Vampire books

I received the Twilight books for Christmas. I read them all within a week and have since read the series three more times. I have been on a search for similar books and today I found two new seises. The first was vampire academy by Rachel mead and the second was True blood by Charlene Harris. I can already tell I am going to get through these quickly and be left wanting to read other similar books. As someone who never imagined wanting to read vampire books I am stumped. Any suggestions?

Live like you're dying

Do something that makes your heart beat faster every day.
Give the dog a bite of your sandwich.
Play air guitar - rock 'n' roll air guitar.
If it's short, let it grow...... You can always cut it.
If it's long, cut it.......You can always let it grow.
Don't underestimate the power of a crayon.
Wear pajamas out for the evening.
Top down. Radio Up. Laughing Friends.
Laugh until you cry. And vice versa.

May we live like we were dying.
With passion and purpose and mission and meaning......
and with a little wide abandon. With no forgiveness
withheld and no anger held within.

May we live like we were dying.
With a heart full of memories,
precious and true,
like a Bible that we can open anywhere
and find ourselves and faith.
With friends and family and hugs
and laughter and singing and praying
and crying and holding hands and
saying all the sappy stuff.
Then and only then.....
MAY WE DIE LIKE WE WERE LIVING.

WHAT'S MY WORD?




Your Word is "Peace"



You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of.

Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you.



While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life.

You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

my bunny personality




Your Chocolate Easter Bunny Personality



You know what you want in life and how to get it.

You're not going to waste time or let yourself be meek



Whether it's chocolate, money, or power...

You take what you can get, and you act quickly.



You have a lot of energy, and people sometimes scared by your determination.

Not that you care what other people think. You're not going to apologize for who you are.

what kind of chocolate am i?




You Are Milk Chocolate



A total dreamer, you spend most of your time with your head in the clouds.

You often think of the future, and you are always working toward your ideal life.

Also nostalgic, you rarely forget a meaningful moment... even those from long ago.

101 in 1001 update

Another 4 101 in 1001 goals were completed this week.
18. Blog everyday for a week
54. Get a new mobile phone
22. have my medication reviewed
26. Create carepage for prayer requests

I brought myself the Nokia 6120 today. Its charging and then I’ll be so happy to have a reliable phone again. My previous phone was the LG TU500 and, unlike the person who wrote the review I have linked to, I had trouble getting service and the battery life sucked. It needed charging each night and as the charge point is very small I needed help to physically connect it to the charger which just wasn’t practical.

I saw my doctor on Tuesday and I will be weaning myself off one medication (gabapentin) over the coming days. Please pray that this is successful and without major side effects. I am not sure if this drug will be replaced with another but I hope not.

I didn’t create a carepage for prayer requests but instead created a caringbridge site. You can find it here. There isn’t much content there yet but I’ll add to it in the coming days. If anyone has any prayer requests please take a moment to create a profile & leave them in the guestbook so I can get my prayer angels working for you.

That’s 23 101 in 101 goals so far. At least two more will be completed tomorrow- possibly 4. Tomorrow’s post will tell you all about them so please check back.
