Thanks so much to all of you who commented on my Ten Sucky Things post.  Rejection doesn’t get easier, especially when you come so close, no matter how long you’re at this.  I usually deal with it in several phases. 

Phase 1: Flatness “I knew this would happen.”

Phase 2: Realization “NOOOooooooo!  Why God, WHY!?”

Phase 3: Tears

Phase 4:  Comfortable numbness.  “Put yourself together woman! You’ve got responsibilities!  There’s no crying in baseball!”

Phase5:  “But NooooooOOOOOO!”

Phase6:  Frantic Binge Querying.  “SOMEONE must be out there for me.  I have to find them!!!!”

Phase 7:  New Requests come in.  “Hmmmn.  Maybe THIS will be the one!”

Rejection

Repeat

What are your phases of grief when it comes to rejection?  

Have a great Monday people!

Guess That Freaky-French Commercial CONTEST!

I’m bored.  So I decided to hold a flash contest today on whim.  For those of you who keep up with my Friday ‘living in France’ posts, you might remember me talking about how sex sells just about everything in Europe.  Even random items like milk and coffee.

Well, they’ve gone and done it again.   The commercial below aired a few days ago and I thought it might be fun to use it in a contest.  Basically:

Try and guess what the hell they’re selling in this commercial, post it in the comments below and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a free book!

If you have no idea-  you’ve joined about 90% of the French population who watched the commercial and scratched their heads until the well known label popped up at the very end.  My husband and I even looked at each other like ‘what the hell?’  the first time we saw it and we’re used to this sort of thing…

For those that can't view it because they're at work, basically the commercial features an entire city making out.  Yup.  That just about sums it up.  Good luck!

I invite everyone to give it their best shot!  I might even post up the most hilarious guesses with the winners so give it your all peeps!

The book that’s up for grabs:  Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers

back cover blurb:  Frannie Cavanaugh has always been a bit of a loner.  She's spent years keeping everyone at a distance, even her closest friends.  That is, until Luc Cain enrolls in her school.  He's hot, sarcastic, and dangerous- and Frannie can't seem to stay away.

What she doesn't know is that Luc is on a mission.  Because Frannie isn't exactly ordinary.  She possesses a skil so unique that the King of Hell himself has taken notice, and he's sent Luc to claim Frannie's soul.  It should be easy:  All he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come.

Unfortunately for Luc, Heaven has other plans, and he's started making progress when the angel Gabriel shows up.  Gabe with do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for, and his angelic charm might just be enough to keep Frannie on the right path.

It isn't long before Luc and Gabe find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie's soul.  But if Luc fails to win her over, there will be Hell to pay...for all of them.
