All 3 books were really good. I am hoping to get more reading done this month- I just have to tell myself step away from the knitting-lol.

Finsihed Book # 3 for March

HI Hi
I finished reading Nineteen Minutes By Jodi Picoult on 3-27-08. It was a really good and it had a twist at the end I was not excepting but it was an ending that gave insight to Josie and Peter.

Well yesterday was not a great day, we had to take Shelbie to the ER because at school she a little boy banged heads really hard. SHE got sick and could not stay awake. Shelbie has a concussion. She is doing a little better today, she said that she just has a really really headache and she just wants to play with her big sister. We are making just sit or lay down.

Lizzie is doing good, she got to go to work with her Aunt Ton Ton yesterday while we at the ER with Shelbie. Lizzie likes to go to work with her aunt because Tonya has a TV in her office and Tonya lets her eat candy and have a soda and she really likes spending time with her aunt. This week Lizzie won a gift card to Barnes and Noble for winning A Read Thon at her school. She ordered 5 books(4 Nancy Drew and the new Magic Tree House).

This coming Friday both girls are off from school for parent teacher conferences. Plus this Wednesday Shelbie has her spring pictures and class picture, she is excited about this even though is has a little red spot on her forehead.

I am still working on both blankets and they sure are coming along. I can't wait to finish one and see the finished product-lol. I am not sure what book I am going to read next will have to look at my list.

I guess I am going to run for now, have a great weekend and as always happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Monday

Howdy
Well it is Monday and both girls went back to school today. It was to quite here with out them at home.Since Lizzie was at school I worked on her blanket a little, I am really enjoying knitting and it has helped me cut down on my smoking!!.

I don't think I am going to get many books read this month. I am hoping to get Nineteen Minutes done by the end of this month. I have just been knitting a lot and not reading as much,I feel kind of guilt for not reading a lot like I have been. But I am still working on my goal of 125 books read this year, so we shall see.

I will go for now so I can cook dinner and then work on some more laundry.

Happy Early Easter

Good morning,

I have been doing a lot of knitting the past couple of days. At the right is a picture of the blanket I am working on. I know I have a long way to go but I think I am off to a good start-lol. This one is for Shelbie. I started another one for Lizzie but it is going to be 1 of her birthday presents in August. I have done a little reading, I am still reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult and I am still enjoying it.

Well we did our Easter a day early beacause Todd has to work tomorrow from 8 in the morning until 8 tomorrow night. The girls had fun finding their Easter stuff.Lizzie got the movie the Sound of Music and Shelbie got a Bratz toy, plus they got some cndy. Tonight I am going to hind the the baskets my mom sent from Texas.Plus Todd's parents sent a card with something it for both girls in it. And I do believe that the girls aunt TonTon and uncle Kelly are doing a little basket for the girls. The girls really make out on Easter( I usually sample some of their candy-lol).

I am going to run for now,laundry is calling. Have a great day and Happpy Easter.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts so far on Nineteen Minutes

Happy Sunday
I am about half way through Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I love the way she writes her books and takes things that have happen in real life and writes a great story. This book at times is a little hard for me to read because my 9 year old daughter has been picked on all this year, plus been picked on in past years. But see unlike Peter who really does not tell his parents, Elizabeth tells us about what is happening to her. Trust me my husband and I are up at the school in a heart beat. I can't wait to see what kind of twist is in store for me at the end of the book. I have read serval other books by Jodi Picoult and there is always a twist at the end that just blows me away.

Well the girls are on spring break starting tomorrow. So I get to sleep in a little(I hope-lol). Yesterday I became a BeautiControl seller (thanks Tonya and Molli). The skin care and makeup is all spa quality and I love the products.

I guess I should run for this post have a great day and happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd Book For March

Howdy Howdy
Well on Wednesday I finished my second book for March, it was called One Coffee With by Margaret Maron. It is the first book in the series and i really enjoyed it, i was not able to figure out the murderer. Here is a little about the book(from Barnes and Noble)
Synopsis
A new series featuring NYPD homicide detective Sigrid Harald There was more than coffee in Professor Quinn's morning coffee. Someone in the art department office had slipped in a spoonful of poison. Among the suspects are a young secretary, an enraged Hungarian maintenance man, and a colleague who had an affair with Quin's wife. NYPD detective Sigrid Harold is called in to find the killer with an artistic temperament and an aptitude for death.

I like Sigrid I just think she is a little hard on herself when it comes to her looks.This was a light, cozy mystery and i will be looking for the rst of the series.

I am now reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult and I am enjoying the book, plus I am reading Two Down by Nero Blanc. Happy Reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished 1st book of March # 17 for the year

Howdy
I just finished reading A Mournful Teddy by John J Lamb. It was a great book and had some funny moments in it. What I liked about the book was that it did not give to many details on making stuffed teddy bears, in my opinion just the right amount. I thought i had the killer figured out but I was wrong and surprised. I have the second book in the series and i can't wait to see what happens at the next teddy bear convention. Happy Reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to a slow start

Howdy
Well even though it only March 2nd I was hoping to my first book for March finished by today. But I have not done much reading the past few days. I have a nasty cold cold and I think the flu.I am hoping to finish One Coffee with by Margaret Maron by tomorrow but we will see.

I talked with my sister- in- law today and found out that she has started reading thePlum series by Janet Evanovich. Tonya thinks they are funny and is almost done with book six. I just love the plum series the grandmother cracks me up and some of the stuff Stephine gets her self into is just to funny!

Well I guess I will run to now so I can give the girls a bath and get them ready for school tomorrow. Happy Reading!!!!!!!!!!
