Wherein Joely Feeds My Book Addiction

I won!  Not only will I be receiving a copy of Joely Sue Burkhart's Yours To Take, I was also lucky enough to receive a $25 Amazon gift card.  I will be positing a review of Joely's book at a later date, but I thought I'd share with her, and you, the new titles I've added to my library thanks to her astounding generosity.

Tales of the Greek Heroes
This image links to the paperback version because I couldn't find the Kindle format on Goodreads, but I did, in fact, buy the Kindle version.

I love mythology and thought this would make a nice addition to my research shelf.  It probably won't be something I read straight through.  Unless, of course, I just can't help myself.

Gothic Tales

This was on my wishlist.  I don't remember why.  I imagine it has something to do with either a literature class I was enrolled in at some point or it could have been a recommendation from a writing conference.  I tend to make lists of books in both settings, so either scenario is possible.

I really don't know a lot about Elizabeth Gaskell other than she apparently wrote Gothic literature during the Victorian era.


Tales of Ancient Egypt (Puffin Classics)

Ah, Ancient Egypt.  My love affair continues.  This one, too, will be added to my research shelf.

Looking for Willing Victims

I've decided I'd like to expand my photography skills and experience. This means I need willing models. So far I've got a couple of people who might be willing to let me practice on them. I'm excited but nervous. I want so badly to take amazing pictures and give them each something they like. Shoot #1: Mom wants me to take Christmas pictures of her three daughters. I'm very excited, but I also want a lovely background. I was thinking of taking them to a park or some other such setting where there's a lot of pines. The problem is that Fall has just arrived and these are supposed to be Christmas pictures. Any suggestions? Shoot #2: A senior. I think I'm okay on this one. She wants fall colors in her pictures, so I just need to wait for the trees to do their thing. Then its a matter of finding the right location. Now here's my real delimna: Where do I upload them so they can be printed to look like professional pictures? Rounded corners and im...

Poor Little Doggie

The dog and I both had dentist appointments yesterday for teeth cleanings.  While my appointment turned up a crack in a couple of old cavities, one of which will require a crown (ouch!), I was at least able to walk out of my appointment without feeling miserable.  Not so for this little fella.. Cash's cleaning turned into a tooth-pulling frenzy.  He lost a total of fifteen (15!!) teeth yesterday.  The rot was so advanced in some of the teeth that an infection had spread throughout his little mouth and into his blood stream.  If we wouldn't have taken him in to the vet for this cleaning, we may have lost him.  According to the vet, the infection would have eventually worked its way to his heart and given him a heart attack. For the next five days he's on a liquid only diet of chicken noodle soup and water; he is not happy about this decision and is convinced he's starving to death.  There is a lot of whining and pacing back in forth in front o...

They saved the finger..

This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend.  One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time.  We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping.  And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's.  Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic.  Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city.  The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket.  Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now?  That he's wearing size 29?  My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's ...
