It was a dark and stormy night
Ken at It Comes in Pints tagged me. *snickering at the meaning "tagged" had when I was in college*
But, he tagged me with a book meme. So, here we go.
1) A book that changed my life:
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
This seriously helped my in my marriage. I have a better perspective of where the dude is coming from now.
2) A book I've read more than once:
What to Expect When You're Expecting (I've got three kids, what can I say?)
3) A book I'd take to a desert island:
This is a hard one. Probably the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I love these characters.
4) A book that made me laugh:
Falling Up by Shel Silverstein - my father-in-law gave this book to my oldest boy and there are some good little stories in there to incite laughter.
5) A book that made me cry:
I Love you forever - my oldest used to like to ask me to read this book because I could never get through it without crying. My middle kid does the same thing with The Kissing Hand. The Chronicles of Narnia made me cry with the final book.
6) A book I wish had been written:
How to make children eat and like their veggies before going to bed without a fuss and never sassing their mother along with its companion, How to make your husband tell you that you're gorgeous every day
7) A book that should never have been written:
Dude, Where's My Country by Michael Moore - *please say his name like you're spitting out a dirty word with vile contempt* I don't even have to say anything else.
8) A book I'm currently reading:
Close Range by Annie Proulx - I'm so not enjoying this. I have been trying to suffer through this short story collection for what seems like forever. It has Brokeback Mountain in it, but it is the last story. I can see where she is an uber talented writer. I'm just not into the Western genre and the characters are often icky people I don't care to read about. She likes to write about the dark side of people, it seems.
9) A book I'm planning to read:
Nerds Like It Hot - I got this from a website where I'm going to do some book reviews. Looks like a funny, romantic mystery.
10) Five people I'll send these questions on to (also known as who can I burden with one more thing to do today):
El Capitan at Baboon Pirates
ArmyWifeToddlerMom
LabKat
Mo at Six Degrees of Blondeness
Gadfly at Mental Floss

Dang. It would be books. I know I've read at least one (it's periodicals and blogs with me anymore).
Hey, but I should make Mr. Mo take this one, too!
OK, I'll do it and post his on my li'l LJ as well.
(You know, I think the books I've read will have people saying, "Ah. Now we know why she doesn't have kids. It's... probably for the best." :-D)

OK. Here it is, girlfriend.
Blondness has its challenges.
Glad I'm married to a smart blonde guy (who really liked this meme, btw...!)
