Camera Critters: Trying To Sleep
This is Shelby, laying on Steve's side of the bed.
She was really tired and did not want to move.
Saturday 9: Turn Back the Hands of Time
1. There's a Time Genie. She can put you back in time to relive a day that you loved. If you could turn back time, what day would you relive if given this opportunity?
I would go back to the day my mother died and tell her how much I love her. I would also tell her I am sorry for my behavior growing up. Also, I would accept her offer to go home with her that day.
2. What did you do yesterday?
Ate a lot of food.
3. You've been given 3 parachutes, but there are 4 people who need them. Who will you not give one to: Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Kim Kardashian, or Simon Cowell? Why?
I would NOT give a parachute to Kim Kardashian. That woman is so very fake and full of shit.
4. Where are you going and where have you been?
I have been a lot of places, seen a lot of things and I have no idea where I am going.
5. They say that books read as a child make more of an impact on a person than books read at any other time in life. Are there any books that you particularly loved, that shaped the way you think when you were little?
I loved a lot of books as a child at different ages. I read (and still read) a lot of books. At a very early age (five) I was reading novels and I devoured books by the truckload.
6. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks?
Getting Christmas over and done with.
7. What was the last text message you received?
"Happy Thanksgiving! I just found my phone."
8. Do you prefer to call or text?
I prefer to text. I cannot hear very well so phone calls don't always go so well.
9. What were you doing at 9PM last night?
At home, eating leftover ham and apple/cranberry pie.

I Am A Peace Blogger
Welcome to the 8th launch of BlogBlast For Peace aka Dona Nobis Pacem in the blogosphere.
What is it? A small group of bloggers answered a challenge Mimi at Mimi Writes tossed one angst-filled October day in 2006. Mimi wanted to know what would happen if all bloggers everywhere signed their name across a globe and all posted the SAME POST on the SAME DAY. Mimi created a graphic and made the first one. Mimi asked them to write "Dona nobis pacem" which is Latin for "grant us peace" across the graphics image and post it on their blogs in November. Fifty-two people responded enthusiastically and soon it began to spread like a beautiful lyric across the internet.
Mimi started the Internet's first ever online movement of this kind
which moves from blog to blog and continues to grow.
There is something magical about the peace globes.
Something that can't be explained.
