[pomtzu]

So interesting - and a very diversified group indeed. And I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only medical disaster here. Hope all of you are doing as well as I've managed to do for almost a year now! I'm disproving my brother when he says I'm a disaster waiting to happen!!

Continued good health to all..........

3. ^^ means together, my hubby and I have a gazillion first cousins

4. I collect Beany babies.

5. I am always late. It's a bad habit I'm trying to quit, but not yet successful. My husband, on the other hand, is an extreme on-timer. So, whenever we go together, I'm on time. When I go by myself, I'm late

6. My resolution for this year was to pack my lunch every day. I'm keeping up with it so far so good.

13. I love roses. We have 50 bushes in all different colors at our home.

15. I don't watch any sports on TV, except soccer.

16. I'm NOT a morning person. Once in college, I took an 8:00 a.m. class and only managed to attend it twice. One for a midterm, and the other for final. I got a B+ though

The ending is a little contrived but up until then it is gripping and hard to put down. What I particularly enjoyed is it is about the relationship between two women this time.

But be prepared to get very angry along the way!
