A New Addiction...



I have honestly never been hooked on any sort of TV show...ever. When people talk about any TV show I am always the one in the dark! Until now! About 2 weeks ago my dear friend Marci introduced me to Grey's Anatomy. And I now stand before you...an addict! Lucky for me the seasons are available at blockbuster! Commercial free! I enjoy how fast paced it is and lets face it Dr. McDreamy is well...very McDreamy!

Suggestions if you PLEASE!

Hello my fellow blogites! Now that Adam is back in school, Cher has a little too much time on her hands. I have gotten a few guilty pleasure books (5 to be exact) out of the way and now am ready for some more! But I can't decide which book shall be next. This is where you as blog readers come in handy!

I thought perhaps a visit to the classics would be rewarding... the candidates are as follows:

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens


What is your vote? I welcome any suggestions you have! Bring on the reading!

Tips?

Hey everyone! Well today officially kicks off Adam's fall semester and new career path in Chemical Engineering. All of these changes have got me thinking about how people do this! And by "this" I mean, how are people able to pay bills, pay for groceries, pay for rent etc...and pay for school...all without going into debt! And beyond that...how are all of these married college students able to have children on top of that?!!! I think I need a financial advisor...

Sigh.

Coincidence? I think not...

So I went and saw the movie "Swing Vote". Coincidence that this movie came out in an election year and was released just 3 months prior to the election date? I think not! Despite all the critics bad reviews out there and the fact it bombed at the box office I actually liked it. It was funny, a bit thought provoking, and a little politically incorrect at times. Voting in the state of Utah seems pointless to me...as our electoral votes pretty much a guarantee the Republican Nomination not that that is a good or a bad thing, it's just hard to see the point in voting at all in a state so apart of one political party. Any how...has any one else seen this? What were your thoughts?

As the group Simple Plan once sung..."I'm ADDICTED to you!"


Hey gang :) Well I like the rest of the adult females across the United States have now finished the finale of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn! All I can say is such a good time! I was going to wait to get the book and had no plans of standing in line till midnight at Barnes and Noble, but after talking with my girl friends Kari and Jenn on Friday night last week, we got sooo excited and headed out at 11:50 p.m. to the local Walmart to get the book! I read it just over a day as I couldn't put it down! I wanted to know what happened before someone ruined it for me! Don't be alarmed! I realize the book has been out less than a week so I wont put any spoilers on my blog to ruin it for any of you...but I must say as much as I hate to admit it that I loved the book ! Sigh...

The Last Ryde. Need I say more?



We went to a funeral this past week for Adam's cousin. This was the hearse most cleverly titled the "Last Ryde" that was used. Special times...
