That's awsome, hon. I'm thrilled for you.

I do actually copy the back cover blurbs just for convenience but I always add my own thoughts about the book.  Sometimes it is a struggle to describe my feelings. Especially if it was just a ho-hum book. You know, not great but not awful.

Sadhbh~LOL Just keep doin' what you're doin', hon.

Penn~No, it's okay. I knew you weren't dissing me. It's all cool.

I appreciate the comments. I just needed to vent a bit. I guess I've been around too darned long.  I need to get a life. LOL

I don't get to read every blog or discussion so I didn't know this had been discussed before. I just periodically go to the challenge blogs and scroll through to see if I can find anything interesting--which is frustrating when there isn't anything to really read to find interesting.

I really want us to make our goal, too, so I'll shut up and read.

LOL Amina!

You know, if their office phone had caller id I'd have called her from it. hehehehe

with both your list and Julz's.

I don't have what I consider to be high standards--not that having standards or not gets me any dates but if, Heaven help me, the men of the world ever realize I exist, I don't want to "settle" for just anything. I know what I won't live with (anyone who puts me down, doesn't like my family, doesn't like my dog, doesn't understand my love of books and reading, won't listen or worse--won't speak) and I'm old enough and independant enough to know that I don't have to settle for anything less. I don't NEED a man or to be married. I can take care of myself. But sometimes I think it might be nice to have a partner.

It get's lonely dealing with day to day life issues on my own. Even though I have my family, it isn't the same because they try to force their own ideas and opinions on me when really all I need is someone to listen and share the burden.

At the same time, I realize that the kind of partnership/relationship I envision is highly unrealistic. I know maybe two couples in all my married friends/family who have the ideal marriage. The rest seem more miserable and lonely than I do. If that's all there is out there for me, no thank you.

Sorry, didn't mean to go and get carried away. I just think about this subject a lot the older I get. LOL

But I had to laugh. LOL

Girl, I know exactly how you feel, only with me, it wasn't accidents so much as just a long strange chain of events that had me nearly curled up in a fetal postion. Happens every couple of years or so for me. lol

Hope your chain of accidents comes to a happy close soon. ((((Hugs))))

My sister says the same thing. Her husband has busy periods where he travels a lot and may be gone off and on for months at a time. Then when he comes home for several months she and my niece have to completely change their routines again.

Glad you got your Scooter back, though.

I don't have any excuses for why I didn't read much in March. I wasn't particularly busy (I don't think) I just wasn't inspired to read. Weird, huh?

Happy Birthday!

I turned 29 on the 23rd. I don't think I really mind it. The gray strands of hair that ushered in my 29th year, well, those are a different story! hehehehe
