LOl. I don't think I've read any books by that author. Although, the name does sound familiar!

Yesenia Gonzalez (yourbookcorner) | 4 comments Yess when I saw it I felt like I've heard the name before, I'm surprised I haven't ready any book by her.

JadeShea **Randomsauce***

My hubby and I hate the town we live in. Both of us were forced here when we were little, and just haven't had the opportunity to get out yet. But this year we've had a few chances to leave, but we didn't feel they would work out right... Now, we may be getting a third chance to move. And this time it's only about 5 or 6 hours away from here, but it would be to Houston, Texas!

Does anyone know anything about Houston? It's kind of a scary thought to just pack up and move, but I really hate where I live and I feel kind of stuck...

Any thoughts??

Ethni Allison (easweetpea) | 4 comments Houston's a pretty huge place so it depends on what area you'd be living in. The main downtown area is somewhat dead on weekends but there are wonderful places to shop and eat all over the city. It's half Austin, part San Antonio and part Fort Worth/Dallas in it's personality. The only thing is it's more humid there than in San Antonio where I lived.

JadeShea Hey everyone!

I normally wouldn't do this, but I just want everyone to be aware of it even if you can't donate that's okay. Just want to spread the word.

A very dear friend of mine just lost their one month old baby boy named Percy to SIDS!

SIDS can happen very unexpectly with no signs or warnings. It's something a lot of people do not know about and there is no real way to prevent it or keep it from happening. It can happen to ANY infant under the age of one year old.


R.I.P Percy!

I ask you to donate to Percy's family and SIDS research here https://www.gofundme.com/percy-charles

If you can't donate, again that is okay, but I want to help spread awareness as well!

JadeShea I got a new puppy last week! She's a border collie mix, and she's 10 weeks old. We got her at the pound, there was a whole litter of them there last week.

We named her Lucy and she's very sweet and fun!

Thank you! :) She's really a good dog. She gets the potty training for the most part, even though she still has accidents. But other than that she's really good.

WE took her on a road trip just two hours away on Saturday, and she acted better than my five year old son. lol


message 26: by Sara (new)

Sara Haha that's great! I'm sure it takes time for potty training. I love Border Collies. They are just so pretty.

I do too! I had a border collie/sheltie mix years ago, but she got stolen from us, and Lucy is the first dog we've had since then! So, I'm excited about it.

She's starting to look half border collie half wiener dog. But we aren't sure what the other half is. She's really long and has the tail and ears of a wiener dog.
