Last night I read Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks. It didn’t touch me near as much as some of his other works but it was a good story. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to read it, because I think he was going for tears and I just couldn’t find them. Has anyone read The Notebook and watched the movie? I love the book, but I haven’t seen the movie yet. I’ve talked to people who saw the movie and everyone has said it was wonderful. But, I want to know if it is worth watching the movie if I like the book. Does Hollywood mess it up like they did The Horse Whisperer?
When I stopped for gas on my way to Houston, I saw a rack of CDs in the gas station. Since I lost all of my CDs and DVDs in my last “divorce,” I thought I’d get a couple. Of course, CDs at a gas station somewhere in the boonies – I’m not expecting the best selection. I managed to get two CDs that I’m happy with though. I got Reba’s Sweet Sixteen CD and Wynonna’s Wynonna CD. The Reba CD has Cathy’s Clown on it – probably one of the best Reba songs. Well, she has a lot of good ones, but I would include it on my ‘Reba’s Best’ CD. From the Wynonna CD, I repeatedly listened to She Is His Only Need. It really is a sweet song.
Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don’t deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted
‘Cause without her where would he be?
See, it’s not for him
She is his only need
I was supposed to go to California this weekend with SK, but her business trip was canceled and so now we are not going. I’m kinda bummed about it, because I was hoping to do some toy shopping while I was there. I know I can shop online, but sometimes, it’s hard to gauge size and effectiveness from a picture. Am I the only person who’s ever ordered something online, got the box, opened it and thought, “That’s what 8 inches looks like?”

Alliance of Free Blogs - I found You Know You Wanna while searching for kitty porn. No, that's not a typo.
I like to buy things that are pictured in someone’s hand. It’s a good reference.

Wow, “Do You Hear What I Hear” is playing right now!

Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. We must not shop the same sites though, because most of the pictures I see are just the toy.

I’m good like that

Well I usually shop through a catalog, but they have a web site too and I think they use the same pictures. Adam & Eve
They also have user reviews for some of the products, which is nice.

Yeah, yeah. I know what *I* think 8 inches should look like. It seems some people don’t quite have the same standards :p

I’ve used that one before, but it’s been a while. I’ll check it out again. Thanks
