World Peace

Who knew that surfing could bring reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians?

I don't like to get caught up in shows with a lot of hype. But when I figure out why they have the hype I regret my decision to avoid the bandwagon. This is one of those shows. The best part is that now I just like speaking in CIA lingo. Everyone will have a call name by the time I am done with all 5 seasons.

My latest trip to the Abilene Public Library

I am sure that people make fun of me all the time for how much of my conversations include something about the public library. That's okay because I am becoming smarter and cooler by the minute thanks the APL(that's the insider lingo). I thought I would share my current list of check-outs with everyone with star ratings up to five being highly recommended.

1.green this! by deirdre imus. I will probably have to buy this book because this will be something that I will need for a reference regularly. It talks about the dangers of cleaning and household products and extremely affordable and natural alternatives. I give it *****.

2.Juice Alive by Steven Bailey and Larry Trivieri. My parents gave me their juicer recently and so I needed to figure out some recipes. This is one that will be useful but not as enjoyable at first. Not a big carrot and beet juice fan but I'll give it a try.****

3.Three birthday party idea books that were all worthless. No stars given.

4.The Puppini Sisters (CD)Betcha Bottom Dollar. I always liked the Andrew Sisters and this is kind of an updated version.****

5.Third Day (CD)Chronology. I don't love,love Third Day but some of the songs are too good to not like.***

6.Barlow Girl (CD)Another Journal Entry. I liked this more than I thought I would. I am thinking that this is a keeper. ****

7.Maroon 5 (CD)It won't be soon before too long. I don't really like Adam Levine.***

8.Stevie Nicks (CD)Cyrstal Visions..The very best of. Landslide is one of my favorite songs ever but I like her better with Fleetwood Mac.***

9.Ludacris (CD)Release Therapy. Oh my little ears need the radio edit versions. Or no more moneymaker-shakin' Luda.*

10.Vince Gill (CD)The Reason Why. With all the great guest vocalists, this is pretty good country music.****

11.Bruce Springsteen (CD)Magic. I'll work for your love is a good song. It sounds like Bruce to me.****

12.Mark Schultz (CD)Broken and Beautiful. There were a couple of good songs.***

13.Nichole Nordeman (CD)recollections The Best of...****

14.Disney Sing Along Songs (DVD)Perfectly Princess. Lucy gives it *****

15.Nature Baby - not yet reviewed by Mr. Owen.

16.The Illusionist (DVD) will watch by Saturday.

17.A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (DVD) Kevin is watching this as I type.*****

18.Some Angelina Ballerina Movie.*****

19.A couple of Baby Einsteins*****(I'm getting tired of typing)

If you are not using the resource of the public library, you are missing out. I sit in my house and reserve everything on line and then they send me an email to tell me when it is in. It's easy and free.
