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

    What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

    I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

    The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

    Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

    One day I won't be so ticked off...

    This post started out of sheer frustration. I was mad, angry, and ready to let the world have it. Even told Hubs that I was ready to lock myself in a room and never come out. But that won't do me any good. It certainly won't help my checkbook or my mental health. So what is a girl like me supposed to do? I don't know. I haven't known for years. I started talking to potential donors this past week, in the hopes that maybe we could start trying to get pregnant soon. But when I got home and thought about it, I got sick to my stomach. It's the first time it's ever happened. I'm used to getting sick after hearing about other people getting preggo. But I've never been sick at the thought of having my own kids. That's the dream I've had for almost 20 years now. So what the hell is going on? Is my body sick of the heartbreak? Does the thought of not having a biological child by Hubs make me nauseous? Am I freaked out by how life will go as long as I...
