Arizona Cardinals



I am so happy for the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona fans have waited a long time for this. Win or lose today, I am still proud of them. I wouldn't support any other team but my home town team.

Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Family That Preys"


I watched Tyler Perry's movie "The Family that Preys" last night.
I really liked this movie! It is about life, the good and the bad. The choices people make and how they effect every one's life.
I can recommend all of Tyler Perry's movies! All are worth watching!
So go rent some movies and make a night of it! Don't forget the popcorn!

A Jump on Spring Cleaning



I am getting a jump on my spring cleaning. I figure since I am currently not working, I need to get busy cleaning. I have so much unused items in my home that I am donating! I took a car load off today. I have a small home and it is packed full. It is time to eliminate. I hope to do a little bit each day after I check out the want adds for a job.

2008 Book Reviews


I am feeling so much better after being sick for the last five days! Wow!

I went over the books I read this last year. Last January the first book I read was "Barefoot" by Erin Hilderbrand. This book is about two sisters and a friend who vacation on Nantucket struggling with life and health issues. It was a good entertaining book. A few tears and smiles. Over all a good book. I finish the year out with "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. I have to start out that I wasn't going to read this book. I didn't think I would like it because it is about Vampires and teens. But I have to say I was surprised I really did like it. It is a love story above everything else. And Stephenie Meyer lives in my home state of Arizona so I wanted to give her a chance.

For the year I have read a total of 66 books, which is short of my goal of 100, but still a lot of books.

A few of my favorite's from the year are:


"Murder In Brentwood" by Mark Furhman. This book went into a lot more than I remember hearing on TV. It was very interesting.


"Firefly Lane" by Kristin Hannah. This is my favorite for the year. It's about friendship and life. It is a tear jerker but such a good book.


"The Story of the Titanic as Told by its Survivors" by Jack Winocour. I have always been interested in the story of the Titanic. The first hand knowledge in this book was sobering!


"Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul: Stories About Life, Death and Overcoming the Loss of a Loved One" by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen. Short Stories that comfort. I read this one after my beautiful niece passed away suddenly from a seizure in July. The story of the dragonfly's was the one that stood out. I believe it was chapter 3.


And a few quick mentions to "The Hiding Place", "The Shack", "Twenty Wishes"

I read a lot of good books this past year and I am looking forward to reading a lot more. To 2009!
