More Randomness

A was Student of the week in her Class. She was excited to be the leader and I got to bring snacks for all the kids.

I missed going to the Momslikeme event ( Women in Work) for many reasons ...sick kids, and didn't want to abuse my friend babysitters that I use once in a while.

My lesson for Church is done and having a Board meeting after church. Woot Hoot.

I'm Hosting a Blog Event at my House about Family Safety through California Volunteers and will be discussing : The event would include several key speakers from California Volunteers including head Karen Baker( Not coming) and a CERT safety instructor to give you tangible information to prepare you in case of a disaster.

Talk about the our popular downloadable, customize-able Family Plan http://californiavolunteers.org/familyplan/plan.html as it helps teach kids (in a non-scary way) how to memorize what to do, telephone numbers, etc.

Oh New moon comes out that Friday Nov 20. Yes I have my Ticket to go to the show.


I have also scheduled all my kids Parent/Teacher conferences and its almost time to registrar K for Kindergarten.

I did do school pics of the kids, and I just need to have them printed up for Family.

That's whats happening here.

Love you to Death-- Book Review

It's been days since reporter Elise McBride has heard from her sister, Ashley. She's convinced Ashley has met with some kind of foul play, especially when she learns that bodies of other missing women have surfaced in and around Chicago--all victims of a brutal serial killer. Convinced her sister is still alive, Elise vows to risk everything to save her... The last thing ex-cop Trent Brady needs is more blood on his hands. Yet when he catches Elise breaking into her sister's house, full of reckless determination and fear, he knows she needs his help. But just as desire ignites between them, a twisted madman sets his sights on Elise. Hell-bent on possessing her for himself, this psychopath won't rest until he has his perfect woman.( Goodreads.com)

This was actually a decent romance book. There was just enough action and romance.

In this book the reader to get a glimpse into the mind of the killer. He has some serious issues. This book also centered around family and those issues there. There was alot of family interaction through out the story. This is a romantic suspense novel and this was one of the better ones I have read.

Elise-- sister to Ashley, reporter,

Ashley- victim, sister to Elise

Sam-- brother to Trent, owns his own grass cutting business

This book is already out in Paperback and $6.99.

MADD is Online

I have always heard about MADD while growing up. If you don't what it is...

Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

MADD has a new website called: www.thepowerofparents.org . This is a great site and I noticed that they have all age groups covered.

My parents were great examples to me while growing up and we did discuss drinking and driving. Because of the communication I had with my parents, I hope to instill open communication with my kids about all topics. You can find MADD online in these places.

Lone Star Legend-- Book Review

When Sandy Saavedra lands her dream job with the popular website ¡Latino Now!, she can't wait to write hard-hitting pieces to combat all those stupid Latino stereotypes. While visions of Pulitzers dance in her head, her editor in chief is suddenly laid off, replaced by the infamous Dolores Villanueva O'Sullivan. Dolores has one mission: make ¡Latino Now! an internet phenomenon, no matter how many pandering puff pieces she has to pack onto its pages. Sandy doesn't see how she can keep this job without losing her soul, especially when she's sent to Middle-of-Nowhere Texas to investigate the dumbest legend her people ever created, the Chupacabra. She fears she's about to fail an assignment-and lose her job-until she meets Tío Jaime, a grandfatherly hermit who might be crazy, or might be the best thing that ever happened to Sandy's career. ( Goodreads.com)

I loved this book. It has a study guide of questions to think about the story.

I could relate to this character because I blog and like to go visit those celeb site and see all the gossip.

This was a good book on what we put on the Internet for all to see, and how real are online as opposed to real life. I also liked how it showed the online relationships and real relationships throughout the book.This book I would pass along to friends and family.

This book was also about accomplishing your dreams. I also wanted to become a writer and I did High School newspaper.

This book comes out in Paperback in January 2010 .
