21

So, I told me dear friend Kate here to go out and get the new Adele cd 21 - but now i telling everyone (ya know, all 6 of you) to get it.  Here are a few of my fav. lyrics from her new cd.

"I set fire to rain, watched it pour as i touched your face, Well, it burned while i cried 'cause i heard it screaming out your name...."

"Next time ill be braver, ill be my own savior, when the thunder calls for me, Next time ill be braver, ill be my own savior, Standing on my own two feet..."

"I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, but i couldnt stay away, i couldnt fight it, I hoped youd see my face and that youd be reminded that for me it isnt over...."

"sometimes i wake up by the door, that heart you caught must be waiting for you..."

"Didn't i give it all?  Tried my best, gave you everything i had, everything and no less, Didnt i do it right? Did i let you down?...But go on and take it, take it all with you, Dont look back at this crumbling fool, just take it all, with my love..."


and so on and so on....how i love this cd - her voice, the music - there are days it keeps me going :)
so if you feel inclined - pick it up, give it a listen - i dare you not to find at least one song that speaks to you...

If I were Oprah, this would be one of my Favorite things...

Ok, quick plug here - Soapsbyshannon.com
These are probably the nicest all around soaps I've ever used (true story people).  Here are a few reasons why:
1.  Leaves my skin looking clean and soft - not clogged, cakey or oily - doesn't cause breakouts.
2.  Strong enough to clean everything else.
3.  (best part) Leaves you smelling gently and wonderfully of soap, which is awesome if you're not a perfume kinda gal, but are into smelling feminine and soft.
4. (also) All natural ingredients!!!
5. (2nd best part) So affordable.

So that's it my friends, go out and buy some - for you, for your lady (or man), for your girlfriends!!!  You can't go wrong!!!  You will Love this soap!

Pizza, I didn't order any pizza! A.K.A. Research Project

O.k. now ladies and gentlemen.  Its time to put on our grown-up faces, hunker down, and get serious.  There is no reason to be bashful, or embarrassed or judgmental here.  We're amongst friends (right?).  I was recently asked by an anonymous friend if i could recommend some couple friendly, mildly pornographic films.  You know, something that might appeal to both men and women - or perhaps just women (although i cant imagine a porno in existence that wouldn't appeal to men.  I mean, come on, as long as there's 2 or more people having sex, how could it NOT?  Am i right men?).  So, here is what I've decided I would do for you ladies equally curious, and men looking to introduce something to your women...I would do a XXX movie review, for you!  Stay tuned - as my horizons broaden, I'll keep you posted.

Summer: time for a good book!

So, i thought i would do some book reviews for the summer, but didn't quite know where to begin...

...this is where i finally ended up. It's a top6 list by none other than America's own world renowned author Mr. Stephen King (have you ever been to a bookstore and stumbled into the shelves with King's novels, they take up their own case!).  However, it is not for his horror writing prowess that i trusted this man to a top reading list, or the fact that he lived in Boulder, CO for a short time, but his blurb in Entertainment Weekly, which i find acutely accurate and insightful regarding culture and life (true).  It will be interesting to see how the group as a whole reads; will they share a common thread, perhaps something in the more morbid vein?  Or, can I trust as an author his tastes will prove broader?  I'll keep you posted as i make my way through his selections :)  I confess, i'm awfully excited!
