I used to love coming home from a camping trip and jumping into the shower after everything was unpacked and put in its place (the dog always got his bath first). :-) <BR/><BR/>Another M&M color separator! It's nice to know I'm not alone. :-) I'm not sure saving the green for last because it's my husband's favorite color is a good reason--but it works for me. <BR/><BR/><B>Nymeth</B> - Thank you! I really like that photo too. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Melody</B> - Me too!

I feel like a grimy rat! Anyway, I LOVE that picture you posted from your husband's office. Not often you see a full rainbow! I also separate the M&M colors, and eat them color by color. I eat the green last too, but I have no good reason why!

I haven't read too many biographies in general either.<BR/><BR/>The fur balls did let me sleep in this morning--with a little help from my husband. ;-) He was good to me this morning and got up with them. Usually he sleep through their morning wake up calls. I think though I might have been the one to wake him up when I complained to the dog that I wanted to get back to my dream to see what happened. LOL<BR/><BR/>I really like that photo too!<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great weekend too.<BR/><BR/><B>Jen</B> - Dr. Seuss biography would definitely be worth reading. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Florinda</B> - Thank you! We got some rain today as well, but no rainbows outside my window either.<BR/><BR/>The BTT question seemed really timely with all the other similar discussions going on about that topic as well. It's been interesting to get everyone's take on the subject.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for baseball season to start. I'm going to see if I can talk hubby into a game or two this summer. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Carrie K</B> - LOL I'm with you there! Football is definitely that. <BR/><BR/>Another bio blurb reader! Yay! I read all of those things too: prefaces, introductions, prologues, epilogues, related readings, discussion questions . . . It's all part of the book to me. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Matt</B> - Very well said! <BR/><BR/>My soccer years were when I was still in school, admittedly. :-) I hope you have a great weekend too.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-2966619374982134252009-02-07T21:36:00.000-08:002009-02-07T21:36:00.000-08:00Usually I would pursue the life of authors if the ...Usually I would pursue the life of authors if the books have engaged me.
