BAFAB; Buy a Friend a Book!

Win a FREE book at writefromkaren.com I was just chatting to Chris on MSN, when my Twitter thing popped up with someone posting a link to something, and I asked myself I don’t remember following anyone with BAFAB, so nosey me goes to see what it is (i finally did recall following them). Well every year apparently they hold a Buy a friend a book every quarter, so it would be held on January, April, July and October, so yeah it’s like 5 days until the week of BAFAB, the whole concept really is to promote reading, and friendship. So during this week, you would (if you participate), buy a friend a book, not for any special occasion, it should be a “just because” reason, imagine the shock they will have!! I think its a fantastic idea and I do plan on participating. If you would like to enter a contest to win any book you want, then I would say go and visit Karen and read up about her contest. Anyway I think it’s a fantastic idea and I would encourage all book lovers to get in on the fun! Oh yeah and Karen is also going to have a photo contest, for details on that go visit her blog, this link will get you to the post about the photo contest, I plan on entering that as well!

Wow I just heard from a friend, that his gf was mugged tonight. Omg that’s horrible. I won’t say who it is because they want privacy and it happened about 2 hours ago. It happened while she was walking home from a friends, poor thing got her handbag stolen along with her mobile phone. What is wrong with people these days? Well I just think its very sad that people have to prey oh the weaker. I am just glad she is okay, she is very shaken up. Apparently she was mugged by a group of teens, boys and girls! I don’t know what more to say about that but I really hope, they get caught. Although she said she didn’t report it to the police because there wouldn’t be anything they can do about it. I know how that feels. Anyway just goes to show you be careful when you are out and about. Even in your own neighborhood, which she was in.

I think I will be off to bed, and/or possible watch a film as I tend to not be able to fall asleep right away. And a good film would be just the thing I need. Earlier today I watched Step Up (hurry up Millie). Yeah I really didn’t expect to like those type of films, but I was pleasantly surprised, there was a very sad part in it, but otherwise a very lovely film. I know the film is a few years old, but still it was well worth seeing it. All I have to say apart from what I’ve said already is Channing Tatum = Yum! I also have Step Up 2: The Streets which I do plan on watching later this week. I have to say that I am doing really well in my Movie competition with Millie, haha, we are so keeping up with each other. There has been an odd occasion when I cannot find a film, but she helps me out, and vice versa. Oh yeah Millie is working on her site she plans to reopen it on Friday or during the weekend. I am so looking forward to seeing what shes’ done, she is basically revamping, and putting up a new layout so that will be nice to see. Ok well have a good week everyone! Good night all.

Days Melt Into Each Other

That’s what it seems like, the days just melting into each other. I do like how the weather is warming up though. We’ve had some really beautiful sunny days. I have some pictures I want to share of what I took. The only snow day we had here haha. I was still excited about it, and went out into it. Being from California, we don’t get snow like that, unless you are up in Big Bear, and sometimes the High Desert, funny to say it snows in the Desert huh? Lol. But yeah I remember one time while there it snowed and I woke up late at night and I had my niece and nephews visiting for the weekend, and I just had to wake them up to see the snow. Later that day I bundled them up lol, and took them out to play. They loved it, shame I didn’t have a camera back then to take pictures of them. But it was such a treat to just see them having fun. Last night I started to watch a film called Paris Je’taime, from what I seen it was so far about a few love encounters sort of, it was nice to look at because since being a little girl I’ve wanted to go to Paris, and that movie was made in Paris so that was a nice treat, but I got too tired and decided to turn it off before it finished, it had about 30 mins left but I just couldn’t stay awake. But I left the blog for awhile and I went back to finish the movie just now, and I paused it because I just wanted to write and say that the movie well it is interesting, several relationships or encounters come up and some are like relationships saved and others are just like passing things. Some sad moments in them and some really happy ones. Oscar Wilde’s grave is shown, I’ve always wanted to visit that, more so because my ex introduced me to Oscar Wilde. She introduced me to a lot of things I didn’t know about. Anyway I guess I’ll pause again and finish the movie and then return to finish my blog lol. Ahh that was a good movie, it was bout 2 hours long, but really worth it, it was subtitled because most of it was in French, but I loved seeing it. I can’t wait till the day that I can visit Paris myself. Heck maybe one day live there

Here is a picture I wanted to post, this is from the Balcony, I’ve posted pictures before in the summer but this was like last month the ONLY day we had snow haha. I loved it!!!

It’s so amazingly beautiful. I was telling my friend Chris on MSN, that I get all giddy about this because I don’t get to see snow live as much as other do so its pretty exciting lol. I fee like a kid all excited omg even talking about it excites me lmao . So thats my picture of the moment I guess. well not much else left to talk about, although I can probably come up with a million things but then this blog will become to long and people won’t read it lol. Anyway it’s Friday and well hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, hopefully the weather is gorgeous and what not. Have a good one everyone.
