Hey all, Darci Cole did this over on her blog, and I thought it was so fun, so I thought I'd take a stab at it! Favorite book cover The cover of  The Great Gatsby. That face seemingly floating in the sky is eerie. What are you reading right now? I'm trying a new author out and really enjoying her so far. Daughter of Mythos by Melissa Drake Do you have any idea what you'll read when you're done with that? The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher What five books have you always wanted to read but haven't gotten round to? The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, finally! What magazines do you have in your bathroom/lounge right now? None. What's the worst book you've ever read? I truly try to forget them. I see no reason to change that now. What book seemed really popular but you didn't like it? 50 Shades...I mean, seriously. Thankfully, I simply tried the free excerpt and didn't waste my money. What's the one book you alwa...

Yesterday I took the kiddo to his first piano lesson. Turns out it's his last for at least another year. Apparently, playing your own music instead of playing what your piano teacher wants you to play is bad. *shrug* Go figure. When I asked him what he thought about piano lessons, he looked me right in the eye and stated, "It was fun, but would have been a lot funner if she'd have let me play the music I wanted to play. My music is way better than hers, mom. Can you just get me my own keyboard? I'll teach my own piano lessons to myself." How do I even argue with that? Today begins my obligation to the kiddo's school PTA. *sigh* I am not one of those moms who enjoys being up at my kids school, well, ever. I 'did' school already. It's boring and tedious. I made good grades, because when you're forced to be some place for most of the hours of the day, there's nothing else to do but accept the inevitable and make the best of it. The ki...

Last weekend, I celebrated my 7th wedding anniversary by surprising my hard to surprise hub with a trip to Vegas. *pats self on back* I hate secrets and this one nearly killed me trying to keep it. But I did it! The hub, never to be outdone, had these waiting in our room upon arrival! Love him! We took in a few shows. The first of which I ran 2 miles across the strip in 2.5" platform shoes b/c I might have planned poorly. (My feet are still recovering).   It was worth it though to see, Chris Angel, the fuzzy one on the right. That dude has serious skills. You think the Anti-Christ would appear as a magician? *shrug* Probably not a big enough platform for dreams of world domination, but it was straight up eerie how good he was. We also gambled, albeit responsibly. Meaning we took money we didn't mind losing and proceeded to lose some of it. I love the craps tables, while the hub is into blackjack. Both of us really enjoyed ourselves and pretty much broke even on...
