Here is a meme from Alex: 1.)Q. Can you cook? 1.)A. Yes! I can do anything and everything as long as I have the Good Housekeeping cookery book to help me out. The book is ancient; the front cover fell off the other day! But I can do all sorts, like roast dinners, spaghetti bolognese, apple crumble...
In the words of the one and only Paris Hilton - "that's hot." Listening -> Fergalicious by Fergie. Anyone who turns their name into an adjective is worthy of some sort of respect. Well, perhaps not, but it's a bangin' chooooon. -> Under My Umbrella by Rihanna. Fitting with the current weather. ->...
Well, I'm down to 6 left! Almost countable on one hand. The skin on my upper chest is breaking down from the radiation, and I have a swollen area on the right side of my face, which the MD thinks is an inflammed salivary gland, but I'm hanging in. Energy isn't great today so I'm resting and reading....
Now that my first semester has finally come to an end, I'm back to reading. Here's my first list. Please don't judge. Some of these are for my book group, one was for class, and the rest are my picks. I have to say, I'm tempted to flag at least one of the book group selections or remove it from the...
After all, summer is here--never mind that it is constantly here except for the sole month of December--and that means catching up on reading full-time! So here is the list (mind, it's going to be updated constantly): - The Way We Live Now, Anthony Trollope - The Forsyte Saga, John Galsworthy -...
I'm about 250 pages in, and I've decided that I'm going to start reading something new on the 1st of February even if I'm not done with this. I'm still going to keep this book around and pick it up now and again - but I'm not going to concentrate on it anymore. Thoughts so far? I'm not really...
So here I am, feeling fresh and clean after a pre-bedtime shower. I’ve got CNN on the TV, and I’ve made my way through e-mail, feeds and LJ-land. Time and some to put up a blog entry. I was called on to help out with a simple layouting project, but for whatever technical reasons there were, I...

It's been updated. Again. (I'm also going to add the books I buy this year as I buy them--and the new releases that I know I'm buying--so that it's a better list of what I've read and what I want to read.) The Sister by Poppy Adams Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison...
So. There was a meeting of this women’s group I was supposed to attend. Not obligatory, but being a newly-minted member of the Board of Trustees, it would have been nice for me to have been there. And I would have been, I was looking forward to seeing the National Historical Institute and all,...
And here's my book list for 2007. This, like the movie list does not include any books I didn't finish. It also doesn't include any cookbooks I read. (R) means repeat reading. Still sick, but feeling better this morning! I'm going to attempt a shower and some cleaning. Then I'll be sitting down with...
Clearly I have a lot of reading left to do. The Sister by Poppy Adams Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet: Because We're All in it Together by Suzanne Barnett, Jennifer...

I doubt I would have gotten around to reading this book for quite some time, had a friend not recommended it to me. I am very grateful to her, because I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a fictional story, set against a factual backdrop. Hannah Green is a Jewish girl, who is sold into the service of...
I am so glad to say that I've finally finished The Other Boleyn Girl. I've only just finished it and have actually stayed late at work in order to finish it and marked it completed in my challenge list. After finishing it, I've decided that though I didn't care for the writing style, character...
