Sun

I'm waiting for sunshine. No more cold and ick.

A friend gave me lemons and I'm literally making lemonade.

I went roller skating for the first time in years...and didn't fall :)

We're healthy here.

All I need now is sun.

Books: What are we reading?

B: Wants to read some fantasy book by a new author involving magic, an office worker, and an old setting (1920-1940). B can't remember the name. Sound familiar?

A: Currently reading Deeper by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams, the second in the Tunnels series.

M: Just read Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russell and currently reading My Teacher is an Alien by Bruce Coville, both are series books.

Me: Wants to read Indulgence in Death and Treachery in Death by J.D.Robb, another series.

A and M's books are for ages 9-12.

Sorry for the late post...dang computer games taking up my time ;)

TV: Winter Schedule

Have you felt a little blugeoned in the head by the numerous commercials out there about the winter TV shows? Mostly just Shedding for the Wedding (which sounds like someone's dog obsession turning scary). I'm still watching the American Being Human, because I'm curious, but the rest? Take a look or watch TV - is there something good in the pile?

Miscellaneous: Flea Addendum

Flea horror.

Thanks for sharing B.
NOT!

Well, now you can NOT thank me for sharing ;)

Men: Fire Fighters

We live in a house on a lot with a fire hydrant. One day I noticed that the cap wasn't screwed on quite right. I tried to twist it myself with no success, but we live fairly close to a fire station. So after work one day I stopped by and told them, saying I didn't know who to notify for such an insignificant little thing. The nice firefighters said they'd stop by during one of their drills and fix it :) Nice guys. One was a nice, cute guy. I've kept an eye out since then, waiting to see if any of them are outside working on the truck when I've passed. You know...like...washing the truck...

Don't you think they are a disproportionate number of attractive firefighters out there? Okay maybe not, but certainly muscle laden. Follow this link for a video and pictures. Judge for yourself ;)

Chocolate: Caramel Milky Way

Short and sweet.

Tried it. It was okay. The caramel was sweet. I'd be interested in tasting it with dark chocolate though. I know that still sounds wrong; it was hard to type. The caramel makes me think of the chocolates in boxes and it would be nice with that same quality dark.

Here's a review from The Candy Blog. Hmm, it sounds familiar ;)

PS Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. I know you expected some holiday themed chocolate to be featured today, but I just received said chocolate as my V-day gift moments ago. Posting on the greatness will be featured in the next two chocolate posts :)

Books: The Perfect Murder

1. So so plot. Man, whose ex-wife and son are murdered, believes the deed was done by the new husband. The husband is dead, but he believes the husband is alive and getting away with murder (har har). In the meantime, a woman who works for this organization (part of the series) has a case which involves the not really dead husband. Parts of the story were hard to swallow. I like twists and turns, but this turned me off.

2. This, The Perfect Murder by Brenda Novak, should not have been my first read by this author. The series which implies that there are a lot of fans of the books and there are quite a few giving reviews at Amazon.

3. To sum up, I will eventually read another book just to determine if the series is really any good, but if it doesn't measure up - I won't be reading Novak again.
