Have You Seen This?

Super interesting and entertaining. I would have liked being one of the freezers, but how did they keep from laughing? That's what I want to know . . .

Book Tagged

Oh Goodness! I've been tagged by my dear friend, Melissa, so here goes. I'm supposed to grab the closest book, turn to page 123 and read (and type here) the 5th sentence. I'm also then supposed to tag 5 new people. Well, hmmm, the closest book right this very minute is a Photoshop instructional manual by Scott Kelby. The boring news is that on page 123 there isn't even a 5th sentence - only 2 with big instructional pictures included. Since you don't want to hear about that, I'll choose the next closest book - one I picked up at the library today based on a book list provided by Melissa and her fabulous book club girls in Colorado. The book, which I just carried up the stairs with me before sitting down to check blogs, is The Diary of Mattie Spencer, by Sandra Dallas.

I think I remember Melissa saying something about how she really liked this book. Then again, maybe she said she hated it and that's why it sticks out in my mind . . . Either way, it looks like my kind of book - Depression days, living on the prairie, etc, etc. It gets 4.5 stars on Amazon, so I'm looking forward to it!



So let's see, page 123 . . . 5th sentence . . . "Poor Sallie survived months of inhuman treatment, only to die within an arm's reach of freedom, but perhaps there was some mercy in this; Sallie was enceinte."



Sounds uplifting . . . "enceinte" - am I the only one who had to go to dictionary.com for this one? The sentence is much more intriguing when you know the meaning of the word. It's true what they say . . . you learn something new every day. Thanks for the tag, Melissa, and for the exciting new read I have ahead of me!

I tag Monique, Kellie, Julie, Brittany, and Jen.

OK, She's Sung for Mitt, but not for America

Mitt's out. It's official. I'm sad, but after watching his speech, I know he's still got the right idea. He absolutely "gets it" and if you don't agree, go find his speech on the internet. It's not about politics or money or anything else that he's been accused of. It's about the heart of our very lives - families, safety, security, and freedom. For now, we have to do what's right for America. In another 4 years, there will be another chance at bringing our focus back to the place it should be.

Mitt is a real class act. Maybe people will realize that now, more than they ever did when they had a chance to vote for him . . . .

The Fat Lady Has Sung - Almost. . .

I'm feeling very sad tonight - the election results show a real disappointing trend in America's judge of character. Oh well. Maybe it will save me a trip to the polls in November. I don't know how I'd choose between the arrogant liar and the crazy woman. Hmmm . . . .

The Big Day!
