Looooooo It's Beautiful on it's Own

I have declared myself the Princess of Shop Vac's.

I grew up in Cole Harbour, and when I graduated from Cole Harbour High, I was all about moving away. Couldn't wait. Then a few short years later (after getting over home sickness)I could deal with being home, then, after that, I wanted to be back home. My parents live here and My sister, I have roots here. I missed Hurricane Juan, White Juan, and the craziness that came from both of those events, but I always kept close tabs on how my family was. I hated being away when BIG things were going on, not that I could help out too much, Im not handy, I can't cook, well maybe....a little, and I always felt like I should be home when these things went down.

About three weeks ago, my parents basement flooded for the first time, and I was here, I helped shop vac, and helped some more by taking more of my stuff out of their house (Mom always jokes that I've never REALLY moved out) But this weekend, the basement flooded twice more. The first was Saturday, and Mom was home by herself. I feel really great that Rob (hubby) and I were there for her. I feel like there is a point where children pay their parents back for all the trouble we cause. the second time the basement flooded was last night into this morning. Rob went to their house at 2am to help Dad deal with the water, and Im lucky to have a super boss who agreed to let me take today to help. With no sleep and water still coming in, I think Dad was happy to have the help, after all it's really hard to shop vac and take walls down by yourself. So today we ripped down walls that were still there from the first flood, and searched for the problem, while I was mostly on shopvac duty to keep water levels down, I was again relieved to be able to be there to help.

I believe that Im lucky to have parents who ALWAYS came to my rescue, weather it was cash I needed or a couch to crash on when I've been sick (Mom is THE BEST nurse EVAH) And now I feel grateful, and lucky to have the opportunity to help them out in return. My family is beyond important to me, and if you run into me at a station event, chances are My Mom wont be too far behind. She has become a HUGE supporter of The BOUNCE, and often calls me to give the details on what Frankie Hollywood and Ana talked about in the morning, though chances are I heard it too.

Im happy to be back home. Happy to be closer to them, and happy I can finally lend some sort of skill to a crises even if its vacuuming up water and emptying the shopvac all by myself.

So if you are fortunate to have parents who have your back 100%, don't forget to have theirs too. And if necessary, I can lent you my shopvac tiara.

Still think they should come in Pink though.

Oh and because today (December 6th) is my Birthday, I totally had Wendy's for Lunch. LOVE THE NEW FRIES! NO FOOLIN'

Whaaaaat! Anne Rice's Vamps coming back!!?

It's true, after the horror that was Queen of the Damned, it seems Anne has her heart set on re-vamping (haha) the Vampire Chronicles. Who would you cast to re-set the epic stories?? Anne wants Robert Downey Jr to play Lestat. Hmm, interesting. Lestat is supposed to be blond, I just hope they don't make him wear that silly wig that Stewart Townsend had to wear in Queen of the Damned. Haven't heard what story they will start with, but I do believe that Interview with a Vampire, shouldn't be touched. It was very well done in my opinion. Perhaps The Vampire Lestat should be the movie that kicks it off again.

As a refresher of the two movies that have already been done...here are the trailers




And Queen of the Damned




What story do you think they should pick??

What actors should play Anne's Vampires??

ANNNNNND!!!!

So, Big Books for the last 12 Months.

If you have an avid reader on your Gift Giving list this year, I have a site for you to check out. I joined it a couple of months ago, and its a great way to get your next read ideas. All you need to do is find out what their book preference is. Is it Romance, biography, mystery, sci-fi, or one of the millions of other options. All you do is head over to

www.goodreads.com

You can search by genre and when you do, book shelves filled with books of that genre pop up. It's information over load the first couple of times you visit, but give it a chance. The books are reviewed by readers, and not based on sales, or other propaganda. Get a few titles and see what the availability is at the Book Store. really it's that easy. I know, giving books as a gift is risky what if they've already read the book?? easy, bring it up in conversation. As for their opinion and if they haven't read it, then Bobs your uncle, you have a gift.

Obviously the Millennium series by Stieg Larsson is BEYOND popular, and thanks to True Book, the Sookie Stackhouse series (True Blood is based on the books) by Charlaine Harris is super popular too.

You can click on this link http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/2010 and it will tell you how many times a book has been "Shelved" which means the number of times someone earmarked by people on the site. It's a good resource for your book giving research.

Happy Reading & Gift giving!
