I picked up this quirky little book by author Katie MacAlister called Improper English. It’s actually quite fun. She starts off every chapter with an excerpt of the characters romance novel that she’s working on. I swear the character’s writing is gosh awful, but hilarious. The thing that makes this book unique is it’s written in first person and is a romance book that sounds like a chic lit novel. It takes place in London. (The location may change later, but I haven’t finished the book so I don’t know.) The writing is interesting and fresh and easily sucks you in. I’m looking forward to seeing where she takes the characters.

Isn’t it amazing that the more people you have around to make a decision the harder it is to reach the decision. I’ve always been amazed by this phenomenon.
In my other life, I had to deal with a lot of different personalities at one time. (And no they weren’t all mine. LOL!)But the same held true. The second you get four or more people together activities in general come to a screeching halt. Especially if there is a decision to be made.
I thought I’d escaped the insanity when I shrugged off my old existence, only to find I’ve been dragged back in…kicking and screaming.
My dh and I are about to make a lifestyle change. A dietary one to be exact. We’ve finally hit that point in our lives where nothing lives up to its memory. You know when you remember a specific food that had always been your favorite. So you decide to go out and order it or prepare the meal yourself, only to find you don’t enjoy it the way you used to.
Well that’s been happening to me at an alarming rate. Foods I used to love are just sitting so, so with me. I’m not sure what happened. Did my palate get more sophisticated in the middle of the night? Or did somewhere along the lines I just grow up and out of certain foods?
I really don’t have the answer. All I know is things have got to change. I’m tired of the same ol’ same ol’ and I’m especially tired of the way it makes me feel.
