Haven't had much to say lately. Haven't had much going on either.  
Ryan was home for 2 weeks!  Now he's off again.  For a lot of the month (April). 
Miles had a really bad medical scare for us, but all is well. Thank God!
I'm becoming obsessed with a new book trilogy.  The Hunger Games.  I know I know...EVERYONE has read them already. I'm behind the times, just like I was with Twilight.  Best part of all, I got the first book at  Half Price Books. After I started reading it, I asked a friend of mine who is a Young adult writer, "Is the writer British?  There's a bunch of extra "n's" and "e's" on words.  She told me no. That the writer was American.  Hmmmm....well..then further into the book there's a lot of talk of distance and whatnot. It was all metric.  Ha ha..so she asked if I had purchased the British version.  I flipped the book over and sure as shit...the cost.  £6.99.  Damnit to Reading AND Math at the same time.  Cause you know I was converting that business.
Yeah..so British.  Ha ha..then when I finished the book, I decided I liked it enough to get the 2nd and 3rd.  But then I went on Amazon to get the British versions, I don't want to have discrepancies, and the trilogy was $295.00.  EEEEEGADS!!!!!!  Needless to say, I have discrepancies.  I purchased the American versions for $7.95 each.  Annoying.  I hate that.  Just like I hate that the first book I have is paperback and the other two are hardcover.  And that happend to me with the Twilight series too. It sucks. I have a bit of OCD when it comes to book series.  I like to have all the same kind of cover.  Sickness?  Of course it is. One of my many quirks.
But truly. Not much going on these days.  I could tell you about the heartburn I keep getting...but that's just annoying and gross.
LOVE our half price book store! Never bought any British books there before that I know of...
