I LOVE THIS BOOK!
I bought this book on Friday and finished mid-day Saturday... The book is written so visually, it was like a memory of my own somehow. The fine line between reality and magic was deftly walked by an expert craftsman. I feel like I've just walked out of an epic film! My heart was ( Read more... )

I'm a little tipsy now. We had roast beef and I poured the juices from the pan over my puppies' dog food tonight. Usually they leave a few pellets of dry food in ( Read more... )

Happy Hanukkah! Sorry, I don't have a Hanukkah icon. I should, since I celebrate that too. Anyway, my sister, my dad, my step-mother, my brother, and I have been having festivities. So have my dogs. They love this time of year. They get so many treats and they get to see the family and get lavished with attention. I just let them lick my used ( Read more... )
