Show Us Your Reading List

Kelly's Korner is asking to Show Us Your Reading List and since I actually HAVE a reading list right now, I thought I would share!

I hate novels. They just never seem to interest me. I like to read, just usually not fiction. And my mom is always trying to suggest one book or another, but I can never really get into it. HOWEVER, when she suggested The Hunger Games, I actually started to read...and I read for two days (as much as I could) until I finished. I was blown away by this book! For those of you who haven't started this trilogy, I highly suggest it. It's a very easy read and it is totally engrossing.

This book is a trilogy, The Hunger Games is first, then comes Catching Fire (which I am in the middle of) and lastly is Mockingjay. This story is fantastic and a little scary at the same time! Scary because of the possibility of it actually coming true at some point in the future. Our heroine is Katniss, a young, strong willed, intelligent and scrappy lady who is forced to compete in the evil Capitol's Hunger Games. This is a fight to death, an annual bloodbath forced upon the poor districts by the Capitol as punishment for an attempted uprising years ago. What will happen? We just don't know! But it's a non-stop, action packed adventure that I wouldn't put down (if I didn't have to).



Now I can't wait to go home and finish reading!!!

Oh my gosh I know I am so excited! It's coming out next year. I am a little nervous that they don't totally ruin it...it's such a great story but the author said it's hard to fit everything in! I am glad to hear from you both!

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
