list of 10 - 10 things for a perfect weekend - May 11, 2012

 

I just finished reading Paradise Valley by Robyn Carr.  This was the best book in the series so far.  I was losing a bit of interest in the series after the last few, but this one knocked it out of the ballpark.  It is a definite puffs plus book.  (Need something more tender than kleenex). ha ha.

Another Book, Another Day, More meanderings~March 24, 2012

 

Just finished reading another Robyn Carr book.  Angel's Peak.  It was really good.  Hard to put down.  I know this is a series and I am reading them all out of order, but I guess it doesn't matter.  ha ha.  Went to the library today and got 2 more of her books.  The one's I am reading are from the Virgin River series. I have read another one of hers not from this series and it was good too.  When I find an author I like I try to read all their books.  I have read all the Danielle Steel books, and most of Barbara Delinsky's books.  The problem is I never kept track of what I did and did not read.  I would go and buy a book only to get a few pages in and know I've read it.  Over the years the covers change and sometimes I have read the hardback books and then they come out in paperback...  I also have read all of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovitch.  I have read others from her, and didn't care for them.  Sandra Brown is another one until she started writing the murder ones and then I didn't care for them as much, so stopped reading her.  There are so many that I like and then again some authors I like some of their books and not others.  I love to read, so I hope my eyeballs hold out over the years.  I have listened to the books on tape and don't care for them.  They have someones voice that I don't picture when I read.

 

Went to Publix and picked up some medication.  They have certain medicine that is free, and my diabetes pill is one of them.  I also need to get something for supper, and look over their ice cream selection.  I know it will blow my sugar even higher, but hopefully not to much worse.  I manage it really well, but with the steroids from the epidurals it makes my sugar go way up there. I have lots of problems from them.  My advice to you all, which my daddy told me many years ago.  He said "Honey, don't get old".  I said the alternative wasn't much better.  ha ha..  And my own doctor told me "After 40 it's all downhill".  ha ha.  You know your old when you talk about your ailments and what medications your on.  ha ha....

 

Well it's fixin to rain.  They are calling for thunder storms, so I am going to post this now.

 

Until next time.

Another Book Read, Neighbor Complaint , and Lame Joke March 16, 2012

The people (no longer referred to as neighbor) are at it again.  They are so loud and that music is pounding into a headache for me.  And it's only 7PM.  I can't wait until 10 or 11 tonight.  I will be sooooooo glad when bike week is over.  I love seeing the bikes and riders and dogs with their little goggles and clothes, but the neighbors have to go.. ha ha...

 

Finished reading Harvest Moon by Robyn Carr.  It was a cute little book, and the 2nd that I have read by her.  I think I will eventually read all her books, and she has a lot.

 

Tomorrow is St. Patty's day.  That means a crock pot full of corned beef and cabbage along with carrots and potatoes. Everyone is Irish on the 17th of March, right??? 

 

I have just been loving this windy weather.  It's a little cool in the morning and even though it's hot in the afternoon, the breeze feels so good.  I wish I could find a place to live where it was like this all the time. 

 

Well, that's about it for now.  I will leave you with a groaner

 

What do you call an Irish girl who stays out all night?

 

Patty O'Furniture

 

Your groaning right.  ha ha.

 

Until next time

Can We Tawk ~ January 15, 2012

Can we tawk....  I'm from Philly and Jersey and that's what we say..  ha ha

Finished reading "A Summer In Sonoma" by "Robyn Carr".  I really enjoyed the book and her characters, and want to read more of her books.  I'm like that.  If I find an author that I like I try to read all the books they have written.  This one was about 4 friends and their relationships since high school.  It is also about their husbands and boyfriends, and just a good book.  Easy reading.


I am sure someone thinks I'm nuts.  Really..  I was on the way home from my brother's (good supper) and was stopped at the light when "I Don't Want This Night" by Luke Bryan came on.  So here I am rocking out to that song, which I love, shaking my head, playing on the steering wheel, when out of the corner of my eye I see a person staring at me in the car next to me.  Oh my gosh.  He was laughing, and then I got to laughing, the light turned green, and I took off quick. ha ha..I am sure he could see how red my face was even though it was night, dark, and my windows are tinted.  ha ha..  Note to self, watch for other cars...  ha ha.  Good thing they couldn't hear me.  I threw away all that money my mom gave me for singing lessons.  Think I bought bazooka bubble gum with it, or something like that.  ha ha.
