We'll see -- still have a long way to go and this is a shopping day. I'm only home briefly.<BR/><BR/>4 books! That's plenty! Except, you know, I'll probably add a couple, today, now that I finished one and am on the verge of wrapping up another. :)<BR/><BR/>J. Kaye,<BR/><BR/>I'm not familiar with FeedDemon. I'll bet you've posted about it, though, and I'll find out. Right now, I think my GR has a backlog of something on the order of 600 posts. Between that storm and Christmas shopping, I haven't had much catch-up time. <BR/><BR/>One slice left! If you hurry, I'll split it with you. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-79257900973643308772008-12-10T13:54:00.000-06:002008-12-10T13:54:00.000-06:00LOL!

I think all Sundays should have some of that :)<BR/><BR/>I had heard of the Queen of the Road book but just knew it'd probably not be my kind of reading. Will look forward to your review to see if it confirms some of my thoughts. <BR/><BR/>I'm juggling four books now but am getting very tempted to throw in another.

We have enough for just one more slice. Oh, I'm going to be sorry to see that pie go!<BR/><BR/>As to the textbooks . . . you and me both. I'm a little on the ADD side (not diagnosed as such, since it wasn't really a recognized condition when we were kids; I was "hyper", though) and had to do a lot of pinching myself, walking around, taking copious notes to get through textbooks.

My little brother has ADD and I'd have to take him online and show him videos and try to make learning fun because he wasn't retaining anything from his book.

Still reading 7. I know, ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Fizzies are scented things that you stick in bathwater and . . . it's literal . . . they fizz until they're gone, scenting and coloring the bathwater in the process. They're also sometimes called bath bombs, but I like the name fizzy better.<BR/><BR/>Indigo,<BR/><BR/>It is one awesome pie. I think I'll have some for breakfast. <BR/><BR/>No, I haven't seen Waitress. I need to watch that one. Thanks for the reminder!<BR/><BR/>Kailana,<BR/><BR/>I wish we had a 2nd-hand bookstore. We used to have two of them and both closed around the same time. I do use Paperback Swap, though, and it gets me in plenty of trouble. Since I also donate to the library and give away a lot of books, I don't always come home with more, but . . . well, there are other ways they sneak into the house. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-8286971134924778232008-12-09T08:06:00.000-06:002008-12-09T08:06:00.000-06:00haha, yeah, but when they strike out I take them t...haha, yeah, but when they strike out I take them to the second hand store and come home with more books...

And, I thought about picking up an 8th book, today, because I'm <I>that bad</I>. Fortunately, I stopped myself. The recession thing . . . I don't know. I think it depends on where you live and what store's you're patronizing. Walmart is dying, here. That is soooo weird because Walmart is prety much <I>it</I>. But, the outlet stores were crowded, today. I went out and did my part to bolster the economy, see . . . <BR/><BR/>I love Enslaved by Ducks! I love Bob! I want to be Bob's friend. Not that I'd want him to live next door, but if he lived up the street a ways, I'd visit him and ask him to teach me all about his animals and I'm just certain we'd have a rollicking good time. And, Linda wouldn't mind a bit because I'd tell her how cool it is that she and the animals reformed him.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-22308633380001838972008-12-08T18:36:00.000-06:002008-12-08T18:36:00.000-06:00I LOVE strawberry-rhubarb pie!

Since I know I'm a moody reader, I'll give all my books a second chance. If they don't take on the second attempt, though, away they go. There's just not enough space to keep all those books, anymore. <BR/><BR/>Amy,<BR/><BR/>Well, naturally, I had to rush right off to check out LUSH, which I'd never heard of. Oh, dear. those look kind of wonderful!

I wonder if they ship overseas. <BR/><BR/>You can walk around the corner to get a strawberry rhubarb pie? Oooh, baby. I am turning green, here. It is really, really good. I make hubby fix my slices because he gives me small servings and I know I'd be a total pig and eat 1/4 of a pie at once, if I sliced it myself. <BR/><BR/>You're a gem, Kookie. Many, many thanks. :)<BR/><BR/>Trish,<BR/><BR/>I still remember Kansas City, and we moved away from Kansas when I was 2 years old, so I'll bet you have plenty of terrific memories. I'll check out your travel blog. Toronto is the coolest.
