Reading and funnies

I have been reading Karen Kingsbury's Redemption Series since February when my sister in law, Melissa suggested it. Oh my goodness, I cannot put these books down! I just started a new one last night and I was sharing with Stephen some of the reviews that are posted in the beginning of the book from other readers. They were too funny and I agree with most of them!

"My friend Shelly and I call your books 'peanut butter books' because when we start reading we just can't stop, and our families know it's peanut butter and jelly for dinner that night!" -Cathy S.

"Everyone should have the opportunity to read or listen to a book by Karen Kingsburg. It should be in the Bill of Rights." -Rachel S.

These women are right. Karen Kingsbury is an amazingly talented woman of God and she can write books that captivate their readers so well. I constantly have to remind myself that the characters are fictional and I am not going to run into Ashely Baxter Blake or Katy Hart at the store or post office-though I would really enjoy that! I feel like these characters are my friends! Seriously, if you have not read a book by Kingsbury pick one up today. The Redemption series is a great place to start!

On another note: I like veggie burgers. So much that I order them pretty frequently if they are available at restaurants or fast food places. Last night, Stephen and I went out to get gas because gas prices are going to skyrocket this week and then decided to stop for dinner before running some other errands. There is a new Culver's that is right by our apartment. For my Florida family and other readers who are not familiar with Culvers, you can click here to read all about them. Anyways, they have a veggie burger now. I ordered it and thought it was so good. I pointed out to Stephen that there was rice in the patty and asked if he wanted to try it.  The conversation went something like this:

Me: "Oh look, there is rice in the patty!"
Stephen: (examining my food) "I see that"
Me: "Do you want to taste it? It is really good-better than Burger King's veggie burger!"
Stephen: "No, not even a little bit."
Me: "What do you have against veggie burgers?"
Stephen: "Everything!"

Hahaha, made me laugh. At least I know I won't have to share my veggie burger with him ever!
