A meme, A Meme

Keri, a new follower of my blog, has a wonderful blog called It Flickers Dimly. She tagged me for a meme. I am honored :)

So, without further ado:

These are the rules: Pass this on to 5 blogging friends. Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the closest book to you at the moment, turn to page 56. Write the fifth sentence, as well as two to five sentences following that.

The book laying right next to me on the bed is The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts. It's Book Three of the Sign of Seven Trilogy. I LOVE Nora Roberts, and especially her trilogies.

She picked up her own notebook, scribbled in it as she continued. "Undead. We know that it can take the form of someone who's died. What if this isn't, as we thought, a new trick, but an ability it had before Dent imprisoned it, and is only now, as what we're told is the final Seven approaches, able to pull that out of its hat again?"

The 5 bloggy friends I am tagging are the last 5 people who posted on their blogs, of those who I follow on my dashboard (was that clear as mud):



The Grocery Cart Challenge

Moms Without Blogs

Musings of a Quirky Loon

The Norwidians

A Womb at the Inn (sane)



Do the meme or not, it's your choice. Pass it on or not, it's your choice.



Thanks again Keri for tagging me.

I'm a dork

I had an hour to kill after work, before I met a good friend for sushi (I haven't eaten "real" sushi/sashimi in what feels like months). We have a children's Birthday Party to go to, for the big monkey's friend tomorrow and I still needed to buy a gift. So, off to Barnes and Nobles I went.

According to another friend, I have almost a Birthday party a week. She's exaggerating, but sometimes it does feel that way.

I have decided that 6-8 year old girls have random taste in clothes (I never know if the cute Hannah Montana shirt is going to be well received or not), have way too many toys and don't want educational things (except my freak monkeys, who love to receive workbooks as gifts). So, I've settled on Chapter books and other books. Most kids this age are just discovering the joy of books and the worlds that the stories open up! I ended up getting her Paula Deen's My First Cookbook and a kit with Apron, wooden spoon and utensils. Her family likes to cook - hopefully she'll like it.

While there, I HAD to look around for myself - books are my biggest weakness. I could easily spend $100/month at Barnes and Noble!

I was SOOOO excited - two books I was waiting for came out this month!
Heather Graham - Deadly Gift, book 3 of The Flynn Brothers Trilogy
Nora Roberts - The Pagan Stone, book 3 of The Sign of Seven Trilogy

I walked out of the book store absolutely giddy with anticipation! I love getting back to the characters I have grown fond of. I can't wait to get a couple of hours to my self so that I can read!

Yes, I'm a dork, but a happy dork :)

And the sushi was, hands down, the best I have had in a very long time!
