feliz birthdayo

It is Irene's 4th birthday today.  

So far she is still cute so that is good.  

I suspect that one of these birthday we will wake up to realize she is all arms and legs and very klutzy like her mom.  

But for now she is still cute---so we celebrate.

How far would you go to lose weight?

Would you allow yourself to be put into a medically induced coma if you don't have the willpower to lose the weight yourself?

I was asked to review a book written by Rivka Tadjer. The novel, named Two Weeks Under, is in one part, about the tantalizing subject of drastic weight loss measures.

Honestly, I started the book believing that it would be about a simple subject of blurred ethics----I quickly realized that this was not the case. Before I had gotten far into the book, I found myself steeped in mystery and drama that didn't let up until I read the last paragraph. An especial treat was the dual personality Doctor---a character so equally intriguing and repulsive at the same time.

For a little more insight...I suggest reading the idea behind the book. That alone makes for interesting reading and shows the author's ability to pull you into a story.

Available for purchase through amazon.

my hero

I read on a blog somewhere (can't give credit--don't remember which, sorry) where the woman asked her husband which actress he found more attractive: Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie. She hoped he would choose girl next door Aniston as opposed to husband stealer Jolie and sure enough he did.

Sweet, huh?

I thought it would be a brilliant idea to ask my own husband---not that I need any extra proof of his marital perfection---but I asked any way.

"Who do you prefer...Aniston or Jolie?"

His answer....?

"Can't I have both?"

Ahhhh...be still my beating heart.

....and yes...those were the most unattractive
pictures I could find of the ladies in question.

...he does, after all, read this blog...

Hi Edgard.

...he he he.
