CedarWood's Class of 2007. Graduates always have huge DREAMS after graduating. My prayers are that all their DREAMS come true (Nick, Dain, Lucille and Maria DREAM big!!)
This is going to be fun! I have challenged myself to read the13 books on this list this Fall. I have been wanting to read some of these books for months, others are because I adore the author and there is one that is pure fun (teeeheehehehe...i will enjoy that one during my bubble baths). The challenge started on the 23rd of this month and will end on December 21st! Boy!!! I already have something special to buy if I do this (teeeehehehehe...is it possible to bribe yourself???). If you are interested please come join the fun and we can talk about the great books we will be reading! 
| 2 Peas Today's Challenge~ What do you do to calm yourself down when your very upset or stressed out? Listening to music (country or soft rock) will help to calm me down (if i am on the verge of road rage!!!). If i am in a store, counting helps! At work it helps to move to something else for a while or walk away from the situation (these always help!!). At home...well yelling ALWAYS relieves my stress but I have learned that is not healthy for the family or the pets (teeehehehehe) so....watching tv, scrapping, reading a magazine and music can help me out! Now.. i have to tell you any and all of these things can work when i am feeling great and i have life by the huevos! If that is not the case there are ONLY 4 things that will help (please be warned these are not healthy or encouraged). COKE  CHOCOLATE SHOPPING ***x-rated*** No  w...i have been known to do 3 of those things at once if the stress was real bad...the 4th....well if I could discover a way to add that to the mix i think i would have discovered paradise....teeeehehehehe! | |

My hunny bunny...
This week's questions were created by Gillian, wannabe snoop and secret-monger.
1. Which do you think reveals more about a person, the contents of their refrigerator or the contents of their purse? That depends...are we talking about a woman or a man??? teeehehehe. I think what is in the refrigerator reveals more about a person.
2. When you visit someones home, what are you most interested in looking at? The was they have decorated their home!!!!
3. If you could make it so that one person on earth was physically incapable of telling lies or keeping secrets, celebrities & politicians included, who would you choose? Ohhhh...this is good, kind of like do i choose to open Pandora's box???!!? hmmmm...if I were honest I would not want anyone "forced" to tell me the truth or reveal secrets. It would be my hope that everyone i truly care about is honest with me if not....well i guess i would rather not know (it's called trust).
4. Have you ever spilled the beans on someone else's secret? If so, what was it? Yes...it was 100% a pure accident! *red faced* i would rather not say...
5. Have you ever kept a diary? If so, was it top secret? What did you write about? Yes, when i was younger. Of course it was top secret!!! I mean isn't that what diaries are for!!?!! I wrote about crushes and girls who were mean and ugly (in reality they were ok but the boys i liked liked them so to me they were ugly!!!) teeeeeehehehe...childhood!
