This is the third book in the Sign of Seven trilogy & it was good. The ending wasn't near as dramatic and I had assumed it would be but that's probably because there's some action going on throughout the book. I really wish she'd write one another seven years later just to see how the town is doing! Go forth and read it. Love it! Share it!
Ciao.
P.S. I hope everyone has a fun & safe New Year's Eve. Good bye 2008, Hello 2009!
At work we're having a reading challenge and I need some help. We're
reading as many Young Adult & Juvenile fiction books as we can by
March 1st. I've decided to read the following:
- The Charlie Bone Series
- Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series
- The Chronicle's of Narnia books
- The adoration of Jenna Fox
- Re-read the Twilight Series
- Hunger Games again.
Thank you and ciao!
It seems like everyday time just gets away from me. I get wrapped into doing one thing or another and *poof* all day is gone. I'm still attempting to finish my book The Pagan Stone which it seems like it's near impossible to get to.
I woke up this morning & realized my water filter on my aquarium along with my heating tube weren't working. I didn't want to lose my other fish too so I went to work on it. After taking the pump out of the filter and cleaning it somehow I managed to fix it. I think the pump had slid out of place and it just shut off. (We'll see). I'd unplugged the heat tube & realized all that had happened was that it had twisted to the left & I just couldn't see the orange on light. Which was nice.
Today was around 60* which was amazing & scary at the same time. I can't ever remember having 60* weather in late December. We'll prolly pay for it later.
I have to work tomorrow & then Wednesday we get to go get New Year Eve's goodies. What's your plans for NYE?
Ciao!
Oh today was madness I tell ya madness!! First I decided to make some of the jewelry that I bought supplies for the other day. I saw a cute set of angel wings & I decided to make a necklace for Tanya (my sister). Here's the finished project.
Then Amanda came over to see if I wanted to run to Target & the dollar store with her and Cadin. So off we went. Target was insane. We hit the clearance Christmas aisle that was packed. I saw a pair of Christmas socks that I wanted & when we went to check out I decided I didn't need them all that badly. The lines were ridiculously long so we left. After almost getting ran over by some moron in the parking lot we went to the dollar store. I was hunting for a pair of round nosed pliers but I couldn't find any. We then headed home. Cadin was so cute. I shared my junior mints with him & he kept asking for another. Plus he kept babbling the entire way which I just find adorable.
Once we got home I decided to fix Ghost's chain. He broke something right before I left with Amanda and I decided I'd better fix it so he could get to his dog house tonight. Well. UGH. It was extremely muddy which I didn't mind because it meant I could actually dig up around his post to fix his chain. However that meant handling him was going to be hard once I got everything fixed. Which is was. As we were walking down the drive to chain him back up he tripped me up and I fell. Well I decided I wasn't letting him go because he's to hard to catch once he's off and running. So when I landed he decided to jump on me and almost nipped me in the face. Rawr. I was mad and very muddy. I came inside and cleaned up & surveyed the damage. My left ankle was hurting when I got up & so when I fell I hurt my left knee and my other ankle. Tomorrow morning should be interesting.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Ciao!
P.S. Plus Goldie (my bubble eyed gold fish) died. I'd had her 5 years. She went through college with me. She'll be missed.
Now, at opposite ends of the country, waiting for their divorce to be finalized, they begin to exchange letters by post, missives filled with longing and truths they’ve never before voiced, as they recall their marriage—its magic moments and its challenges—and begin to rediscover the reasons they fell in love in the first place.
As Sam risks his life to reach the remote crash site, Hadley begins an equally hazardous inner journey to a rendezvous with the mad grief of a mother’s heart. At the place where all else is lost, they will meet again….
I wasn't sure I'd like this book. I've read one other book in a letter format & I just wasn't sure if enough of the plot would come through via the letters. I was wrong. Luanne Rice has been a favorite author of mine for a long time and she didn't fail to deliver this time either.
Sam & Hadley's journey from across the globe is not only inspiring but will bring you to tears. They've lost their son & in dealing with his death have lost themselves. Sam needs to visit the site of Paul's death & Hadley runs as far from it as she can get. Both of their journey's eventually bring them together in a way you never see coming. I loved the letter format of the book. It just seemed more personal. It almost seemed like you were taking a peek into someone's mail illegally. I loved this book!
Ciao!

I have no clue what's wrong with me today. I've been extremely moody, short tempered & I don't want to do anything. I don't have the energy to read, write, watch tv, scrapbook, nothing. I just want to sleep. The littlest things have been getting on my nerves I don't know if it's winter depression or what. I'm assuming that it's a combo of everything. Stress is killer especially at this time of the year. I just want to be happy and celebrate Christmas. It may have something to do with my brother being gone and my sister moved out a few months ago. Normally they're around being goofy too. Anyways, lets check out some happy Christmas photos from flickr!!
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
Let the light of late afternoon
shine through chinks in the barn, moving
up the bales as the sun moves down.
Let the cricket take up chafing
as a woman takes up her needles
and her yarn. Let evening come.
Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned
in long grass. Let the stars appear
and the moon disclose her silver horn.
Let the fox go back to its sandy den.
Let the wind die down. Let the shed
go black inside. Let evening come.
To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop
in the oats, to air in the lung
let evening come.
Let it come, as it will, and don't
be afraid. God does not leave us
comfortless, so let evening come.-- Jane Kenyon

What's some of your favorites?
Had the co-worker let her burn to death they would have been sued & since they pulled her from the car and she's paralyzed they're being sued. What a mess. I'm one of those people who would act to help someone instead of standing off to the side assuming someone else would do something. After seeing this I'll definitely be thinking twice before I help anyone for fear of being sued.
The portraits of the President and the First lady have been done & I'm not a art critic but Laura's is horrible. Her head looks like it belongs on another painting & it seems to small to me. The President's portrait looks amazing though. His hands are phenomenal. The other thing I noticed that there's a entire paragraph of people who made donations for his portrait and a husband/wife who made donations for hers. Now maybe the family could afford to pay for hers but I figure they skimped on hers. ;)
In other news my tooth feels better. I've not taken a pain pill for a day but eating is still a chore. I'm still eating soup and hating every bit of it.
Btw beethoven got a twitter account you should follow him ;)
Ciao!!
