Month: October 2012

Sleep Pink

Sleep Pink

As everyone knows October is breast cancer awareness month.  My great grandma on my dads side of the family died of breast cancer before I was even born but I have always wished that she would have been around because she seems like she was a great women when she was alive.  It is sad to know that the chances of a women developing breast cancer is 1 in 8.  Estroven is trying to get women to band together by hosting pink themed parties.

Movie Night

For my Sleep Pink party I decided that I wanted to get together and just relax and watch movies.  As you can see I picked tons of chick flick movies but there is also a great list here if you are looking for other ideas.

We also had pink drinks along with pop corn from the theaters because who can have a movie night without stopping by and getting the good popcorn from the theaters!  Here is also a great place to get idea’s of drinks and food you can make for your own “Sleep Pink” party.

During the month of October, Estroven is providing women with the necessary tools to host a Sleep Pink-themed party on SleepPink.com. The site will allow party hosts to upload photographs of their events, and for every photo, the company will pledge $100 to benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It will also provide information to help organize the Sleep Pink parties including downloadable invitations, menopause-friendly
drink and food recipe suggestions, as well as décor and entertainment ideas.

Top 5 YouTube Videos

As most of you know I love watching YouTube videos.  This week for the writers workshop one of the prompts was to list my top 5 YouTube videos of all time.  This was harder than you can think because there are so many that I watch all the time but here are the 5 that if they got deleted I would be so sad!!!! (They are in no order)

If you get offend by swearing than this video isn’t for you but it does make me laugh every time I watch it.



As you can see they vary greatly but like I said there are tons more that I love.  Here is a post where I listed some of my favorite channels that you should all check out.

The Trouble with Cowboys by Denise Hunter

The Trouble With Cowboys

About

Only one pair of boots—and the cowboy wearing them—can get Annie out of the mess she’s in.

Annie Wilkerson is Moose Creek’s premiere horse trainer and equine columnist for Montana Living. Money is tight as she tries to put her kid-sister through college and provide for her young nephew. When Annie’s column is cancelled, she’s given first shot at a new lovelorn column—and she can’t afford to turn it down. Only problem is . . . Annie’s never been in love.

Always resourceful, she reluctantly strikes a deal with the town’s smooth-talking ladies’ man Dylan Taylor: She’ll work with his ailing horse, Braveheart, if he’ll help her answer the reader letters.

Working closely with Dylan is harder than Annie imagined, and she quickly realizes she may have misjudged him. But her unwavering conviction that cowboys are nothing but trouble has kept her heart safe for years. And she can’t risk getting hurt now.
The more Annie tries to control things, the more they fall apart. Her feelings are spinning out of control, and her sister’s antics are making life increasingly more difficult. Annie knows she needs to turn the reins over to God, but surrender has never come easily.

When Dylan reveals his feelings for her, Annie doesn’t know what to trust—her head or her heart. The trouble with this cowboy is that he might just be exactly what she needs.

My Review

Once I started reading this book I couldn’t stop until I finished reading it.  I spent the whole book wondering how things were going to turn out.  There are also parts of the book that totally shocked me and I never would have seen some of the turns that it took.  Parts of it I totally predicted but I was still interested enough to keep reading it.  After reading this book it has really gotten me into reading more books like this.  I could never say enough good things about this book.  It was amazing and it was another one that was sad for me when it was finally over.
