I have decided to try once again to teach myself how to play it. Yes the guitar is old and not a Gibson but for a person who is just starting out I think it will suit my needs quite wonderfully. I have decided to take it someplace to get it tuned up and then I’ll purchase some DVDs that show a person step by step how to play a guitar. I think after I’ve invested all this time and money into this project I may be a little more motivated to learn this craft. After I get good (fingers crossed) I will definitely think about purchasing myself a Gibson guitar as they really are the best model and I’m pretty sure will sound a whole lot better than the one a plan to learn on.

So… wish my luck and as always, I will keep you all posted on my progress.

My absolute favorite author is Beatrice Small and I have a hard time finding any of her books that I haven’t read yet. So lately I’ve been looking at other Authors that have a similar writing style. Another problem with my reading hobby is the fact that once I start reading the book, I have a seriously hard time putting it down. So, now you all know my little secrets.

This past Monday I dug it out once again. Although the pattern is still boring, I have made the commitment not to put it away until I have it done. Because I don't have a whole lot accomplished on it so far, I'm not going to post a picture just yet. When I have more progress done I will post a picture. And like I said, I won't put it down this time until it is finally finished.

I have learned one thing through this process. And that would be...I'm never going to do this pattern ever again. LOL

So….here we go.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.
6. Tag five people to do the same

Since I’m an avid reader, I have a lot of books on hand. But this book “The Marriage Prize” by Virginia Henley was the closest one I had on hand.

Granted, he was the ideal knight, one any maiden would sigh over, but how ridiculous she had been to form more than a passing infatuation for the handsome Irish warrior.

Now I’m supposed to tag five people, but I’m leaving this open to all my readers. So if you would like to join in our fun little meme… well….grab a book and start playing.

Thanks again for the tag Karen!

What does a famous fallen football star and a couple of millionaires have in common? Well, not much except the football star wants money and the millionaires want a heir. Griff Burkett was a well known hero until he was caught cheating in the game of football. He spent five long years in prison. When he got out, he was summoned by millionaires Foster Speakerman and Laura Speakerman to do a job. The job was to impregnate Laura to give the couple a heir. Due to an accident two years earlier, the Speakerman’s were unable to perform this job themselves. For his services and his continued silence he would be compensated greatly.

But all these plans went array when Foster decided he didn’t nee Griff any longer after he got Laura pregnant. He tried to have him killed, but ended up being killed himself. This is when the story gets interesting. A very corrupt police officer decides to go after Griff for the murder. There are many twists and turns in the story and when you think you have things just about figured out, Sandra Brown throws another curve ball in the mix.

I have been reading Sandra Brown’s books for quite a while now and I have to say that this book was probably one of her best. So if you want to read a book that covers all the elements and will keep you turning the pages for more, then I highly suggest you get yourself a copy of Play Dirty.
