Special Message in my EMAIL!



So yay me! And yay you for buying my book! Thanks RUSSELL. I'll be watching you tonight and ignoring the poo-poo naysayers. You're a FINE Robin Hood. FINE.

SERIOUS NOTE: Have you seen my car keys? I have spent the morning tearing through my home and--%#@&%$!!--no keys. This presents a major problem for me today--I must drive to see Robin Hood!

Russell is expecting me.

In honor of my terrific ADD issues Book/Russell Hood Simultaneous Release Day, I'm having a

GUESS WHERE MY KEYS ARE CONTEST!

Just make a guess as to where my goddamn keys are and I'll put you in the drawing. I intend to use the random number generator, but if there's only two of you, I may just flip a coin.

Winner will receive an official RT book bag filled with LB Gregg swag (book marks and the like) + a sack of Lindor Truffles.

Contest Rules: Contest Ends Sunday May 16, 10PM EST. Please make sure you leave your valid email address in the comments. I'll announce the winner on Monday. Open to all!

Have a great weekend!

LB

Did you check the car and the door? When I lose my keys I usually find them still in the ignition or still in the door to the house.

Can't wait to get your new book today! Off to do that now.

Check in your bed or on the counter in your kitchen. I usually find mine there.

Another good place is the bathroom because as you're about to go out the door with your keys in hand, the need to pee overcomes you.

Carolyn Crane said...

Check the other pockets in your purse. Also, I ate some of those truffles.

Happy release day!

You'll have to give Romance Bloglandia your thoughts on the Robin Hood movie. I can't decide if it's going to flop, or not. Part of me thinks it may do well because people my age (as in, anyone older than 30!) are past desperate for a Grown-Up Movie.

No superheroes, no horror slasher flicks, no stupid comedies about stupid, immature "boys."

Christ, I'm desperate over here. After you see it, please tell me it's good.

Nichem--Technically, my Nissan isn't supposed to lock with the keys inside. It's a feature I need. I'm thinking that feature failed.

Thanks for buying my book! Enjoy!

lbgregg said...

Katie(babs) First place I checked (after checking the basket where I keep them and my pockets) was the bathroom counter!

Could the dog have eaten them?

Katiebabs/ KB said...

Did you happen to do some laundry before? Maybe they are on top of one of the machines?

lbgregg said...

CJ~ I knew you pilfered those chocolates!

Danke. And Danke for the photo. RC thanks you as well.

lbgregg said...

Wendy~Does that mean you didn't watch Kick A$$? I loved it--in a 'this has cult movie written all over it' kind of way. I'll let you know about grown up Russell Hood. Rotten Tomatoes has very mixed reviews.

Also-I can't believe we're going to Disney World. I think we need matching mouse ears with our names on them. And a photo.

Cecile said...

Check your fridge **shrugs shoulders** just saying. My sister in law leaves them at my house... all the time... in the fridge. Have no clue why...

I will keep thinking..

Chris said...

Not entering the contest (stoooopid gluteny Lindor truffles), but have you looked in the fridge yet? ;)

Teddy Pig said...

They are in the kitchen next to the coffee.

Oh and I got my copy bright and early this morning.

Tam said...

Have you checked in the garbage can? It's happened. Hope you find them.

Sweet Vernal Zephyr said...

How strange- I just read through all the comments and Cecile and Chris said the same thing I was going to say. My mother always leaves them in the fridge...

How about in your pants pocket from yesterday?

Good luck and have a great weekend!

Did you check the couch cushions? I keep my keys in my pockets so it’s been known to happen.

Jenre said...

Your shoes? It could happen!

Did you change bags in the last couple of days? I always lose stuff when I'm switching between bags.

BTW, congrats on the release. I love your book!

Heh, my veri word is 'rusnens', perhaps that's a condition you get from missing Russell Crowe films due to lack of car keys.

Renee said...

Happy release day! (OK, all of a sudden that sounds vaguely dirty. ahem. sorry.)

I usually find missing keys in the kitchen. Hands full of groceries, keys tangled in fingers, can't let go of them until shopping bags are on counter.

I bought my copy of In and Out this morning. Can't wait to read it!

Hope Robin Hood is a blast!

Big hugs.

lbgregg said...

Chris & Cecil~LOL to looking in the fridge.

::runs to look in fridge::

lbgregg said...

TPig~Danke. And it was the third place I looked. On top of the coffee pot. Next to the Fog Lifter.

:) I HEART YOU TPIG. Thanks for the Naughty Bits love this morning.

Wow. That sounds really dirty.

lbgregg said...

Tam~And the dirty clothes. Ew. G rode his bike yesterday. Just sayin' EW really ew-ily.

Thanks babe.

lbgregg said...

Miranda~Thanks! And you have a great weekend too. i.e. pants are free of keys. But what is with the fridge thing? LOL.

lbgregg said...

Layladawna~Couch. Found some money!

lbgregg said...

Jenre~Thanks so much--and thanks for reviewing so quickly. You are teh awesome. Give me my keys. I know you have them.

lbgregg said...

Renee~Hugs back! Big one. Sometimes they do wind up behind the toaster when I'm unloading groceries. True.

But not today. Boooooo.

Aren't you going to see Russell Hood? No?

Sarah said...

Happy release day!!

And, they're in your coat pocket. I'm sure of it!

Chris said...

What was the first thing you did the last time you came in from driving? That's where the keys are.

Tracy said...

Next to the computer. If that doesn't work check the freezer next to the ice cream. I mean I've never left mine in the freezer next to the ice cream *coughyesihavecough* but maybe you might have. :)

Congrats on your release!!!

Emilie said...

Congratulations on the new book. I usually put my keys in other pockets in my purse, and find them once I've gone through the whole purse three or four times and ended up dumping the whole thing out. Sometimes they wind up in a coat pocket -- Dad's, if he's driven the car, otherwise mine. Good luck!

Patti said...

I'll tell you exactly where they are: The last place you look. Isn't that where they always are?

Congratulations on your release!

Nastassia said...

Congrats in your release1!!!
Have you checked under your bed?

Marg said...

If you were at this poo-poo naysayers house last night, the answer would have been just on the other side of that locked door. I could see them, and they were no more than 50cm away from me, but there was a locked door between us! Uh-oh!

Happy release day!

joder said...

I would take a look between the cushions of the couch.

Happy new release!

Have you checked the bathroom? How about the kitchen cabinet? I lost a container of orange juice and found it in the cabniet with the glasses!

Thanks,

I think they're in your purse, or in a recent shopping bag - you know, the one your searched through quite thoroughly but didn't dump out to examine? Mine are rascally and move about whilst I seach so I ultimately have to dump stuff out so there's no where for them to hide...

Ever considered a beeper for the keys? You know, keep the beep button attached to a door or wall so that can't get lost too?
