I have never done a book review and this is ONLY my opinion, which doesn't matter, so, here it goes.....
Back in 2008 I was dragged to the movies by my daughter Chaye and my friend Jill to go see "Twilight". I wasn't interested in the movie but had nothing else to do that night so I went with them.
Lets just say I was instantly hooked. Apparently there was not enough fantasy in my real life and I suddenly wanted a 90 year old Vampire boyfriend.
The next day at work I went online to Amazon and ordered all four books in the Twilight series.
You can ask me anything Twilight related and I will have the answer you are looking for. I have read them all twice and now have a small library of any Twilight related book. Sad but true.
I know they were written for a teen generation but I still enjoy the story.
Now jump into 2012 when another friend of mine insists I read "50 Shades of Grey".
"Its like Twilight porn for Moms!" She tells me.
So I finally read them, there are three books in this story line of Christian Grey who I'm guessing is supposed to be the human version of Edward Cullen.... in a way.
The story line itself was ok but I got really really really tired of Anastasias Inner Goddess lines. It made the story less enjoyable and was redundant. It also seemed that as soon as she lost her virginity to Christian she copped an attitude about everything.
Plus there were alot of pissed off people and that gets old fast too.
So, if your a sex starved woman wanting to read about Dominatrix sex than you will loooove 50 Shades.
If you like romance and promises of forever then I suggest Twilight which as we all know has Vampires and Wolves but no alcohol or sex.
Either way its up to you.

I suppose I should come out more often and let ya know whats going on in my life, but there really hasnt been a whole lot to tell.
Lets see.......Last night it was pouring rain and around midnight we heard a firetruck coming up the road so Randy scrambled to get out of bed to see what was going on and got tangled up in the blankets so bad I thought he was gonna fall onto the floor head first. He got dressed and went outside to check it out.
In the meantime I'm running around in the dark trying to find my shoes and finally just grabbed my rainboots which are black with red lip kisses all over them. Very tacky but I luv them.
I decided I didnt have time to get dressed as I might miss something tragic going on so I ran outside wearing a flimsy wife beater shirt, no bra, my pajama shorts and my trusty rain boots, I looked fabulous.
Sadly the neighbors didnt get to see my attire because Randy was coming back up the driveway and started laughing when he saw me and said there was nothing happening except for an elderly neighbor who had fallen and couldnt get back up.
Once back in bed I couldnt sleep so I decided to watch one of my favorite shows that I found about a week ago on Netflix called "Trailer Park Boys".
It is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It takes place in Nova Scotia and ran for 7 seasons. They have also done two movies and began shooting their third one this month....I CAN'T WAIT!!
Anyways, if you get the chance please watch it. You wont be disappointed, its about life in a trailer park and every character in it is funny. Its mainly about three grown up friends-Julian, Ricky and Bubbles and the blunders they get themselves into. Google the show if you want some cheering up. =)

Whoa Dude....
This past Saturday we went on our annual Christmas tree cutting adventure.
Left the house at 7 am and headed for the mountains, which are only fifteen minutes away from my house.
Sadly there was no snow this year but at 7:30 am let me tell ya it was FREEZING out there in the forest!
Forgot my gloves so my hand were frozen with in minutes, tried to climb up the side of a mountain and slipped on some ice and banged up my knee, total road rash. Hasn't looked like that since I fell off a skateboard when I was eleven.
We found the perfect trees within five minutes which never happens, usually we are booney rompin around the mountains for half the day looking for the perfect tree. We cut them down, loaded them onto the truck and headed back home.
The nice thing about going super early in the morning is that there are no Idiots up there yet in their city cars thinking they can go where the 4 wheelers do.
One year we watched the Forestry Department help a city slicker down an iced over snow packed mountain road in his BMW! What was he thinking? Was he really gonna chop down a tree and tie to the top of his car?
On the way home we passed at least 20 people in their trucks going up to cut their tree. We got to the first town and I made my brother David stop the truck so I could take a picture of the Pot Plant growing right in front of the Stirling City Hotel.
What do you think of that?? =D

This October has been a sad one for the town I live in. We lost 2 wonderful teenagers in a car accident the weekend before Halloween. Dustin Lyle and Bille Oliver.
Bille was a popular girl at the highschool. Dustin was very well known and someone my daughter knew since kindergarten. I've known his Dad for almost 30 years.
Its hard to make sense of it all. That same night my sons lost a friend Tyler Wolfe to a race car accident in a different town.
You could feel the loss and sadness in the air as you went about your daily business in the days that followed.
Yet somehow this small town I live in rose above the tragedy and pulled together to do amazing things. The next weekend there was a benefit car wash, a restaurant "Casa De Paradisio" donated 20% of their earnings on a particular day and "Dutch Brothers" coffee donated 50% of all their earnings that weekend to the families involved, the drive thru coffee shop was lined with cars all the way out to the street that weekend.
There were also other groups and businesses that made donations as well.
I must say I am very very happy to live in such a loving community.
God Bless you Dustin, Bille and Tyler. May you rest in peace.

Time to buy a new car???
Just paid almost 600 bucks to get my car registered & another 3 hundred to the nice mechanic who had the car almost a year now because I'm a flake & didnt save up my money like I should have been.
Drove it home from the shop which is about 6 blocks away, pulled into the driveway & the right front tire area starts smoking like an old lady on oxygen playing the slots in Reno.
So I stood there for about 20 minutes watching it & hoping it did not get worse, holding my cell phone just in case I needed to call the firemen. It finally stopped & now I'm afraid to drive it anywhere.
I just want a new car that will take me places with no worries, I'm not sure mine will even make it to the grocery store now.
Perhaps its about time to look into buying a newer car. I just hate the thought of monthly payments plus full coverage insurance. If I do that then I wont have any money left to go anywhere in it.
But at least it will run! =D

SNUB!!!! >=(
Well they did it again, the Oscars snubbed Leo. What does this guy have to do? Get his face plastered all over the rag mags like Brad & Clooney & have his private life exposed in order to get nominated?
I wonder how the Oscars decide their choices. Sometimes it makes no sense to me.
I would like to see Leo win, its on my bucket list. The guy really is an amazing actor. (Better than some that were nominated in my humble opinion)
Yes I will be in the theater this April to see the anniversary of the Titanic, I was really surprised to hear how many people plan on going to see it again on the 100th Anniversary of the sinking.
This time I'm not dragging all my friends, instead I'm taking my 16 year old daughter. She was 2 when the movie first came out & is looking forward to finally seeing it on the big screen.
Sorry you werent nominated this year Leo, you truly did deserve a nod.

Oh Christmas Tree.....
Went on our annual "Cut a Xmas Tree Run". Left at 9 a.m. Took the truck 4 wheeling up to the Forestry Department that is in the middle of nowhere in the woods. Got our permit and drove even further into the mountains, Found the perfect tree and the chainsaw wouldnt work. Drove another 40 miles to the nearest lil mountain town and overpaid for a bowsaw. Drove another 15 miles up north almost to Mt. Lassen til we found another perfect tree and chopped it to its death. Drove back thru the mountains and finally got home at 5:30 p.m.
Cost of permit $10, cost of gas $50, cost of Bowsaw $20 cost of lunch and snacks and sodas $35. Cost of tree at a tree lot $25!!
Well I know where I'm getting my tree next year.......
Heres a pic of our trip, see the unknowing look on Randys face, notice the ginormous snowball in my left hand, muahahah
