Bad Book Review

So, I read this really terrible book recently. It was really bad. As in stupid. But I read the whole thing. Maybe I shouldn't admit that. But I had to find out what happened to the one nice girl. The book was called "Dangerous Kiss" by Jackie Collins. First of all there was no dangerous kiss. There was a little kissing but nothing that would elicit such a title. Secondly, all the characters were beautiful people. Jackie Collins describes everyone in the most glowing and complimentary terms...even the ugly people were paragons of beauty. The book is about rich, powerful, famous people in Hollywood so of course there are a lot of good looking people but come on. Thirdly, almost everyone is bad. Actually, a lot of them are currently happily (and faithfully) married but had plenty of "fun" with drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll, or whatever, before. The main character is this beautiful (of course), powerful, independent woman. She and her husband are supposedly happily married and deeply in love but she makes a life changing decision without him and he is understandably upset and she yells at him for trying to control her. She slept with her best friend because she thought her husband was dead and then when he came back-alive-she didn't confess because she thought he was dead so it's okay, right? Which takes us to number four: ridiculous plot lines. The nice girl in the book decides to get revenge on a guy (date rape) and he manages to knock her out, kidnap her, get her hooked on heroin and marry her. He does all of this because she is going to inherit a huge fortune when she turns 35. The point of all of this is don't read Jackie Collins books. They are stupid.

Pictures of Baby

Okay, now that the baby is 3 1/2 weeks old I can post some pictures. Hopefully I won't fall asleep while I'm working on this. I fall asleep almost every time I sit down. It makes it hard to read a whole story to the kids. Okay here are some pictures of Penny. Most of them were taken today.



This one is weird because she looks like a doll.
