Some Holiday Photos

** Found while cleaning out a closet during our visit to Ian's Parent's house



** Beatles Rock Band



** Edward and I at the Wizz

Read and Listen

** Same author as My Sister's Keeper [which i loved]. This was pretty good, had some sad moments. Great twist [as usual with this author].



** Listened to this on CD while doing all of my holiday driving. Pretty good, intense and interesting.



** Oh Lady Ga Ga, I don't know whether to hate you or love you. Such a strange individual, i dig it.



** Gotta love Keith Urban. Very similar to all his other stuff.

There is always a bright side

Dear Short Bus,

Thank you for hitting me the day before Halloween. Because my car had to get fixed, I now get to roll around in a rental car. Which is much newer and nicer than the wrecked car. Further more, it is equipped with Sirius Radio. Which is pretty great. So now thanks to you I get to listen to "the coffee shop" and all kinds of talk radio.

My ears are happy.

But next time, if you could be sure I am wearing clothes appropriate for winter and a ride in an ambulance with others that would be great.

Love,
Bethany

Seriously?

Last night I was sitting on Ian's bed
and i got stung by a WASP.

Clearly the universe is against me

I am trying to think of all the bad things I have done or bad thoughts I have had

Nothing I can think of warrants:
swine flu
car wreck
wasp sting

**however, I do have a bit of a free spirited wild streak so i think i'd better do some service to try and correct my karma.**

Getting car fixed = $2,300
Ambulance ride = $500
X-Rays + CAT Scan = $650
Prescriptions = $35
Missing Work = $200


Being able to tell the story of being hit by the short bus = Priceless
{unfortunately it also worried my poor boyfriend to death}

Twilight's Antithesis

I have found it...
the anti-thesis of Twilight.Featuring:
An eleven year old girl with braces as the heroine.
Plenty of references to Chemistry
Many witty comments
Lots of adventure
British humor
and just enough danger.

Bella has nothing on Flavia.

Read it, you won't be sorry.

P.S. Totally appropriate for all ages.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DADDY!!!!
