Follow My Book Blog Friday With Alison Can Read #14


Q: I like unique names for characters and am looking forward to coming up with some when I start writing. What's the most unique character name you've come across? 

I know this will probably be used repeatedly by people today but I think Hermoine has got to be one of the most unique character names. 

 Also, Renesmee is quite unique as well. 

So there goes!  

Oh and for boys I would probably say the "bad" boys of Hogwarts, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. 

All of these names are just not your traditional boy names. 

And, being someone who prefers originality, I actually applaud the authors for being unique!

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You STRONGER

Seems to be my theme song this past week. I cannot even begin to explain the numerous BOMBS that have been dropped on me this week. Apparently everyone who knows me also have impecable timing with telling me these things RIGHT BEFORE my Bar.

Our {7TH} Valentine's Day!!!

I cannot believe that we have been together for 7 Valentine's Days! I know in awhile it won't be that big of a deal because there will be so many more, but right now it is just something to marvel at. My longest relationship aside from Joe was around 2 years. The fact that we have been together over 3x as long as that is just so wonderful.

Frankly it's hard for me to remember my life without Joe. To think of a time where I didn't talk to him every day, didn't see his face. Not sure if that's just because I don't want to, or what. Maybe I'm just too twitterpated for my own good!

Either way, I love him just as much now as I did when I first fell in love. We had a wonderful evening and it was nice to get a break from my rather monotonous study routine that I have otherwise been caught up in lately.

Here are some pictures...

Since I figured most people will be sharing photos of their cellular phones, I thought I would share a picture of my landline phone. Yes, that's right, some people actually still have them! Craziness, I know!!
