    Funny enough I haven't thought about a Turkey breast! That is a good solution. I remember in grade 7 I asked to be the libraian's assistant and I loved it. I know that is not really what you do, but being surrounded by all those books would be pretty cool.

    My style of photography is still being developed I think, but I am drawn to capturing families & children in casual daily activities interacting with their surroundings. I am still very much in the learning stages but I am really enjoying it. One day I hope to be able to possibly do weddings.. I say possibly only because the stress level of a wedding photographer has got to be crazy! That said there are some beautiful photo opportunities to be had.

    I am greatful that I am able to stay at home with to raise my boys and hopefully by the time the second one starts school I should have a business up and running. That is the goal anyway..

    We are trying out something new tonight for dinner... snapper... hope it turns out :)

    Wow, that cakes sounds yummy! I love turkey dinners! I have never made a turkey and this year for Christmas I am off the hook as well for cooking one (even though I am hosting the dinner at my place) I am just going to cook everything else that goes with it. I forgot that in the states you have your thanksgiving in November. My mother is law is currently down in the states taking advantage of your sales, apparently it is a crazy time to shop. I wish you a very yummy turkey dinner. I wish turkeys were smaller and I could just have one any old day of the week :) What is library school? To become a librarian? May sound like a stupid question but I haven't heard of it before..

    Our big plans include Santa pictures -which will hopefully go better than last year but I doubt it my son is still too young (almost 3 years) to not be creeped out by the guy. Thankfully my other son is only 3 months old and won't know any difference. Other than that I am looking forward to decorating our house. This will be our first Christmas in this house. Last night was a big night for me, I am beginning a career in photography and I had my first "Family Portrait" session. I think the pictures turned out good. Better then I could've expected. It will be nice to have a job that I will enjoy instead of one that I just have to pay the bills. Do you enjoy cooking? I used to be terrible, but I am getting better and starting to expirement. Even though spaghetti is my favourite, you can only have it so many times in a week ;)

    That is crazy! I wonder if you could read it faster - if you could sit down to read of course. I haven't read much Henley, but I have read some coulter so I will have to look through those maybe... thanks for the suggestions.. are you getting ready for the holidays?

    Too Funny, I doubt my kids will ever pounce on my books as they are both boys... well maybe if they need some tips... hee hee I love a well built man, who's a bit bossy and possessive... (the last two only in the books tho) Like the Taggarts and Montgomerys.. they are a nice bunch of men. I will let you know what I think for sure, thanks for the suggestion. OOh speaking of Jude Devereaux. I have a hunch this story is hers but I have looked through all my books and couldn't find it. I have a breif description and I was wondering if you happend to know what book it was..

    The book I am looking for is about a woman who moves to a small town and buys a rundown house. Everyone in the town looks at her excitedly and whispers until she finally gets told that she is the spitting image of a woman who used to live in the town, and that she should meet "the hero" because they would hit it off. The reason she is being paired up with him is because as the story goes the soul mates keep coming here to meet. And they always resemble one another ( the men and women look the same as the generations before them). The town is excited because they knew of the hero, but were impaitent for the woman to show up cause she was taking longer then they'd expected or something and they were starting to lose hope.. at one point while cleaning out the house she sees a ghost if I remember correctly and he looks just like the hero. I am probably doing this story a horrible injustice but I remember really loving it. Very cool how the soul mates always found each other in the town.

    I am with you on the Jude devereaux, i have them all except for her few latests ones.. I will do that with Julie Garwood also. Sometimes I think they just can write fast enough ;) I am glad there are authours that have a hit everytime, I have read ones where they are hit and miss and it is sad cause the hit is really good but the miss is really bad, and there's nothing worse then a bad book.

    Laughing out loud from a book is one of the things that makes a book hit my favourite list. I really only started reading 10 years ago .. long time but not that long from a reading standpoint.. I have mostly read historical romances. hmm my best ever read.. tough call, probably Ransom by Julie Garwood or Tender Rebel by Johanna Lindsey. I have read them multiple times. They both made me laugh. I find it is hard to find good new authors. I am now reading Linda Howard's Death angel cause I was feeling in a mood for a romantic suspense. I enjoy learing about history - well finding out how people lived in certain eras,(not so much about the wars and such) and I am not an outdoorsy person either. Did you read the other books in the series after Fantasy Lover? If so was it a series worth reading?

    I just read the synopsis for Fantasy lover - sounds pretty good.. I am definitely adding it to my list. I haven't read Diane Gabaldon yet - tho I have just borrowed the outlander book so I think that will be one of the next ones I read. I hear it is really good.

    I really don't think it matters that you didn't have enough for everyone--you had enough for the people you knew. The others will have no idea nor do I think they would be offended even if they did realize what was going on. As for Cemetery Dance, I'm on disk 7 or 8. More than halfway but not so close to the end that I'm sad it's about to be over! I have Relic on my mp3 player so I guess I'll listen to it next. I still need to listen to the newest Faefever book, too.

    Whew! Glad I wasn't the only one that had a hard time with Keys to the Kingdom. I also have The Edge Chronicles to try but it will have to wait until I'm finished with Cemetery Dance. Thank you so much for the calendar--I think everybody so far is lovin' them.

    I really loved it! Have you read it yet?
    I just finished "The Dead and the Gone" by Susan Beth Pfeffer. (The "Life as We Knew It" companion book). Wow, that one was really depressing! Did you read that one? At least the "Life" book seemed to be kind of hopeful despite all the horrible things, but this next book was so dark and bleak. She needs to write another one so I'll feel better about all of these people!

    Hey, Nicki! Whatcha doing? I miss you lots. I tried to read Keys to the Kingdom, Mr. Monday & ick, I didn't like it at all! Did you like that one? I'm listening to Cemetery Dance right now. It was great for Halloween! I guess I'll see you Friday!

    It's a series of dialogues between the dalai lama, as a representive of buddhism, and western scholars on negative emotions. I've been putting it off but I'll get back to it soon.

    Hi, Nicki! No, I don't bake many pies but I am always willing to eat some. Do you have another great cookbook suggestion?
    I just realized that I never answered your last question. "Looking For Alaska" is a teen/ya book about a group of teens in a boarding school and how they deal with the death of one of their classmates. It was very good.
    I'm reading the latest Dexter book right now and it's a hoot!
    Miss you!

    Hiya Nicki! I listened to "Wild Justice" by Philip Margolin and I read "Looking for Alaska" by John Green. I'm also listening to "Angels and Demons" but I'm not sure I'll be finished by the end of the month. I really liked the John Green book. Have you read it?
