Oh happy days

I am planning my trips for this year.  Here’s the plan:

•  St. Louis (My cuz and I are going together.  We’re going to have a good time.)
• Montserrat, Guadeloupe and Antigua (I can’t wait.  I’m doing this solo.  No one to bother or harrass me.  I’ll be island-hopping in the summer.)  If you don’t KNOW any of these islands, then you need to do some research!
• Quebec (With the fam.  in the spring)
• Perhaps, Toronto in August with my cuz for Carnival.  Everyone must experience Carnival.

Oh yeah, can you believe what’s going on with Obama and Clinton??? Vicious. Yikkees!! I love poli-tricks! Peace.

Coming soon…Hail Caesar

I had every intention of quickly finishing this book, but have not. I had others things to accomplish so I will try to complete it by this weekend and post my review asap.  Peace!

Coping with the aftermath…

It has been a while but here’s my review of Trigger by Susan Vaught:

       Trigger is a powerful and emotional story about a brain-damaged teenager.  Seventeen-year-old Jersey Hatch sustained life-threatening injuries from a gunshot wound.  He’s scarred all over, blind in one eye, and walks with a limp.  He cannot recover the nearly two years of lost memories.  At first, he cannot accept that he shot himself. You see, before the injuries, Jersey had it all: money, girls, a car, and popularity.  And then he shot himself.  Now, he wants to know why he did it. Jersey’s parents try to provide support, but they are worried about his mental stability and their marriage. When he returns to school, no one wants to befriend him, not even his ex-best friend.   His peers are verbally and physically abusing him.  Everyone seems to be angry with him because of the ‘incident’.  Life as he knows it is being torn apart and he doesn’t know what to do or who to turn to.  This story offers a new voice to the topic of teen suicide.  The author also provides a great resource page for readers seeking more information.  Appropriate for mature high school students.
