JD Robb: In Death Series
In honor of Reading Is Sexy's grand opening, I'm going to start off with the series that's has been holding me in a chockhold for going on 10 years now.
Nora Roberts, writing as JD Robb in her not so far distant future has captured my attention since my very good friend lend me a copy of the 1st of the series, Naked In Death. That copy started me on my 10 year journey of hunting and gathering mission to find and read every one of the books in the series.

HE’S HOT, HE’S SEXY, HE’S UNDEAD
Two years ago, Robert Pattinson was a forgotten extra in a ‘Harry Potter’ movie. Then he got cast as a blue-balled vampire in ‘Twilight,’ the year’s kazillion-dollar movie franchise, and every woman in America over 14 wants him. Too bad he’s not sure he wants them
It’s December; Twilight, in which Pattinson, 22, plays an adorably tortured perma-teenage vampire too principled to drink human blood, has been in theaters for about a month.

Update on my ONS implant
In case anyone is interested in what's happened since I got the Occipital Nerve Stimulator implanted in my skull last month, here's my update. I've had ONE migraine since having the surgery. That one migraine was induced by the anesthesia so in my book it doesn't count.My Italy Trip (Part 2)
First off I want thank everyone who read Part 1. It’s been awhile since I’ve written such a long blog/written a blog at all and I really love getting comments/feedback. It’s nice to know people are reading!
Wine: Cork or Screw Top? Cork: the environmental choice
Not exactly new news, but just a reminder:
I know screw-top (or the stuff that comes in a box) wine is often cheaper than the cork variety, but please keep a few things in mind when making your purchasing decision:
1) cork is made from the bark of a tree and is sustainable. Cork trees can be used again and again this way.
2) Cork tree farmers are losing a lot of money due to the 20% increase in wine stoppers made of plastic and metal.
