I love my car. I've had my poor little piece of shit since 1998 and she has been with me through one accident, countless trips to visit friends and day to day drives to work and errands. She's old. We're talking 17 years old. And it's time to replace her. I spent most of last year getting myself accustomed to that fact and now...it's time ( Read more... )

While I'm fairly certain I read more books in March, such as some eBooks I forgot to account for, what I recall is listed below.

High Noon by Nora Roberts - this was a reread for me. I saw the Lifetime movie in February that was based on the book and wondered exactly how much they had changed in the story so I pulled out my copy of High Noon and ( Read more... )

I love Canadian author Margaret Atwood. I love hockey. I'm disappointed there isn't Olympic hockey coverage here in the USA on non-cable tv. So when I went looking for some clips of my Canadian boys in action I came across something different. Something that at first didn't make sense to my sleep deprived brain.

Canadians do take their hockey, and ( Read more... )

 My icon choice has nothing to do with today's post.  It's there because I felt like displaying my love for Sam and Dean Winchester. Hee!

A and I finally entered the 21st century when it comes to our internet connection. We've had cable for years and years - since I was teaching at my previous employer, in fact.  Cable modems are great. The ( Read more... )

I had this set up to post last Friday and for some reason LJ isn't showing me the love. This week you get not one, but two Soundtrack Friday posts! Aren't you lucky. :-)

It's old home week at the Inspiration household and we've been listening to a lot of music from our younger, more impressionable days. Part of this is due in no small part to the ( Read more... )

Riptide by Margaret Carroll -- Creepy, full of secrets and sins, this book is not what I would consider a romantic suspense but hits my suspense genes in all the right places. A wonderful book full of twists and turns and desperation that coalesces in a spine tingling ending that satisfies and left me asking for more.

I was listening to the radio hearing all about this storm/blizzard that's going to take over Minneapolis/St. Paul and thought to myself, "Self, that's not a bad thing. Being snowed in for Christmas will mean more chocolate and liquid cheer for me and less stress about trying to zoom around to meet up with all of A's various family members." Then I ( Read more... )

I heard this song on the radio this week and I was tickled by the chorus. You see, the song mentions one of my favorite bands from the 80s - Mr. Mister. Naturally I downloaded the song from iTunes, along with both soundtracks from Glee because I'm in the mood for music I can sing along with in car. The song makes me happy. So very happy ( Read more... )

I thought this was hysterical. Could be because I'm so tired everything is looking hilarious to me. I hope you Star Wars fans enjoy!

There's a song making it's way through the air waves of America. It sounds peppy and upbeat. It talks about fireflies and what could be more whimsical than those sultry lightening bugs? When the song plays I see people bop at the desks, sway on the street. Every one has a little lilt to their step ( Read more... )
