Summer Book Challenge June Update

     I sort of forgot to post this update on June 1st. Oops. Oh well, I'm still quite satisfied at how many points I got. Too bad I missed the deadline for the link-up. 
    • 15 points: Read a book with "light" or "dark" in the title. (Or "lightness" or "darkness.")
      • Dark Fire, Christine Feehan, 4 stars
    • 20 points: Read a book with an animal on the cover.
      • Dark Blood, Christine Feehan, 5 stars. With all of Christine's books, there are some awesome sex scenes. If you don't like reading these types of scenes, this series is definitely not for you. But with this book, there was a HUGE fight, and it was very well planned before written. It was very detailed, and you could almost feel the intensity of the battles.
    • 25 points: Read a book that is part of a series with at least four books.
      • Dark Melody, Christine Feehan, 4 stars
    • 25 points: Read a book that is longer than 500 pages long.
      • The Face, Dean Koontz, 679 pg , 5 stars. This book was amazing, and creepy.
    • 30 points: Read a book with an alliterative title.
      • Sole Survivor, Dean Koontz, 3.5 stars. This was a re-read, and I was a little disappointed. I used to say this was the first Koontz book anyone should read, but it wasn't as great as I remembered from 10-15 years ago.
    Points: 115

    Food Allergy Test Results

    I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I

    Stressed out this week. Busy and exhausted. I've been singing Annie to keep myself happy. I like this video, because it's so interesting to see how Annie was cast over the years in various countries. Enjoy! Join the link-up at Amber's blog and checl out her giveaway!

    What's Your Song? Thursday Link Up

    This week has just been... rough. It started over the weekend. Mom and I spent a lot of time, money and effort in organizing my kitchen and cooking a ton of food. Sadly, cooking, as much as I love it, has become a major pain for me in the past couple of years, and even more so in the last 6 months. I have been dealing with a lot of back pain, and it is at the point where I cannot stand in one place for more than 10 minutes before I collapse in pain. And when I mean collapse, I'm not kidding. Knees hit the floor, tears start streaming down my face, and I lean on the object closest to me, hoping that the waves of pain along my spine will go away. Doctors have no idea what's wrong, x-rays don't show any problems, and the chiropractor claimed I had 4 pinched ligaments, but I can't afford to go to him twice a week to get adjustments (especially when the last time I went, I was in pain for a week afterwards). I did a lot of cooking while sitting down this weekend to ease the
