Christmas Lists #2

My sister wants to know what I want for Christmas.  I hadn't put a lot of thought into it this year, since Keith and I decided we weren't going to exchange gifts this time.  We gave each other the gift of a new sewer line and a large clump of dirt, gravel and clay pipe in our front yard. ;)

Unfortunately the things I do want - grey boots, new jeans, chunky turquoise ring - are all things that I have to specifically pick out and try on.  I'd love to ask for gift cards, but then I also need to ask for a babysitter to watch the kids so that I can actually leave the house.  And if I am asking for a babysitter, I'd also like to throw on a housekeeper as well. 

 As I started thinking of what I wanted, I turned to my amazon wish lists for ideas.  Then I had to scrap that idea because then all I would be getting is books for Christmas.  Oh wait! That would actually be perfect.  Although then I would need that babysitter again to watch the kids while I read all day.......  Ideally I'd like a giftcard for Amazon to get books for my kindle, but I don't know if they have that.

But in the spirit of fun and wishful thinking, here is my wish list if money wasn't an option:


 



Also, these would be nice.

Ok, enough about me! Now I need to get back to figuring out what the kids are getting from Santa this year!

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
