She’s All That by Kristin Billerbeck

Win books and an iPod Nano! Contest ends January 31st. Get more info on my contest page!

Another meme:

1. I am a black belt in aikido. No joke! I got it my senior year of high school. There are also TEN levels of black belt in aikido and I only got the first one.

2. I sang in a Christian a cappella group in college called Testimony. I sang soprano and at the peak of my youthfulness (boy those days are long gone), I had a 3 ½ octave range. The Christians I met there were some of the most influential in my life. I fully committed myself to Christ because of them.

3. I used to draw a lot, especially Japanese anime. I don’t as much anymore, but I still enjoy it. I’d probably do it more often if I weren’t enjoying writing so much.

4. I have over 3500 books in my house (I keep an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of them). About 150 of them are ebooks, so I guess they don’t count since they don’t take up space, but that still leaves 3350 books. They are mostly paperbacks bought from thrift stores, although I haven’t bought any lately, since I have no money

5. I am allergic to bubble bath soap—I break out in a rash. Yeah, I had a deprived childhood.

    Hey there Camy.
    I do a lot of drawing myself. It's a great way to channel the creative spark.
    Blessings,

    WOW. That's a lotta books. You oughtta start a library. Have you read them all? I used to make it a personal rule not to ever own a book I hadn't read. (This is back when I used to practically live at the library and actually had time to read.) Now I have a stack of books that I've gotten because they looked/sounded really cool, but I just haven't had the time to read them.

    I'll do the meme but I don't know what the 5 things are supposed to be. 5 Things Most Poeple Don't Know About Me?, I'm guessing? Or is it just 5 things in general?

    Oh. My. You cannot be serious! Where on earth do you keep them all???? No wonder your hubby makes you give some away. In fact, I'll bet that if you post your spreadsheet (are you a Type A?) for giveaway purposes you'd create a stampede. No joke.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

How can I pray for you?

Photo credit: lalalime.blogspot.com 日本語訳は下をご覧ください。 Just when I was feeling better, I had another bad IBS flare up! I had a really wretched 2 weeks in September, but I’m finally starting to feel better. Despite the lost two weeks, I got right back to work and now I'm getting close to finishing book 5 in my Regency series. Please continue to pray that my health will be stable so that I can write without getting derailed by my IBS like I was last month. Lord, thank You for all You give to us. You remind us in little ways each day that You are watching over us and that You love us. Help us to have humble hearts that submit to Your will for us, because we know that You love us fiercely and only want what’s best for us. In Jesus’s name, Amen. How can I pray for you today? Please leave me your prayer requests! Prayer requests can sometimes be private things, so to keep your privacy, I’ve made a form you can fill out that will keep your requests just between you and me.

ひとり寿司第２２章パート５

「ひとり寿司」をブログに連載します！ ひとり寿司 寿司シリーズの第一作 キャミー・タング 西島美幸 訳 スポーツ狂のレックス・坂井 —— いとこのマリコが数ヶ月後に結婚することにより、「いとこの中で一番年上の独身女性」という内輪の肩書を「勝ち取る」ことについては、あまり気にしていない。コントロールフリークの祖母を無視するのは容易だ —— しかし、祖母は最終通告を出した —— マリコの結婚式までにデート相手を見つけなければ、無慈悲な祖母は、レックスがコーチをしている女子バレーボールチームへの資金供給を切ると言う。 ダグアウトにいる選手全員とデートに出かけるほど絶望的なわけではない。レックスは、バイブルスタディで読んだ「エペソの手紙」をもとに「最高の男性」の条件の厳しいリストを作った。バレーボールではいつも勝つ —— ゲームを有利に進めれば、必ず成功するはずだ。 そのとき兄は、クリスチャンではなく、アスリートでもなく、一見何の魅力もないエイデンを彼女に引き合わせる。 エイデンは、クリスチャンではないという理由で離れていったトリッシュという女の子から受けた痛手から立ち直ろうとしている。そして、レックスが（１）彼に全く興味がないこと、（２）クリスチャンであること、（３）トリッシュのいとこであることを知る。あの狂った家族とまた付き合うのはごめんだ。まして、偽善的なクリスチャンの女の子など、お断り。彼はマゾヒストじゃない。 レックスは時間がなくなってきた。いくら頑張っても、いい人は現れない。それに、どこへ行ってもエイデンに遭遇する。あのリストはどんどん長くなっていくばかり —— 過去に掲載済みのストーリーのリンクはこちらです。 *** 「あなたのお父さん、いつボックススプリング（ベッドのばね）とマットレスを持ってくるの？」 「三時まで用事がある、って言ってたから、うちに帰って荷物を取って、四時ごろかな」 「用事って、どんなこと？」 レックスは肩をすくめた。「聞かなかった。話したくないみたいだったし」 ビーナスは腰に手をおいた。 「あなたたち親子って、コミュニケーション不足よね。今までどうやって物事をやり終えてきたんだか」 「ちょっと、ちょっと。兄一人とシングルファーザーの家で育ったのよ。朝起きた時におは
