Fun with YA Books

I stumbled across this today, and had way too much fun building myself an army of boyfriends....meet Snake--my jock with a prison-past bf....

There are some other pretty fun little games Random House has--like the King Dork one has a Band name generator--My fake band is Flat Fontanas. Snake's is the Tall Picketers.

And the Bras and Broomsticks site will quiz you to find the perfect spell to change your life!

Mine was the Love Spell--which is odd because most of my answers seemed to involve my hair...and well, I already made Snake, so I'm kinda good on the whole Love thing--but here it is incase you need:

Love Potion

Ingredients:

½ cup grapeseed oil

¼ teaspoon

vanilla extract

1 cinnamon stick(Add two pinches of loose body glitter for extra romance!)

Mix the grapeseed oils and vanilla (and glitter, if you choose) with the cinnamon stick for about 2 minutes.

Repeat this spell over the bowl: "Love like the sun, gentle like the moon,romance abounds, one month until noon"

Pour the potion into a bottle. Apply a dab on both wrists and kneecaps. Relax and wait for the magic of love to take effect.

So 3 great YA book and 3 great time sucks... Enjoy!

All I want for Christmas...

What is Brooke wishing for this Christmas? I'll give you a hint--she's wagging her tail. That's right, I'm adding another pup to the family. She's an 8 month old Akita named Phoenix and I'm going to go pick her up this weekend. She's already spoiled rotten--since she is kennel trained and I'm not much of a kennel person--I bought her a Hardwood Hideaway--which is basically a nice piece of furnature that looks great in the house but is really a kennel for you pet. Much more attractive than a wire cage. I've also already gotten her some toys, too. I'm a sucker.

Is anyone else getting anything special this year?

One super cute cookie jar: $20 (Now $10 at Bath & Body Works)

Ingredients for yummy Forgotten Cookies--substitute Nestle Holiday Chips: $10

Priority Shipping of super cute cookie jar filled with yummy Forgotten Cookies to Agent: $5

Getting the email that contents had shifted during shipping and said yummy cookies had disintegrated into a pile of (wonderful agent assures me) still-yummy cookie powder: Priceless


It is almost so embarrassing as to be funny. Here are some better ideas for presents that will not disintegrate in the care of the USPS...



For young boys on your list:

For Girls:
And yes, there's is even one now for Dogs!

Snow Daze

We've been hit hard by an ice storm--and school's are out--mostly due to power outtages and such. So here at the admin building, we still have to come in but at least we get to wear jeans! Anyway--it is still fun for me to watch the scrolling list of schools like I did when I was a kid--fingers crossed and hoping for a snow day. As you can see--doggies love snow daze too! (These were taken a few years back.)
