I came home one day last week and there was a note on my door telling me where the package was hidden--I expected on package and there were three envelopes full of books. And not just one book per envelope. It was a bit overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>I have to go back for a root canal next month. I had scheduled a vacation day to make the Easter weekend a bit longer and now I'll be stuck in the dentist's office instead of at home goofing off. Oh well. The best laid plans.<BR/><BR/><B>Kristy</B> - You too, Kristy!<BR/><BR/><B>Nymeth</B> - I hope so too! Have a great weekend.<BR/><BR/><B>Myckyee</B> - I hope your dental appointment goes better than mine did. May you be blessed with perfect teeth!<BR/><BR/>I'm excited about reading The Silver Swan. I look forward to reading what you think of it.<BR/><BR/><B>Susan</B> - Parker is doing better, thank goodness. The vet didn't schedule him for a follow-up, which is a good sign as well. I wish I had been so lucky with my dentist appointment. On the plus side, I'm not in any pain (knock on wood) despite the problem I need fixing. I hope it stays that way!<BR/><BR/><B>Jen</B> - Yes, they have! LOL A booklover can never have enough books. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Staci</B> - Just about! I was lucky the UPS delivery person knew to hid them and not leave them on my porch this week. Whew!<BR/><BR/><B>Melissa</B> - I hope you do find some waiting for you when you get home. That would be a great way to end a vacation. :-)<BR/><BR/>The paw print came with a previous template I used and my husband used his internet magic to add it to the new one. It's neat, isn't it? <BR/><BR/><B>Nat</B> - It seemed like I hit the mother load last week in books. It's a bit overwhelming. <BR/><BR/>The Fill-Ins were a bit tough this week.<BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoyed your weekend!<BR/><BR/><B>LoveCreations</B> - Thank you for the tip! I have a friend whose mother sells Avon. I'll see about ordering some through her. My hands are in really bad shape right now. <BR/><BR/><B>Sally</B> - Yes, they can. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Iliana</B> - I hope so, Iliana. Now that I've set up a private mailbox, it would work that way, wouldn't it? :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-66427813744033239502009-03-28T23:12:00.000-07:002009-03-28T23:12:00.000-07:00Melody - I sure hope so!

I am not happy about that. :-(<BR/><BR/>I hope you are enjoying your weekend!<BR/><BR/><B>Cat</B> - I hope you and your husband enjoyed his birthday! Did you do anything special?<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to diving into my new books. I just need to get through these other ones that came first. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Sandy</B> - I'm wondering the same thing, Sandy! Simon and Shuster went crazy in sending review books. They never warn me--they just send them. It makes for a nice surprise at least.<BR/><BR/><B>Jenclair</B> - Lots of choices. :-) I haven't decided if I will read all of the surprise books, but there are several in the stack that look really good. I hope you have a great weekend too.<BR/><BR/><B>Kathy</B> - Thanks! It was a good week. When it rains, it pours.<BR/><BR/><B>Caspette</B> - I wasn't happy about having to do both in the same day, let me tell you. I didn't want to have to take off work for either and so they both got scheduled on my Friday off. At least one of us came away with good news--better the cat though than me. <BR/><BR/><B>Diane</B> - I thought so too. We can compare notes if we read the same ones!<BR/><BR/><B>Joy</B> - Wouldn't it be nice? I'd really be drowning in books then. I'm looking forward to reading The Blue Notebook. I was eying that one the other day in fact, thinking I would like to read it. Now I will be able to. :-) <BR/><BR/><B>Anonymous Child</B> - I really want to read The Graveyard Book. One of these days.<BR/><BR/><B>Serena</B> - It sounds like a good one, doesn't it? Are you part of the blog tour as well?<BR/><BR/><B>Nikki</B> - I hope you have a good one too!<BR/><BR/><B>Melissa</B> - They sound good, don't they? I'm looking forward to reading them.<BR/><BR/><B>Debi</B> - It was definitely a present surprise! <BR/><BR/>You bet I had a weapon! No one was going to take my book. ;-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-1420283940527457322009-03-28T15:07:00.000-07:002009-03-28T15:07:00.000-07:00Let's hope the mail thieves are gone for good!

I am writing because I saw your comment on another woman's page about how your hands were really dry and you couldn't find a lotion that worked. Hubby had the SAME problem and I tried everything and nothing worked. His hands were so chapped and dry that his knuckles started bleeding. Anyway this woman I knew had the same problem and recommended this stuff to me and brought me an extra bottle - It's Avon - Called Intensive Moisture therapy. She said it's really cheap - like 3 or 4 dollars and worked miracles. So I rubbed it on hubby's hands generously and rubbed it in for about a minute or two before he went to bed, and when he woke up you could totally see and feel the difference - it was AMAZING! He only needed to use it a few more days before he was good as new. So just thought I'd throw it out there as a suggestion! =)Tina https://www.blogger.com/profile/18272630116453716616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-5357967822187338452009-03-28T11:30:00.000-07:002009-03-28T11:30:00.000-07:00Yay for new books!
