Challange 11 - What's on your bedside table?

What are you reading at the moment? What book can you not put down or just can't finish? Are you drawn to certain authors, genres or just what's in the bargain bin? Do you get books from a book exchange, library or are you beating the doors down at Dymocks on release day? Write all about the last book you read or the one you're reading/struggling to read!

Well I'm a bit of a bookworm so I always have several books on the go. I love all sorts but at the moment I'm loving re-reading the Harry Potters'. Nearly finished number 6 "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". Can I just say how brilliant those books are? They draw you in and you just want to keep reading.

Other than that I'm working my way through Pride & Prejudice and Emma by the wonderful Jane Austen. Honestly, its taking me a while because I have to be in the right mood for olde english language - if you know what I mean.

Also, still trying to work my way through Lord of the Flies for english. I really hate it. The only reason I'm reading it is for class, definetly not by choice. So that one is taking me a loooooonnnnggg time.

My secret book obsession is corny christian romance novels. I have two boxes of them now and I pretty much adore them and all of their corniness. It's probably lame but there's nothing I can do about that. I pick them up for $10 for 10 at Koorong and read them whenever I feel the need.

"I have a little recipe that isn't hard to make

But you must always start as soon as you awake.
Take a great big mixing bowl and fill it with a smile
Mix half a cup of sunshine with good deeds to last a while.
Add a pinch of work and play, a pinch of thoughtfulness and care
But don't bake it in the oven, just spread it around everywhere."

Ok, so it's a little corny but we all need a bit of silly sometimes! Challenge 10 at Blog This is to list the ingredients for your perfect day. What's your surefire receipe for a wonderful day?

My Perfect Day

1. Grab a good sleep in and place it in a bowl
2. Add a good quantity of lovely sunshine
3. Take some good friends and mix them in (family is a good substitute for friends, if friends are not in season)
4. Take a Grande Starbucks Frappacino and add it to the bowl
5. Some Mcleods Daughters (or Gilmore Girls) should be added around now
6. Don't forget some good music - it is very important to make this day perfect
7. Finally, an afternoon sun-shower followed by some dancing in the rain and jumping in puddles.

All in all, the perfect day.

blog this challenge

Bought something fabulous lately? Wanna share? Wanna brag? Blog some pictures, write a sonnet about it, tell the story about how you got it in the house without your husband noticing. What made you buy it? Have you been secretly coveting it for a while? Or are you an impulse shopper. And of course, now you have it, was it worth it??

Okay so due to the fact that I don't have a job (sorry but school takes priority right now) and only recieve $12 a week for pocket money, most things I buy are paid for with my mother's debit card. However, on Monday I splurged a little and bought a new movie! Yes, I am a movie fan. I love this movie. If you are a chick flick fan and havn't seen this I suggest you go and hire it or even buy it! It follows the romantic tales of William Hayes (Ryan Reynolds - another reason to watch it. He is quite good looking) as he recounts his loves and losses to his daughter. For more information on this lovely movie go to imdb.

Seriously, worth the watch. Oh oh and.... I got it on sale for $13. Yay!

First post / blog this challenge

So what better way to start off my blog than to complete this weeks blog this challenge:

Tell us fifteen facinating, far fetched, frightening, funny or frivilous facts about yourself. Those bits of trivia that are floating around in your life.

1. I have seven wisdom teeth. Don't ask me how this works I was just told by my dentist that I'm a freak. Yep, he used those exact words.
2. I hardly ever bruise. I have to be hit really really hard for any colour to appear on my skin at all.
3. While my hair looks like I regularly bleach it, it has never been dyed. The colour of my hair is exactly the same as the the day I was born. I pride myself on that fact.
4. I have 27 first cousins.
5. I graduate from high school in exactly 4 months, 2 weeks and 2 days!
6. I have lost about 14 kg since I got my braces. Where it all came from I have no idea.
7. I love Starbucks. So much.
8. I have seen every episode of Gilmore Girls.
9. I am slightly obsessed with cows. I love everything about them: their look, their taste etc. In fact, I own a fair bit of cow paraphernalia.
10. I don't eat chicken.
11.I talk to my pet fish. Every morning and night. I think they like it.
12. I have never broken a bone.
13. I rub my feet together when I'm going to sleep. My sister says it's really annoying because apparently it rustles my sheets.
14. I've planned my whole wedding and I've never even had a boyfriend.
15. I make up chords on the guitar when I write songs. It bugs my music teacher because he has to figure out what they are.
