Your Summer Ride is a Beetle Convertible

Fun, funky, and a little bit euro.You love your summers to be full of style and sun!

What's" Your Summer Ride?

Dog Sitting 101

well, if you don't like having dogs follow you everywhere, and watch you use the bathroom, and bathe, and sniff you in every place (even places you would never imagine) and lick you and all that -- do not agree to dogsit!!

the dogs are great - cute & playful & needy (LOL) - the turtles are fun & the fish are fish...it gets kind of boring, and i am a pretty talkative person, so it is quiet :( and i don't like that part too much...

but so far so good (i haven't gone to clean up poop since i got here, i am avoiding it as much as possible!!)

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

OMG!!!!! i LOVE this book! it is my favorite!!

i will not post any spoilers, but this book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made my hands shake!!!

my predictions were spot on, so i am happy :)

my pal (renee) and i went to borders for their grand hallows ball and to get our books at midnight -- after i drove "home" i read until 2 AM, then fell asleep until about 7:30 AM (the dogs woke me), read a chapter, fell asleep again for about an hour, then read the rest of the book -- i was done by 3:30 PM central time!!
