~What I Need~

                 
                       *Orange Chairs in Library by Jeff Condon*

This, is what I need.  I need my own personal library for all the books that I have started to collect and read.  I need a room, with at least two bookcases that go from the floor to the ceiling, so I can fill them with the books that I have read and the ones that I'm going to read in the future!!

Derek has said that he doesn't want bookcases in the front room, which is a bummer.  Because I think two really pretty, tall bookcases would look great on a bare wall that we have.  But I guess I'll have to apease him and find one that will go in our den/office once my parents move out.  Until then, I'll keep stacking up the books all over the house so that he might finally break down and tell me I can have one in our frontroom!!

Am I horrible or what?  Oh well, he drives me crazy... Can't I drive him crazy??

I finished all the books that I picked up a month or so ago.  I read, "Star" by Pamela Anderson, "The Notebook" and "Good in Bed".  So, I got online yesterday at Amazon.com, after all the great ideas that everyone gave me, and ordered myself two new books.  I decided to stay with an author that I know I like and ordered two books by Jennifer Weiner.  So, in a few days I should be getting "In Her Shoes" and "Little Earthquakes".  Hopefully those will keep me occupied until July 16/17th when I get "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".  Hehe.  I'm like a little child on Christmas morning.  I can't wait!

Poor Miss Rowan had a hard time going down for the evening last night.  She was put to bed (in her room!!) at 915 last night.  Well, when I went to bed at 10pm, she was still awake.  Oh, I was so frustrated.  Then around 1015, I was laying in bed reading, with my door open, and I thought I heard what sounded like pages turning in a book.  Well, it wasn't my pages.  So, I got up and walked down the hall... What do I see??  Rowan lying in the dark (the hallway light has to stay on though) "reading" her Disney Princess book!!!  Oh goodness, I grabbed the book from her and told her she needed to go to sleep.  No more books!!  So, I go back to bed and a few minutes later I hear it again!  I find her again, reading another book!!  That was it.  I told her if she didn't go to sleep, she'd be getting a Spanking!!

So, what does she do?  She starts crying and pulling the "I Love You Mommy" card.  It breaks my heart... But she needs to learn that sleeping in her room is something that she needs to do.  And something that Mommy needs... lol.  So, she ended up having to go to the bathroom and then going to bed.  Finally.  But I would have to say that she didn't get to sleep until about 1030pm!!  Way late... She was still sound asleep with her Daddy this morning when I left.  I hope that she slept in a little bit to make up for the lost sleep last night!

Well, I think Mother Nature finally gave up smoking that shite she was on.  She is finally making it warmer than the mid-70's here.  We are looking at possibly hitting low to mid-90's today!!  Woo Hoo.  But this weekend it will be slighty cooler than normal.  Oh well, as long as it is nice for July 4th, that is all that matters.  But now that I've said that, it will more than likely Rain!!

Yeppers, July 4th is just around the corner.  We'll be having a BBQ at my house this year.  I guess my BIL was tired of having it at his house, so we picked up the slack and are going to throw the Bash!!  It will just be our family (17 people!!) and maybe some friends... Who knows, I just don't want a Big Ol' Bash with too many people to feed and worry about!!  Luckily, we always do a Pot Luck type of deal... So I won't have to worry too much about food.

Oh yes, something very exciting could possibly take place in the next week or so!!  Not to Jinx anything and what not, but this Pickle gal could possibly be meeting the Ticket Lady pretty soon!!  Oh how exciting!!  So, keep your fingers crossed so that there could perhaps be another J-Land meeting :o) 

Hey guys, I don't know if many of you converse of have contact with SloMo or not...  But has anyone heard from her?  Is she doing good???  I surely miss her entries!!  But nothing, not even journaling, can stand in the way of Family Duty.  So, if anyone has heard anything, please pass some information on my way, okay!?!

Well, I gots to run...  Things to do... People to call... You know how it is!!  I hope you all have a great Thursday... I know I will :o)  Its my FRIDAY!!!!

::Many Hugs::
