Would You Rather Wednesday..

Time to play!! I haven't done this in awhile , so here goes. I give you questions with 2 possible answers, you have to pick one. You cannot say neither. No, really, you can't. It's not even possible, so don't try it.

Here we go...

Would you rather....

Shave your head? or not shave any hair from your body for a year?

Eat nothing but Spam for a week?

Or nothing but Hot Pockets for a month?


Join a Fight Club?

Or the Red Hat Society?


And lastly... for those of you who I know secretly love it.. your bonus gross out question..

Would you rather get it on, all freaky-like, with
Billy Mays (who knows where those thumbs have been...)


or creepy Willard Scott from the Today Show...

hmm... looking at these pics, I am sensing a theme with the thumbs... oh the things those thumb could do... blech! I just threw up a little...

Love Notes From A Seven Year Old...

Yesterday, when I got home from the store, Roslyn had 2 loves notes waiting for us. One for Craig and one for me. Both were very sweet. One was hilarious...

Here is mine:

It reads:
Dear Mom,
You are the best mom I ever heard of and even sometimes you are very funny but the best thing you can do is be my mom. Love Roslyn. (And then there is a portrait of me.. lookin' quite spiffy I might add.)

And then Craig handed me his to read.

His read:
Dear Dad, you are the best dad in the world. Even you know that sometimes you can get grumpy but you are my dad and that's the best thing you can do. Love, Roslyn.
(and then there is a pic of craig, complete with a shirt that reads "Life Stinks.")

God, I love this kid.

Question of the Weak.... Celebrity Crushes..

So this week's QUESTION OF THE WEAK is.... Who are you celebrity crushes?? Who do you find yourself drooling over on tv and at the movies? What singers really do it for ya? Why do you like them? Don't be embarrassed, tell us! We wanna know!! Leave your answers in the comment section, or link us to your site and tell us all about your secret crushes!

Now, I am going to tell you a little about my secret celebrity boyfriends. I have odd tastes. I always go to the weirdos. (Sorry Hubs, but you know it's true.)I always have comedy crushes. I love, love, love funny guys. It helps if they are cute, but quirky is always sexy to me.

My first boyfriend is.... SIMON PEGG!


I just love, love, love him! There is just something about that goofy grin of his...and his just all around "spazzy-ness". If you haven't seen Run Fat Boy, Run! you have got to see it! Although, he's funny in eveything! And oh, I forgot the accent... love the accent.

Secret Lover #2 is Paul Rudd.

Don't even try to pretend that you don't love him, too. You know you do. What's not to love? Funny, cute and weird. I love it when he is on Conan and when it's time to roll a clip of his new movie, it is always the same "Mac and Me" clip. (remember that goofy movie?) He does it everytime. High-larious. I especially love it when he plays a pissed off character like the super cool Andy in Wet Hot American Summer. And yes, I admit, he wouldn't need his Sex Panther cologne from Anchorman for me.

Private Dancer #3 is.... Jack Black.

Yeah, you heard me, Jack Black. I love him. I find him very attractive. I don't know what it is. He is so very talented. Have you heard Tenacious D? His band? Um, they rock. Just don't let your kids hear it. And he is freakin' hilarious. I think I just may marry him someday. Hubby won't mind.

My Final Boy Toy is.... Will Arnett...


I mean, come on ladies... look at that face! How can you not love him? He is just so pissy and weird and goofy. I love that snarky attitude. And the voice... awesome! Add to the fact that he is married to Amy Poehler who is a girl crush of mine, so bonus points for that.

There ya have it... my celebrity secret boyfriends. I stalk them all.. the bushes in front of Simon Pegg's house are actually pretty comfy...

#29 The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Oh, how I adored this book! The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that it ended! I wanted it to keep going! I did not want it to end!

The story is told in a series of letter and telegrams, which is always magical to me. I find it amazing that an author (or authors in this case..)can create a story that way. I love stories told in this matter. It feels as if you have come across a chest full of old letters in your granny's attic. Almost as if you are spying on someone else's life.

Juliet is a young woman, living in post WWII London. She is single, and quite sure that she will never find true love, especially in her war torn city. She makes her living writing a column for a daily paper, called "Izzy Bickerstaff Goes to War". But when the war ends, she finds herself struggling for new story ideas. As if by fate, she receives a letter for a complete stranger, asking for help locating a book. The stranger is a pig farmer named Dawsey, living on the island of Geurnsey. Geurnsey was occupied by the Germans during the war and the residents are just coming out from under their thumb. But they've got plenty of stories to tell. Juliet and Dawsey begin a regular correspondence and soon other islanders are sending letters as well. A strong friendship is formed and soon Juliet finds herself visiting the island. She has come to collect the stories, both happy and truly heartbreaking, for a book. But she manages to find much more than just inspiration for a story. She finds real people with real hearts and real frienships, along with a love of books.

