Lonestar Angel

I find I can't figure out how to post a review on Amazon o.0...I will have to figure out how to do that eventaully lol.
    Lonestar Angel Book Review
                  by Colleen Coble
       Lonestar Angel is actually a very emotional book. When it opens, you have no idea what is going on, who the characters are, ay of the back history. She just throws you into the plot, and lets you get to know everyone as you go along, which was a bit confusing actually.
        One thing I liked about the book were the descriptions, it is set in Texas and she makes everything sound amazingly beautiful. Also, all the thoughts and dialog really explain things plainly for you in an easy to under stand way.
       Drama is immidiately in the book as you find out Eden-the main character-is still married to her thought-to-be ex husband Clay, and their daughter Brianna is still alive, though they thought her to be dead after a kidapping attepmt.
           Eden is pulled back into her scarred marriage with Clay, and guilt over loosing Brianna as they follow a clue to a ranch, where they in a group of foster children, Brianna has been hidden for all these years. Although sometimes it doesn't seem like they react the way parents who have gone through loosing a child, or parents who are getting thier child back, would, real love and yearing for their child is shown.
The suspense is actually very good, it's not always the same fear being described, and you don't know the entire time who the "bad guy" is. There are a lot of characters, not just added in to confuse you, but giving the book a depth and reality. Clay and Eden's relationship with the five foster girls is believable, and sweet because they think any of the girls could be their daughter. And Colleen Coble really did capture the innocence and pain in each of these unique children.
Eden and Clay's relationship is a bit unbelievable-not that they don't seem to get along, just the back-story is a bit hazy, and the the way neither of them will talk about anything that matters can be annoying. But eventually their relationship does wrap up nicely. As does the story. The ending is unexpected, and there is that fairy-tale "happy ending" that everyone wants.
Over all it was a pretty good book, a little scary, a little mystery, and lots of love-from God, the five little girl, and of course Eden and Clay.

The Was-To-Be-Post and Sandra Bullock

    So there is was, typing my blog on several things (Rihanna, Totoro, hamsters....) when all of a sudden I hit a wrong button, and it goes back, and erases all I had just written. I was so upset, because there were all these cute picture of Totoro...and a hamster. I suppose I could put them on now, but it seems pretty useless....which is not a very nice feeling!
      I guess I should pick a new topic. I am all Rihanna-hamster-Totoro-ed out.
      How about Sandra Bullock? Now there is an actress I like. I would have to say she is my favorite, simply because of Miss Congeniality, and The Blind Side, and the part of The Engagement when she danced around the fire with Betty White. She also seems to me a pretty good actress, being able to play a ditzy/crazy person in All About Steve, and a slightly sarcastic blonde southerner in The Blind Side.                                                           
     Another actress I like is audrey Hepburn, who is no longer alive, but I still love.
She is known for her "grace and charm", but i mostly think of her big eyebrows and somewhat extreme eye make up. Whether sh is playing a usually-drunk girl who has slight gold-digger tendencies  in Breakfast at Tiffany's, or a a childish dreamer in Sabrina, or the daughter to the dude with really huge eyebrows in How to Steal a million I love her!!
                                                                
Sandra

Of Mice and Men. The dangerous kind.....

The other day-last Friday to be exact, as in the one from 5 days ago-my friend and I were sitting on some steps inside of our church talking-you know, girl things...like unicorns and lip gloss etc.-when one of the guys runs in from outside, points at a random corner and yells "MOUSE!!"
    Now looking back there is something I should have realized.  He came running from outside, so unless he could see through walls there is no way he could have known that a mouse was there.
    
     Nevertheless (I'm not sure if I should put all of these together...there is just a band that does it so why shouldn't I?) my friend rushed up a few stairs and started screaming. I stood up and looked over the railing, curious to see if it was cute. There was nothing to be afraid of, I assumed, unless it was a rabid mouse(something I have never heard of..) or could climb steps. I figured I was safe from the later because of the mice in Cinderella. It tokk them FOREVER to get up those steps to Cinderella.
I couldn'f find a picture of them climbing the stairs
But here they are!!
    Now it turned out that it was all a joke. One of those jokes that guys do for no reason and your just like ......? for some reason this caused us to get into a heated discussion concerning what was more dangerous....a mouse biting you, or a man(human being....it doesn't have to be of the male variety).
    Her argument was: 1. mice are filthy and live on the ground and carry disease...and that was it....
    My argument: If some random dude comes up and bites you he is likely INSANE and about to kill you, a VAMPIRE  or a ZOMBIE.

                                                                            
So.You tell me what is more dangerous ;P Sparkly mice or vamp/zombie to my right ;P
