Bread and Butter

I am one of the most selfish people on planet earth.

(whew)  Glad I got that out of me!

When I found out my mom was going to have her fourth child, I prayed it wouldn't be a girl.  I was the eldest and the only girl in my family, and since my mom was an only child. . .  I was seriously spoiled!  :)

But thankfully, God gives us just what we need (which for me is never what I ask) so when I was about seven years old I had a new baby sister.  BTW as soon as I saw her I loved her more than any any toy and I treat her better then my growing porcelain doll collection.

Ten years later...

My sister on her princess birthday party.

My sister and I are like night and day.

This is a picture of my personality. (and since I'm not a cartoon I get two)
 

These are her personalities

Miss Fancy Nancy

  (except her name isn't Katie)

As you can see I'm the more; plain, sensible, mature, book loving, and I hope the graceful one. (Although I do have some Latino in me that occasionally comes through.)

And my sister is the; fun-loving, loud, fashionista, party planer, always accessorizing, and sooo cute! 

Another key difference.

She loves these!

This is my kind of doll

Needless to say we have our battles.  Trying to decorate the room was a big one!  She wanting Zebra stripes, hanging canopies, and hot pink camo on the walls. (She does have older brothers) And I was wanting peach and blue beach scenes.   We settled for Paris,  so the room is pink, green and black with the Eiffel Tower everywhere.



What does this have to do with the title of "Bread and Butter" you might ask.

Well, nothing much except I LOVE BREAD AND BUTTER!!!

I could make something up for you if it would make you feel better;  My sister and I are like bread and butter, we complement each other and one without the other isn't much fun.
(Are you happy?)

I am very thankful for my sissy, without her I'd be a snobby spoiled brat I'm sure.
And soon I might post on the prank her brothers and I just pulled on her. :)

Siblings really change who we are, are you thankful for them???


Before I go, I'ma gona give a shout out to my S.I.C.O's  (Sisters In Christ Overboard) I really have the greatest friends on the planet.




Like gum on my shoe, a sister sticks thru.

~~Invasion~~

Book: Invasion, A C.H.A.O.S. Novel   Author: Jon Lewis

Do you believe in aliens???  How about a company whose Board of Directors are possibly evil aliens wanting to take over the world?

Ok, I didn't think so.  But neither did Colt McAlister until his parents are mysterious killed by a drunk driver.  Sure, that's not all too mysterious, but this drunk driver had glowing red eyes and passed the alcohol test.

I definitely took this off the Internet, it's not quite this extreme in the book.

Colt, along with his friends Oz, and Dani (short for Daniel), discover a plot behind the "accident" and since no one else seems to take action, they might end up being earth's last defence. 

This is, literally one of the greatest, thrilling, most action-packed books I have ever read!  I got it from BookSneeze® and it arrived in the mail at around 4pm I didn't put it down until I finished at twelve! :)

In fact I liked it so much I gave it to my younger brother (age 12) to read, and he has loved every minute  with Invasion.  Naturally it takes him a little longer to read, he currently has three chapters to go.  I was sad, and slightly forlorn when I finished the book, I wasn't ready to put it down.  My one consolation is that it is part of the C.H.A.O.S. series and there are more to come.

Reasons I enjoyed Invasion;

✮ It was an easy yet, captivating read.

 The age level is 11+ and what I say to that is phooey!  Big kids can read it too!

✮ I got it for free at BookSneeze!

Although the price isn't bad at around $15 in stores, and $10 on Amazon.

✮ There were some romance twists.

Not so much as to keep my brother from enjoying the action and adventure.

✮ No cussing!!!  I enjoyed being able to share with my siblings.

✮ Technology is used throughout the book, one of my pet peeves for modern books are when they don't use technology that's now available.  (i.e. cellphones, GPS, security systems.)

As you can see, This book gets five stars!  I definitely recommend this book!
