This book is the coolest!!

Lemony Snicket

I found the following self-review by Lemony Snicket online, and I thought it was awesome....

"Dear Reader,
You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope.
This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.
It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so the end does not finish you.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket"

The joys of parenting.... (Not that I would know)

My sister sent me these pictures (among others) of my neice this week. First of all, I think it is hilarious that when Charlotte was throwing a fit my sister ran for the camera because she thought it was really funny. Second, I think that she is cute in both these pictures.

Harper Collins Hopeful

My friend Cherie has introduced me to the marvelous world of book reviewing! Harper Collins offers a program that allows you to receive (and keep) pre-published books for free that you read and write a short review on. They have three different programs, one each for adults, teens, and children. I, of course, signed up for all three. You get to pick the genera that interests you, and when there is a book that fits one of your categories, you can request to review it. So, you only request the books that interest you. I am so excited! I just signed up today, so I have no idea if and when I’ll be receiving a book to review, but I’m really looking forward to it. Who doesn’t like getting pre-published books for free??

Webdings??

I'd like to know why in heck they decided that Webdings should be one of the 8 fonts that you can use to post blogs in. Who decided that? Who is going to take the time to cut and paste in order to be able to read the idiot's blog who posted in that font?

I have succumbed

Ok, so I decided to join the fray here in blogspot land. I doubt anyone actually reads myspace anymore and I was tired of reading everyone’s blogs and not being able to comment on them! I doubt any of my posts will be very inspirational, but maybe this will make me feel more in the loop. So, there you have it.
