Big Hugs to you :(

I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you and thank God (or the Big Shoe) for your family!

Me too. out of the 9-10 people I know, 7 of them have died from complications directly related to the Bypass procedure. I don't believe there were any Lap-Bands in the mix. Sad, really.

This is the first thing I thought!! Good job!!

I think we are *Book Sisters*! Rosamunde Pilcher and Zilpha Keatley Snyder? i love all of both their books!

Happy Accidents!! Amazing work by Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei.. I just happened to stumble across it as a D'Onofrio fan and had to stick it out to get past the *crazy* in to the story. Totally worth it : )

No I haven't but I'll definitely look! I can't even think of a book that is similar to that one it's so unique.....Any suggestions?

That story Sux. I am so sorry that happened to you guys. When will it end???

I am a Nurse and a Pet Parent. As much as they want you to believe the world will end if you miss a clinical, just make sure to be there when it's time for the *make up* dates. This lesson is just ass important as some of the stuff you are learning in Nursing School. Work will always be there. Never put life on hold…

I just downloaded the Kindle and Nook previews of Marisha Pessl's books The Night Film and Special Topics in Calamity Physics. I can't wait to dig into these!!!

Beautiful Ruins was a surprise hit for me! I bought it accidentally on my nook and then figured it was meant to be...And boy was it! I loved it!!!

Two thumbs up for The Blind Assassin!!! It's not typical Attwood so I think it can get lost in the shuffle......I hope you enjoy!

you HAD to wear a sexy outfit? You HAD to dress up as a queen of hearts? Nope.

Maybe it just take the right *Whiney Bitch* to get the point across that NO means NO. Some women can be mighty persuasive believe it or not.

I loved Blue Crush too!!! Michelle Rodriguez??? Surfer chick movie??? i have it on DVD and watch it when it's cold outside!

Thank You both for the kind words :-)

As a nurse, some days just going to work sucks. I got caught up in the day to day grind and forget why I ever chose this profession. Then I see what I do through other peoples eyes. Thank You CHaD for letting me see why I choose to do what I do.

It is problematic when you feel the need to qualify the things you enjoy as being *black activities* or * black music*. That is a sure sign you are co-opting something and not enjoying it organically.

You lost me at " there's no way this girl's a racist".

Yes, calling Africa a country is a common enough error. That is sad.
