This website is pretty cool. It talks and gives more information and such about short term loans, cash advances and payday loans. It offers a good bunch of information and its worth looking at. You should make sure you know as much as you can about these things, especially in today’s economy.
Bad girl at Quoteable Sunday.
I have been very bad doing my Sunday MEME and next week I am going to promise to getb better at it. I swear. I will of course not count the weeks I didn’t do in my count of which week. But darn it I will do better!
Naughty Nauhty Myths
Okay I don’t usually look at this kind of content. But because of the naivety of some characters in some books I have read recently I had to have a little laugh and check this out for you guys. It’s like your own personal doctor Ruth. This website really is actually pretty cool. It covers a lot of the old wives tails, jumping up and down so you don’t get pregnant. Getting pregnant from a toilet seat or kissing. Yup those kinds of things and what makes me laugh even more is that even when I did ask a question no one answered. Most of what I learned about sex was online, in books and various other places. Not word of mouth.
Over although I think this new website would be helpful. They have some good knowledgeable answers and it’s easy to navigate. I think I would have gotten a lot better replies in my young life if I had a website like this versus the multitude of ones I had to swim though. So if you have questions, or no someone who does. Really head on over and check this site out. I promise you won’t be disappointed, really would I lie?

Book Review: Pleasure for Pleasure by Eloisa James
Eloisa James concludes her romance series about orphaned sisters in Regency England with the most wild-hearted of the lot, Josephine Essex.
Only a month into her season debut, and Josie’s already a social pariah—thanks to the nasty gossip of a neighbor. With her chances of making a match growing slimmer by the minute, help comes in the form of a family friend eager to teach Josie the art of flirtation. But Garret Langham, the infamous Earl of Mayne, may not be the most suitable teacher….
First off, to convince Josie of her allure, Garret delivers a simple kiss that turns decidedly passionate. His lesson works all too well, and soon Josie is swamped with admirers—which is too bad since Garret has decided that no man will ever have her heart…but him. Explicit sex.
The final chapter in the Essex sister story is a grand one. It has a little bit of everything you would expect to see in it. And I have to say that few books ever make me laugh out loud, and yet this book at several points made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to cry.
The beginning starts out a bit sad, poor Josie the youngest of the sisters hates her body, and has been dubbed the Scottish sausage which is a horrible nickname. And of course there for the Ton all avoid her, no young men her age will ask her to dance and only the older men her sisters or chaperone can rustle up will dance with her. The biggest crime is that she sees herself as fat. And Josie is anything but. She’s not fat; she is beautiful like a real woman.
It’s a horrid corset she wears that makes her appear stuffed. Well, enter Garrett the Earl of Mayne. I loved him in the other books when he popped up. He is a rakehell who isn’t feeling like much of a rakehell anymore. He is engaged but none the less he kisses Josie, and shows her what its like to be a real woman. She taking his teaching well gets rid of the corset and indeed becomes a woman who leaves young men slavering after her. She has the body of a Madonna, and she has just a fun personality.
Follow this story is a true romp of fun, and finding love where you would least expect it. Mayne has had a little dabble in with all of the Essex’s sisters in one form or another. Who would have guessed that he would have one with Josie as well? There is a particularly funny scene in which Mayne believing Josie has been ravished picks her up while she is asleep. Josie wakes and proceeds to slug him, giving him a black eye. What a fine way to say hello to a gentleman.
But Mayne can have a good laugh too as Josie’s expense including a time in which he dumps a glass of water over his head and startles Josie into thinking he is a ghost. The romance is there as well, and there is love to be found for everyone. Even Griselda whom who have followed as a widow through it all does indeed find her own happy ending. If you have enjoyed the other books in this series, you must read this one. And if you haven’t read the others, I recommend you do so you can read this one as well. You will not be sorry in the least. You will laugh, cry and enjoy it.

Stunning Wood Bookcase
Wow is the first thing that comes to mind when I saw this bookshelf. I love the rustic look on furniture. My grandpa has a cabin that he built from the ground up with natural wood, and its one of my favorite places to be. This bookcase made me think of it right away when I saw it. It’s so beautiful and the craftsmanship is amazing. I could just picture all of my perfect books sitting on it. It’s even big enough that it *MIGHT* hold all of mount TBR…maybe… or maybe not. But it sure would fit a good portion of it on there. If you’re like me and like the natural rustic look of fine wood furniture check out this website. You won’t be disappointed.
Booking Through Thursday: Numbers Game
For something different, I’m borrowing a question from … here! One of the very first questions ever at Booking Through Thursday. Back from 2005 when Laura owned the blog but, because it was so new, it didn’t get as many responses as it does now … so, why not revisit?
Here’s the question:
Some people read one book at a time. Some people have a number of them on the go at any given time, perhaps a reading in bed book, a breakfast table book, a bathroom book, and so on, which leads me to…
1.Are you currently reading more than one book?
2.If so, how many books are you currently reading?
3.Is this normal for you?
4.Where do you keep your current reads?
Alright, I tried to be one of those people who read more than one book at a time but I really can’t. So I read one book at a time. And that’s all I am reading right now. I am currently reading Pleasure for Pleasure by Eloisa James and it’s really good. I keep my current reads, or books that are coming up on the night stand by my bed. When I go places I might need a book I bring the current read with me. Like this summer some will be traveling with me to Renaissance festival.
Great Bronze Plaques
This really is a place worth checking out. I have been thinking about getting a plaque made for my sweet kitties that have passed on and gone to the rainbow bridge. They currently have their very own book chest I my library (they spent time with me there while I read) and so I have been thinking about doing something nice up in honor of them. This is a great way to go. The following is some more information about the website directly from them, and below that is the link. Check them out you will not find yourself disappointed.
Cast bronze plaques and grave markers are used to remember loved ones and honor fallen heroes, recognize donors and sponsors, award individuals and organizations, dedicate buildings, parks, projects and flag poles, and commemorate life’s other important achievements, milestones and events.
Choosing a bronze foundry to create an affordable bronze plaque or grave marker is an important life decision since bronze is one of the world’s most durable and timeless metals and will be seen for hundreds of years by future generations.

All-inclusive prices for the most popular sizes of bronze plaques and grave markers are clearly listed on the website and include genuine bronze cast using 100 years of experience, free unlimited “text-that-fits” in the design (most bronze foundries charge $1.50 to $3.50 per word or letter beyond five words or 25 characters), no charge for line art-style graphics or logos, fast turnaround of layouts to proof by fax or e-mail for (usually in hours on weekdays, not days), and free shipping!

Car AC
Warm weather is coming, we hope. Its time to make sure your car has some nice wonderful AC in it don’t you think? Which means its time to make sure the compressor on your car is working. Check out discount compressors it you need a replacement. Iknow for sure it’s miserable to drive around without the AC on in your car. I used to do it when I was working on a horse farm. And not only was it hot, and miserable. It was smelly. If you’re in a farming area you know what I am talking about. Yucky. So check out this website and get yourself a new compressor.
