow!! I can have a guy pay ME to boss him around and have my house cleaned and laundry done at the same time?!?!

    SWEEEEEEEETTT!!

    Where do I sign up for this job!

  27. Pamela Cayne says:

    Nope, haven’t seen it yet–savoring the anticipation. I’ll be sure and squeal when I do!

  28. Dee says:

    Castle..yum.

    Won’t give anything away but I love that show!

  29. Maisey Yates says:

    I was wondering the same thing, Laura.

  30. Heidi says:

    Maisey~ I’m not the least bit surprised. If only we could all find such fun, lucrative gigs.

    Pam~ Yes, indeedy, you’ve got a progress meter, so you’d better get crackin’, girl!

    Jane~ Do you watch Deadly Women? I do occasionally, but don’t like the re-enacted/narrated true crime shows as much as the news-ish ones. It’s still good, tho, I agree!

    Love Castle, too, but…am I the only one getting moderately annoyed at them hawking a real book via the show…& Twitter!…as tho it’s really written by Nathan Fillion’s character? I just hate that sort of thing & it’s starting to take away from the show for me.

  31. Dee says:

    I’m not on Twitter so I didn’t see the hawking, but I may just buy the book out of curiosity.

  32. Jane says:

    I do watch Deadly Women. Have you seen Wicked Attraction?

  33. Hollie says:

    I have the book on my christmas list! so i dont have to spend my money on it…
    They also have comic books of Firefly…a forward by Nathan too!! also on my list!!
