Maria Snyder: Poison Study

I loved this book, no really I LOVED this book!!!
About to be executed Yelena is offered to work for the Commander as his food taster. She will be able to taste the best food and have her own room. But she has to risk being being killed by anyone trying to assassinate the Commander. The chief of security, Valek, also isn't taking chances with her and deliberatly feeds her a poison known as Butterfly's Dust to ensure she won't try to escape. She must show up everyday for the antidote to the poison in her system or it will slowly kill her if she doesn't. As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can't control. This book is AM. AZ. ING. There is also book two: Magic Study and book three: Fire Study. I can't wait to start Magic Study. Please give this book a chance. You will not regret it!!!

Slacker...

I've been neglecting my blog:( So sad. Things have been crazy busy. Gearing up for the New Moon Experience in November. Going to be so much fun! I entered my photos into the fair. I didn't win anything, but you know what, IT'S ALL GOOD! I at least got them out there. My aunt's photo got an honorable mention. Good for her! Kids are in school, Scott is working his crazy 6pm-6am shift. Excited that Halloween is right around the corner:) I'm sure I will have some cool stuff to update the blog with soon. Oh and I did also finish the second book of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I'm not sure if I like them. I decided I would hold off on the third book until after I have finish Maria Snyder's Poison Study. That book ROCKS! Anyway, I hope that the blogger world is doing well:) Catch ya on the flip side:)

Okay, cause I'm such a Twilight Geek! I had to take a photo of this...I couldn't help myself! haha.

Photos from Sunday 08-23-2009

My Aunt and I went to downtown Salt Lake and took some AWESOME photos of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the First Presbyterian Church and Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Here are a few of the photos. I will try and post them all on Facebook tonight when I get home:) The tree in one of the photos was struck by lightning. It was pretty cool looking. Let me know what you think please:)

Side note to the post below

I'm going to be heading downtown this weekend to take some photos of architecture and stuff. So I might be posting a few more for some opinionage:)

Some opinions are needed

I'm thinking about entering some photos in the Utah State Fair. I need some opinions though so PLEASE COMMENT...pretty please with sugar on top. I'm thinking about entering these two photos. Let me know what you think.

Charlaine Harris: Dead until Dark

I LOVE True Blood and after much thought decided I would give the Sookie Stackhouse Series a chance. Dead Until Dark follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid who lives in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie is special, she can read people's minds...it's more like hearing people's thoughts. She is working one night at Merlotte's when Bill Compton enters the bar. Bill is a vampire (que the drama music!). Vampires have officially come out of the coffin so to speak. Sookie's parents were killed when she was a little girl so she went to live with her Gran and has a brother named Jason (he is a bit of a man whore.). After Sookie meets Bill mysterious things start to happen in Bon Temps. Someone is killing women who like to hang out with vampires and in the vampire bars. There is a string of interesting characters in this book. Arlene (a friend of Sookies that works with her at Merlottes), Sam (the owner of Merlottes who has a secret of his own), Andy Bellfleur (works for the local Police Department), and many, many more! If you haven't seen the True Blook READ THE BOOKS FIRST! I really truly wish I would have read the books before watching True Blood!!! The book is a bit boring, especially since I've ruined it and watched the TV Series first. Check it out anyway! You might really like it:) Let me know what you think!

Etsy Store: Amy305

My friend Cassie recommended Amy's etsy store to me. So I stared browsing (DANGEROUS!) Amy's store. She makes the CUTEST stuff ever! I bought this bag (called Forbidden Love Tote) a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT! It's so durable and cute. She has a bunch of cute Twilight themed bags (and for those that despise Twilight she has other bags as well). She makes all sorts of cute things. She is resonably priced and the shipping isn't bad at all. Check her out at:

I LOVE PARAMORE!

I'm so super excited for their new album to come out Brand New Eyes. I love this song. The lyrics are great. It really describes ALOT of people and things going on right now for me.

Tagged: What Makes Me Happy

I have been tagged by Melanie, here are the rules:
1. Mention and link back to the person who tagged you.

2. List 6 little things that make you happy.

3. Tag 6 other bloggers and let them know "they're it"!

1. The first thing that makes me happy is a nice bowl of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream:)

2. Another thing that makes me happy is my family. They drive me crazy, but at the end of the day they are the ones that I go home to and they make me happy:) Especially my Scottward:)

3. My creatures make me happy. I've had Aries since high school though and she is getting pretty old (She will be 14 in Dec). I'm really afraid to lose her, but I know she has led a good life. Nakai is a nutcase black lab:) Beau is just a big fat white kitty that thinks he is a dog. Blue is a bit standofish, but she can be affectionate. Emmett is a cute little grey kitty that just found us not that long ago:) I'll see if I can get some photos up of him soon.

4. Being outside with nature makes me really happy! I wish we lived by the ocean because I NEED water, but I'll do with lakes:)

5. Just being makes me happy. Knowing that I have the things that I have because I've worked hard for them and being grateful that I've accomplished the things that I have.

6. I wouldn't be a Crazy Twilight Whore (Famous words by my Friend Avalon) if I didn't mention that Twilight or anything related to Twilight makes me happy. I've met some AMAZING people because of this book and it is something to be happy about:)

I tag whoever feels the need to do this survey:) Have some downtime?? GO FOR IT:)

Some photos I took:)

Here are some photos I took while we went camping this weekend. The butterfly photo was taken at home today when we got back:)
