City of Bones Playlist

OK, I totally ripped this idea off of Stephenie Meyer's website, but I loved the idea of playlists that go along with books! So I made playlists for all 3 of the Mortal Instrument Series and I think they are pretty flippin' rad. The only song I couldn't find for this 1st playlist (City of Bones) was "Black Cloud" by Morrissey (which is obviously from Simon's perspective). It should go in between "Hands Down" and "Thousand Mile Wish", but oh well. Hope you enjoy!

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!
