I took these a few months ago from our airport parking lot’s roof! PJ and I had been to the airport for a birthday party so I had my camera and the  sky was beautiful!

I saw this meme over at Cathy’s blog and thought it looked like something I’d like =). So head on over to SkyWatch Friday and see some more great  sky pics!

A Walk Down Memory Lane

 

Wednesday's Walk Down Memory Lane

Come for a walk with me down Memory Lane!
And if you have a "Memory Lane" post, head on over to Scottsville to join in on the fun!

This is PJ at a little over a year old! He had curls, but lost them with his first haircut! He was also very chubby!  He didn’t recognize himself when I showed him this picture! I think it’s adorable and boy is it hard for me to remember him this young!

Book Review~ Face of Betrayal by Lisa Wiehl

Face of Betrayal by Lisa

Wiehl with April Henry

When I got this book I didn’t know much about it. I wasn’t dying to read it but I finished my other book so I started it! I read a few pages and was thinking I was going to have to make myself read it, wrong! After I got past around page 20 I couldn’t put it down!

The story was centered around three friends who call themselves the Triple Threat Club (I thought the name was kind of corny). Allison, who is a Federal prosecutor, Nicole who is an FBI agent and Cassidy who is a reporter for a local television station.  At the beginning of the book Katie, a girl in the Senate page program, goes missing while on winter break.  Almost immediately the Senator who sponsored her participation in the page program is a suspect in her disappearance! There are  several twists and turns and things aren’t always as expected! Alison, Nicole and Cassidy all help contribute to the case in their own way. Several of the other characters encounter danger along the way, making for more excitement and ‘can’t put down’ factor!

There was plenty of suspense but it wasn’t scary for me at all. I felt like there were so many ‘main’ characters that none of them were fully developed, but I did still learn plenty about each of them. And I imagine their characters might well continue to develop in future books (just a guess on my part). The book switched perspectives a lot, which in the very beginning was a bit confusing but eventually I felt it added interest and dimension! There was a touch of scripture and prayer in the book, in a way that I don’t think would be offensive to non-believers, but as a believer makes you feel a bit more connected to Alison, the prosecutor. One more thing of note for bloggers is that the missing character had a blog which you get to read snippets of (oh how I wanted to be able to read through her whole blog at the beginning)!  I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars!

If you are interested here is a video of the author talking about her book, she is a Fox News Legal Analyst who you may have heard of!

Not Me Monday

NotMeMonday

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Not Me Monday post! I didn’t really feel right doing one without MckMama, while Stellan was in the hospital. I am so happy that he is home! But in case you didn’t know Not Me Monday is where you confess all your embarrassing and awful moments of the last week while still managing to deny them! Oh yeah and my favorite part is  to read about how ‘perfect’ everyone else is!

 

I did not have my parents come over (from 40 minutes away) to babysit while I went to get my recheck echo! When I got there I didn’t find out that my appointment was supposed to be for another day, I was not embarrassed and wasn’t thrilled when they said they would see if they could fit me in! I didn’t forget to even mention that I was this ditzy to my parents when I got back!

So this past week I did not rearrange my living room even though the rest of my house was filthy and calling screaming my name!

I did not then spend two hours cleaning the bathrooms the next day because they were so desperately in need of a scrub down. Of course I didn’t even finish the second bathroom and it’s floor isn’t still waiting for me clean it! Did I mention how my husband did not say the other day (before I cleaned) that the boy’s bathroom smelled like a boy’s bathroom! I did not say, unfortunately it’s your daughter’s bathroom too, poor Sissy!

Speaking of Sissy she is not home from school today because she was coughing all night! I would not have completely made her go (after she took some medicine of course) except that she asked her Daddy and she has him wrapped! I’m not that mean! Oh and did I mention that she’s NOT stopped coughing all day!

There is no way my brain has run out things for me to type, so I’m not throwing this picture in here just because I like it! april 024

Now go ahead and visit MckMama to read some more NMM’s (and she’s got a contest up today)!
