Accident prone

Seriously, how accident prone can one person be? Do you think someone is just naturally clumsy or is it fate that accidents happen?

Well, this weekend I managed:

**To fall getting out of my bathtub. Now this was no ordinary fall. I fell so well that my
leg landed on the tub. I now have a lovely black and blue and purple bruise from the middle
of my thigh to the middle of my calf on the back of my leg **

**I tripped walking past my elliptical machine. I was leaving the house and some how my leg
caught the edge of the machine scratching my leg and nearly banging my head into the door**

**Walking into my bathroom, which is carpeted, I slightly walk on a magazine and I start
sliding across the floor and land on my butt **

**Walking into my laundry area, I step on a curtain rod. You know the cheap ones that have
the curved ends. My middle toe on my left foot lands right in the curve and slices the toe from
top to bottom. I can barely walk now. **

So, am I accident prone or is fate trying to tell me something? What can it possibly be trying
to tell me? Tell me to get rid of everything in my house before it kills me??

Sadness in blogworld

Tragically a fellow blogger has lost his son in a swimming accident. His beloved son was
only 5 years old. He was lovingly nicknamed the Puppy Monster.

Hopefully the blogworld can send love and prayers to Dawg and his family in this time
of need. If you click on the heart below, you will be taken to Dawg's blog where he has
some wonderful You Tube video's of his son and himself on "Cereal Wednesday's".


My thoughts and prayers are with Dawg and his family. Please keep them in yours.

Summer Reading

Well, I love books. I have been actively reading books since about 1st grade. I have not had much time over the last few years to read, but lately I have been taking more of an active role to pick this hobby back up. I have missed it.

Well, let me tell you, I have just read one of the BEST books ever!! Seriously, I read it in less than 2 days because I could not put the book down. It is called My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

Wow. I seriously was crying for an hour after finishing this book. It really tore at your heart strings. It is a book that pertains to a controversial topic. It goes way past stem cell research,
into what can you expect your other children to do to benefit one. This family had been dealt
with a hardship, their daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of lukemia. Their older son was not a match for bone marrow so they decided to have a baby. But this wasn't an ordinary baby. This baby was engineered in a genetic lab to be a perfect match for the daughter. Fast forward 13 years later and that daughter is suppose to be used to donate a kidney to her sister. Here is where it gets controversial. Who has the power to consent to this surgery? The parents or the child? What if the child doesn't want to do it? What if the parent can't possibly let the chance slip away to help the other child to live, even if it meant going against the child's wishes? The daughter decided to take her parents to court to get medical emancipation for this very reason.

This book was so eloquently written that it never lost my interest. It was a very easy read, very easy to get into. It had a great aspect by different chapters being by the different characters of the story. It was told from each of their point's of view.

I strongly urge you to pick up this book. It was truly a wonderful book.

Picture Day

Well, since I apparently have nothing to say anymore, I will post some pictures from the
Chuck E Cheese party we had for Kaleb and Becca at the beginning of last month. :-)
