It's been forever since my last blog post.  Mainly because I was super sick.  Not sick as in Oh-I-Need-Another-Cough-Drop-Yippee-I-Can-Catch-Up-On-All-My-Reality-TV-Shows sick but sick as in In-Bed-All-Day-With-103degree-Fevers-For-An-Entire-Week.  But I'm all better and since I'm not an octogenarian I will stop talking about my ailments and move on to other, more lovely, topics.

It's been raining here in Santa Barbara and that means it's snail time.  Well, at least in my neighborhood.  The giant snails of prehistoric times flood out of nowhere and bejewel the sidewalks with their tiny iridescent shells.  It's kinda hilarious actually because when I walk the dogs, their paws unknowingly kick the snails and they slide, bump and skid all over the sidewalk.  A friend of mine did a house swap with a family from another country a few years ago and the foreign family was so excited by all of the fabulous escargot they found for free in the yard.  I'll let you take a guess on where the family was from.

So, on to less disgusting topics.  Y'all know I read like a fiend so I wanted to share the last 3 books I read this past week.  Some good, some OK.

UM, hilarious!   Funny writer, as well as an excellent writer, who manages to laugh at herself during some not-so-happy situations in her life.  Highly recommend this memoir!

This one bummed me out.  I will say it was well written but I'm not really a fan of this memoir or infidelity stories in general.  I would still recommend it, though.

If you liked loved Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon you will probably like love this book because they're pretty much the same.  Obviously there are subtle differences, but very similar.  Easy read, good story.

Alrighty then folks, I'm signing off.  Happy Wednesday!  :)
