The first two books that have literally been like crack to my veins this week. Thank god for my house cleaner otherwise NOTHING would get done around my house.
If you like vampires and werewolves and love stories, Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga should no doubt be the next 4 books you read.
I'm almost done with New Moon and I am planning to spend my lunch hour across the street at the bookstore.
Just another thing list to remind me of how many un-checked lists I have.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own weblog / journal so we can try and track down these people who’ve read 6 and force books upon them.

You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
What Tarot Card are You?

Lucky huh? Hmm. I suppose I was lucky that I didn't rear-end that Lexus any harder on Tuesday.
So there I am, entering the underground ramp to my parking garage. I was running late to work so I entered the ramp just before 8AM and this is prime car-crammage time for all the idiot brokers in our building. I happened to be in the heard right behind a lexus and while we began to slowly roll our tired arses down the ramp I made a ridiculous mistake, that I will now blame on my very own vanity, I checked out my gorgeous face in the mirror.
*CLINK-CLANK!*
"Damn."
I was also lucky the driver didn't punch my lights out when he got out of his car. He looked like the kind that didn't care if I was man, woman or mule.
Dear Christina,
I have found the perfect gift for you. Last week your palms developed nasty blisters from pulling that starter cable as aerobically as you did, all the while the mower sat there snickering at you with grass boogers leaking from it's nose.
Anyway, I hope you like it! Tell Shaun he's welcome.
Your Dear Friend,
Aimee
P.S.
I heard shooting lawn mowers with your shot gun can land you in the clink.
