My First Richard Armitage Thrill in Weeks!!

Yes, so as you know, we’re super busy and I’m getting down to the line, leaving for Vacation in just about 48 hours… my PreoccupationWithArmitage has been comparatively non-existent. So much so that I’d actually forgotten, until Perry pointed it out, that there was the annual Richard Armitage Christmas message to be anticipated, and although I now remember seeing a tweet from Richard himself that he was narrating a short piece for Audible, I’d apparently forgotten about that, too.

This morning, I’d slept in a bit, and when I woke up, reached for my phone. There was a Twitter notification from @RCArmitage and, because my PreoccupationWithArmitage is down but not defeated entirely, it was the first thing I opened on the phone. A link to a free holiday promotion for members… 3 hours and 42 minutes, a Charles Dickens Christmas short story, The Chimes. And narrated by none other than the most talented narrator with the most deeply sexy voice that I have ever known!

I tell you, it was as if I’d received an early Christmas gift, and one I’d always wanted, and because I stumbled upon it from His tweet first, it actually felt like a gift from him to me!!!!

Re-energized me and gave me quite the Armitage Boost, which I’ve needed but not known I’d needed! I’m so happy to have discovered it this way- glad RA or his team was on the ball with that tweet. Now that I’m up and about, I see that there are a myriad of ways I could have found out about it, including blog mentions, forums, and even an e-mail from Audible with a link to open my “Free Holiday Gift For Our Members”.

It just felt special to find out about it from Richard, himself.

It’s downloading as we speak! I know what I’ll be listening to as I pack those suitcases today!!
