Someone also suggested Unbroken to me the other day. I am currently reading (a physical book) The Witch's Daughter. I'm not far into it, but I can tell it's going to be good. It is printed with a tiny font, so my eyes are really having to pay attention....lots of word on the page. I...

Too many good suggestions here that I'll have to check out. I forgot that the series by Diana Gabaldon is the Outlander series, not the Highlander series...but anyone who has read it knows what I mean!!! I will have to see if I can find the shape shifter series. I will see about The...

I refuse to do Tuck Jumps. I just don't like them, and they are too hard on my body. Air jacks are hard, but somehow easier for me to do.

I think I may have read The Black Jewels trilogy. I will have to go back and check to see. I can't remember, but it sounds very familiar....too many books to keep track of. Someone earlier mentioned, Goodreads.com. I am a member there. I like to get the newsletter with suggestions for new...

I just finished The Witch's Trilogy about a witch trial in Germany in the 1500s. The author wrote it after discovering that one of her ancestors was accused of witch craft not once, but twice. I also finished The Commoner, a book about the Japanese Imperial family. I am trying to read The...

RunninTeach, It's funny....I have some friends who can't fathom why I want to read a book, but most of the people I work with are huge readers. You walk into the lounge at break time, and almost every one has a book in their hands. We swap books back and forth, and have debates and...

I am still thinking about the whole ereader thing. My Mom does not live close to me, so I really can't get my hands on her Kindle. Plus, she's a bibliophile like me, so I don't know that I could pry it away from her....LOL. My boyfriend pointed out that I could buy a battery backup for the...

It was a BRRRRR day again today, with lots of rain. Luckily, it did not freeze as they had predicted. We are water-logged, so the sun will be a good thing tomorrow. I feel for those folks dealing with all the snow in the Midwest and Northeast. I don't like it down here in the summer, but the...

I got an iPad for Christmas. This has really made reading even easier for this out of control bibliophile. I get a lot of free books through the Nook and Kindle apps...some of them are pretty good, even the short, serial stories. I can get regular books from our local library, and ebooks...

One of my cats, Abby, talks. She really does. You can carry on conversations with her, and she is very adept at letting you know what she wants. She will come get me out of bed if the food bowl is empty or the litter box needs to be cleaned. She also watches TV. She will be your best friend...

It is some kind of cold outside, even down here in southern LA. No sun at all today, and more rain tonight with possible icing. I don't know about you guys, but cold weather like this makes me want to cook. I have a huge pot of minestrone soup on the stove right now. This recipe is so...

One of my cats will actually sit in front of the tv and watch....animals get her attention, or any sudden movement. However, last week she really watched Modern Family...it was so funny to watch her watching the tv.

One of my cats' names is Josie too! Actually, it's Josephine, but I call her Josie, Ms Jose', Josie Posey, JP, and mamma cat. I have her daughter too...her name is Abby (Abigail, AB, Abba Dabba, Kitten Cat). They are absolutely crazy.

Josie, I love your cat in that picture. She looks so coy....like, come here, big boy. LOL

I am strictly self-taught. Luckily, I have a lot of photography friends, so I am always learning something new. My boyfriend is a professional photographer, so I get to do a lot of stuff with him.

So far, every cat I have photographed has been adopted. YEAH!!!

I am planning to ditch the $80 cable bill soon. I am getting an antenna for my big tv so I can pick up all the network stations in HD over the air. I already have Netflix and Hulu, but am looking for a more integrated way of getting them to the tv. I can stream Netlfix via the Wii, but Hulu...

Elements is a very good scaled down version of photoshop. For most folks, it has everything you need to organize and edit photos. I am more of an advanced-amateur, so I use Photoshop CS3. There is a newer version, CS5, but I don't need to upgrade at this time....and I just don't have the...

I do photography for a local cat rescue organization, and I can tell you, some of these cats know what they are doing. Most, especially kittens, don't want to cooperate too much, but others will just sit and look at you like, yeah, I know I'm gorgeous. See some examples below...

There have been numerous issues with the video quality of the new dvds. Mine are grainy, and kind of pixelated for lack of a better word. I have done everything suggested to make sure all the settings on the dvd/tv are right, have tried it on multiple dvd/tv combos...all with the same...
