Whatcha Reading Wednesday - Yes I know it's Saturday, but I just found this.

Whatcha Reading Wednesday's is hosted by Busy Moms Who Love to Read. This is so for me, you all know that I always have at least one book in session.


RULES for this week:
Pick up the book you are currently reading. Go to page 100 and type that very last complese sentence on the page.

If it is a spoiler at all be sure to put ***Spoiler Alert*** at the top of your comment. (Like if the selection announces the death of an integral character or something.)

"I told you before," Alec said, "half the time it seems like Jace is trying to get himself killed."

Wordless Wednesday

I know there are sites that I should link up to, but I really don't feel like finding them right now. I have a book to read and only 25 minutes

until my self imposed bed time. (I am scheduling this to post in a few hours.)

KIVA Loans

I just made a loan through KIVA to Marleny. She runs a stationary store. How could I not loan her money???
I have heard about KIVA, and thought it was something worth doing. A small loan from me is combined with small loans from others to help out a motived, hardworker further along their business.

So, I started looking, and found Marleny. She is a mom who is trying to help her husband make ends meet.

I figured that I could give up a few paper items, and help someone out.

Maybe you can too. Check it out. It's worth a look-see.

Doilie Monster

Rosemary has created another Doilie Monster.

Now, I am off to create MORE!!!

BWAHAHAHAHA

Morgan and Me in DC: Days 1 and 2

DAY 1

Yesterday was day 1. We drove up here. Checked into the hotel. Went on a few block walk, had dinner and came back to the hotel to swim for a bit. Then it was up to the room where I showered. And fell asleep by 9pm. No, you can't be me. It's way to exciting. You couldn't handle it.

DAY 2

I had to attend meetings today, so Morgan got to hang out in the hotel room by herself. Yup, she got bored. Thankfully, for her, it's over. I got back to the hotel around 5pm. I relaxed for about 10-15 minutes, then we headed out to Dupont Circle to catch the Metro to the National Mall. She wanted to walk around. We headed toward the Lincoln Memorial, but it's really a LONGGGG way. And we were both kind of tired, so we made it to the World War II Memorial, took it all in and then took this really cool picture. I like the way the National Monument looks like it's lit up.

There would be more pictures, but my phone started to die. I texted Morgan A LOT today. Paranoid MOM came out. Which means she answered me. A lot. So, her phone almost died too. I wasn't going to get pictures at the expense of our safety.

But, I am charging tonight, so there will be more pictures later. Probably next week.