Some of the stories she hears are absolutely horrific. Others are heartwarming and funny. But all of them are completely absorbing and fascinating.

I fell in love with each other characters, all who are as different from one another as possible. The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is truly amazing. I cannot recommend it enough!!

So where've I Been??

Well, I've been here all along. Just hiding. I've been going through some stuff. Hubby and I have been fighting. We're ok now. I am trying to get my groove back.

Like I've said before, I've just been struggling with life in general. Trying to find my way and all that. Thank you all so much for all the words of encouragement! They worked! I'm back, bitches. (or at least, I am sticking my head in the window and waving!)

I don't have much to fill you in with right now. I truly haven't been up to much. Reading, as usual. Trying really hard to become a happy housewife. Trying to exercise regularly (and failing). I am also at war with those tiny little black ants that keep invading my kitchen and bathroom... where the hell do they come from???

Anyway, I don't have much to say... other than, I owe a visit to all of your blogs!! I'm a bad bloggy buddy!

Took a week off...

So, I don't know who noticed, but I took a week off of blogging. I've been in a funk. I had some thinking to do. Nothing huge, but some small changes I am trying to make in my life. To put it bluntly, I'm bored. Oh, so very bored. So I am volunteering at the local library and my daughter's school and looking into possibly going back to school in the next few months. I have a tendency towards depression, so it is not a good thing for me to not have a purpose during the day. I ran out of work to do for my job, so I'm not working from home anymore. I am not the stay at home all day type. I can't do it. So I am in search of a new life... what that means, I have no idea. But I'll let ya know when I find out.

Books #25-28, 3 I hated and 1 I loved...

A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
I wanted to love this one! It sounded so good! A lonely, widowed man sends away for a mail order bride, hoping to make a happy life and start over. But... bleh. It was boring. I can see how the author tried to make it this suspenseful, lusty novel full of betrayal and heartache. But, all I got out of it was a lot of whining and wasted paragraphs full of plotting revenge that never quite pans out. The main characters were not likeable in the least, and the ending was just plain weird. I don't recommend it.
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

Oh my gosh, I loved this one. Such an epic story, filled with fairy tales and mystery. A four year old child is found on a boat dock in Australia in the early 1900's. She does not know her name or where she came from. All she has with her is a small white case and a book of fairy tales. She spends her adult life trying to find out who she really is and when she passes, her granddaughter picks up the trail. This book was so good and everything a good mystery should be. Usually I have mysteries figured out halfway through, but this one had me guessing until the end.
The Somnambulist by Jonathan Barnes

Urgh.. that's all I can say. Have you ever started a novel and found yourself thinking.. "Did I miss something? Is there a prequel to this book that I should have read?" From the beginning of this book I just felt as if the author was assuming that I knew certain things...where certain characters came from.. but I didn't. It just didn't make sense to me. I stuck out though in hopes that it would all make sense in the end, but it didn't.
The Reincarnationist by MJ Rose

This book was ok, not great. I just felt like I was reading the Davinci Code or something, and I didn't like the Divinci Code. I was bored about midway through.

I know these book reviews make no sense and are ridiculously short, but I've been busy and this is my way to keep track of the books I read.

Hot Seat Question #4

Welcome to the Hot Seat! Each week, I give you a situation to ponder. Some will be silly (this is me, after all). Some will be serious. Some will be though-provoking (but not many... I mean come on. You know I can only go so deep). I am going to give you several possible responses and you can choose one, or of course, leave your own. It's just a fun little social experiment and a way for us all to get to know each other.

Now, here is your fourth scenario:(this has actually happened to me...)

You are strolling through a parking lot when you spot a fifty dollar bill lying on the ground. There is a group of people walking a few feet in front of you.. did they drop it? It looks like it's been there awhile. Do you ask them, or just take it? What do you do?

a. Woo hoo! Free money! Grab it and run directly to Target.

b. Ask the group of people in front of you, who, of course, say that yes, they did drop it. They snicker amongst themselves and you are left feeling like they were lying and just took your free money.

c. You conscious will not let you pick it up.. it feels like stealing.. what if someone comes back looking for it?

d. Stalk the money for a few minutes behind a car to make sure that no one is playing a trick on you...(like the ones on TV where they attach fishing line to it and you are left chasing the fake money through the parking lot.Then Howie Mandell jumps out and laughs at you.) Slowly and casually, you saunter past the money and try to look shocked. Say very loudly "Oh my, fifty dollars!! I better hurry into this Starbucks and see if anyone lost it!... If not I will donate it to poor starving children in Africa!" and then walk off, pretending to pray.
