One book that...

I did this meme awhile back but my pal Heather tagged me with it so I figured, heck. Why not? I can always shake up the answers, right?

1.)One book that changed your life... This one hasn't changed. Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt. This was the first book that really stuck with me and to this DAY I remember how much I loved it. It really inspired a love of reading in me that hopefully will never change.

2) One book that you've read more than once... I've read just about all my books more than once. Or at least, all my older books. Back when I couldn't afford a lot of new books I read all my books on rotation so that they all got equal re-read time. BUT, just to name one, Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts.

3) One book you'd want on a deserted island... To echo Heather, Oh, gosh -- I have no idea. But if I absolutely had to chose off the top of my head, I'd more than likely say one of Jennifer Weiners...Either In Her Shoes or Goodnight Nobody . OR, I might just take the Bible with me since being on a deserted island would be the best time to commune with God. None of those earthly distractions to keep me from reading it, right?

4) One book that made you laugh... Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. Actually just about all of her books that I've read have had some laugh out loud moments. :-)

5) One book that made you cry...Me and Emma by Elizabeth Flock. That was one tough book to get through with dry eyes...or at the very least, a heavy lump in my throat and burning eyes.

6) One book you wish you'd written... I'm going to stick to my orignial answer...anything with my name on it. LOL That great American romance novel I've been itching to write since before I knew I loved to write. Just can't get it from my head and onto print, though. It's stuck in the scary recesses of my mind. lol

7) One book you wish had never been written... Oh, gosh. What was that aweful thing I had to read in English Lit? I can't rememeber the name of it but it was NASTY. As in, I couldn't finish reading it because I kept needing to vomit, nasty.

8) One book you're currently reading... I'm still working my way through Jennifer Weiner's The Guy Not Taken.

Hehe, Hey Jana, I just did the What's your American Accent survey. It said I'm from the West. Which is funny, since I'm Canadian, and live east of Toronto! Too funny.

LOL Funny, innit? I'd have sworn that I have a deep southern accent but I guess not as southern as I thought. :-D

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
