Books-what else?

I suppose some of my posts do not involve books, but books truly are my favorite topic. I am crazy-lovin' this one series of books & I had to share. Drum roll please....or not.







They are sooooo good!!
It's full of mythical creatures like half-demons & half-angels & warlocks (humans too)...basically good against evil kinda stuff.
If you liked Twilight, you'll love Mortal Instuments (by Cassandra Clare).
Go read! Now!!

addictions

I do realize that when most people hear that word, it is very serious and ominous, but of course that's not what I mean. Lately, I have been very aware of how many "addictions" I have-they really are addictions, although you also probably classify them as bad habits. (but let's not get into all my bad habits. you truly do not have the time.)

Firstly, I am addicted to both the Mark of the Lion series & the Twilight series. It's bad, I put one down to show self-control & then I just pick the other one up. I read them both last night while Shaffer slept.

Secondly, I am addicted to my ipod. I listen to it all the time. I take it in the car with me, in the shower (I have a speaker), while I cook, while I clean (ok, to be honest, that one is not very often), I will turn it on even if all I have to do is put my socks on!

Thirdly, I am addicted to sleep. I have had 4 days off (a small miracle) and so far I have slept for 10 hours every night. This is very unlike me, but I can't say I haven't enjoyed it. :)

Between books, music, & sleep I am very effectively wasting time. But today, I am going to hang out with some girls & then Dawn & Zac are coming over later for pizza & who knows what else. So not all my time is being frivilously spent :)

Right now, it looks sunny, but I'm scared it's cold. The weather through a window can be so deceiving.

Party Like You're 28

And I will. And I did. And I am! 28, that is.

I was SO excited...can't you tell?

Phoenix was excited too.

And, apparantly, also an acrobat.

Can't help myself

I admit it. I love love stories.
Not trashy or sappy stories, but real LOVE stories.
This calls for a top 5 list.

5. Joseph Donnelly & Shannon Christie

4. Romeo Montague & Juliet Capulet

3. Claire Beauchamp & James Fraser

2. Eliza Bennet & Mr. Darcy

1. Jesus & His bride

This video of course did not make the cut, but I love watching it!

i miss hubby

oh yeah, missing that man alright.

i actually wasn't missing him until he texted me last night saying he wasn't coming home today after all. now, all of a sudden, i'm lonely. at least i have my kitty kat man here with me. apparantly, georgia has been experincing bad weather so they couldn't get their 5th jump in as planned. no airborne graduation without 5 jumps. sad.

i am expecting him home on sunday. i'm not holding my breath.
but, thankfully, he has no broken bones so far. he doesn't love jumping out of airplanes, but it's gotta be better than waiting tables...

i had wonderful intentions of scrapbooking or something while he was gone, but of course i've done nothing but read. really, to meet me you wouldn't think i was such a dork! at least i hope not. i just can't help myself. i fall into books and i cant get back out.

at work today, dr. rushton showed me like 30 pictures of very pregnant bellies that he photographed and displayed at java joint coffee shop. i mean big ole bellies! (the women were covered up except for their bellies...they were very appropriate on that score). all i got to say is brave souls abound.

ok, now i'm just babbling.
just wanted everyone to know that i miss hubby.
