READING

This is something I really enjoy. (hope it's rubbing off on my child!). I have many, many favorite authors. But I really like: Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson and John Sanford. There are several "romance" authors I like also: Nora Roberts, Jude Deveraux, Sandra Brown and many others. I just finished Patricia Cornwell's PREDATOR. Very gripping... gotta finish it now kind of book. I read it in about 3 days, all 453 pages of it. Of course, my boss as been out of the office, so I've read a lot at work. I finished it today. I'm not picking up another book till I finish my last 8x8 book (should go pretty fast though). I hope to get most of it done this weekend. I really want to deliver it by Dec 15. I also need to get Em's teacher present done too. An altered clipboard.

My friend, Beth, has had a loss in her family. Her 15 yr old nephew was in a car accident and has died. He was at Vanderbilt in the trauma unit for a couple of days and they declared him clinically dead this morning. The family is donating his organs - or at least what organs they can. They are almost for sure his Liver will be used ...... not sure about heart or kidneys yets. Waiting on testing. Very sad, he would have turned 16 next week. BUT, one good thing is that in his family of 5, he was the only one to go to church. His youth minister had one kid saved last night because of this accident and anticipates more at the funeral. It appears that his nephew made a huge impact on his church youth group and didn't even know it! God always has a plan!

More later!

If you need someplace to go Christmas Eve .....

This would be cool.

Going to a crop tonight

YEA! I have't been in ages! I really need a night out. I thought about working on a gift album for a friend, but I think I want to work on Em pictures. She's the light of my life, seeing her makes me smile. Sometimes I just need that - don't we all. Honestly, sometime she wears me so much. Our mornings are rough, I fuss at her, even spanked her one morning for talking back. It was a terrible morning. Then yesterday, a perfect angel. This morning was almost as good. NICE ...... love easy mornings!

I read a good Elizabeth Lowell book this week. The Wrong Hostage. Quick read, easy to understand- other than it uses a lot of Spanish. But it's still a quick read. Now I'm reading (at work --- shhhh!) a Judy Deveraux book - High Tide - pretty good so far.

Gotta run! Have a good weekend!
