some after-christams goodies

Santa brought me:


my brand new Steve Berry book---I heart this author. He's compared to Dan Brown a lot, but I think his writing is much better. His other books include The Amber Room, The Romanov Prophecy, The Third Secret (my current favorite), The Templar Legacy, and The Alexandria Link. The latter two, along with The Venetian Betrayal all revolve around the same characters. I hope this one is just as good as his others.

For some laughs you should check out Maureen Johnson's blog. One of Maureen Johnson's books were banned from the Bartlesville Mid-High, which infuriates me to no end. But her blog is HILARIOUS. The latest post includes the following:

J.K. Rowling (Mrs. Rowling appears numerous times in M.J.'s blog. Read them. You will be happy)
and

A hamster. Zac Efron (once again, hunky!)
and last but not least

Katie Holmes and Posh Spice (aka Mrs. Beckham)

I love this blog. Did I mention all these characters are intertwined? READ IT!

Next post: my new love of India! Namasté!

inconceivable!

My future in-laws bought me the 20th anniversary edition of "The Princess Bride" movie for Chritmas. Along with HSM2, this movie was high my list. I love it! Romance, fighting, giants, evil bald men--all wrapped up in satire. Plus Westley would be my prince of choice


The movie cover


Hunky! Too bad he turns evil in Ella Enchanted



My favorite character! "My names is Ingio Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" And he bears a striking resemblance to my uncle Mickey. It's actually really close. I'll post a picture of him soon.

And finally

Officially now on my Christmas list :)

My name is Jayme...

and I am an Anglophile. I am completely and utterly obsessed with all things London, England, or pertaining to either. With that said I would to introduce you to some YA books I found at the library that help me fulfill my addiction of all things British.

The first is L. Rennison's Georgia series.


Katie Maxwell's American teen living in England saga.


Not real heavy reads, but perfect rainy day quick ones!

My senior year of high school I received my laptop and a digital camera. But since it has been about three years since then, I asked for a new camera for my birthday. And I had extra loan money so I bought a mac.

For the joy of Lord is my strength...

After services last week I had this song going through my head.
It was a real comfort this past week. We lost an amazing person. One I loved and will miss a lot.
And this Sunday we talked about this exact sentiment.
How great is our God?

Sing with me.

Review: A

This was an excellent birthday gift for Haley. She loved every minute of it. The acting was dead on for Barbara's heroine Junie B. Jones. And the other five actors who played about nine parts together were great. It was fast-paced and fun. The stage was a great decorated composition book that opened. It had a few flaps for the scene to move from school to home. Definitely 3 to 8 age-appropriate.

read and enjoy

my newest feature. today's "can we talk?" is written by the fabulous author meg cabot. you should really visit her blog. she's hi-lar-ious. but the best part of her post was the link to "aliens in america."




monday at 8.30.
don't talk to me.

uno dos tres

the third name in my url: in wonderland

This has been my favorite for ages. Not sure why but I love to watch it over and over again. I also really like watching Peter Pan over and over again. But Micheal Jackson pretty much ruined "Neverland," so my friends, I am left with being in Wonderland. But that's okay.





In other news, Barbara Park's (known for bring elementry schools alike the infamous Junie B. Jones) books have been made into a play. There's a showing tonight and tomorrow and since my cousin Haley is going to be six soon I thought
I might take her. So tonight she and I will be attending Junie B. Jones (such an original title!). I hope she likes it.

day number two.

picture number two. Belle.

Normally I would say that I love the movie Cinderella more then Beauty and the Beast, but Belle is defintely my favorite Disney princess. Mostly because she likes to read and has darker hair. She's only the second to have dark hair, actually.

-Now for something entirely new

Ron Paul is up in his polls, with Romney, Guiliani, and McCain all down. On the Democrat front, Clinton leads over both Obama and Edwards still.

"'what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'"

I wanted to add some pictures last night, but it being 2 am I thought I might go to bed instead.

The first word in my url name: Scarlett, for Margaret Mitchell's heroine in her only book, Gone with the Wind. I'm not a huge fan of the movie, but Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh do make a dashing pair.

welcome

I am now officially a "blogger."

My old blog, a wordpress, was great. I love the services wordpress provides its user. However, blogspot is connected with my gmail account, and I really like that. So, as long as blogspot works out well, this is my blog. And to celebrate my first post, I give you:

Six Random Facts About My Internet Life

1. Facebook is the website I visit most often

3. I am buying a new Macbook which I plan to name Trixie or Bess.

4. I don't really care for myspace, even though I have one.

5. I watch youtube videos almost daily.

6. My url is made up of three things
a. Main character from one on my favorite books.
