Book Review - I've Got Your Number

I've Got Your NumberI've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I should not have started reading this at 10:30 at night. I finished it at 1:30 AM and it made for a very tough time getting out of bed when my alarm went off.

Kinsella has a pattern. Slightly unusual girl meets hot guy and complications and hijinks ensue. What made this book better than most of hers is the poignant relationship that she develops between the two main characters.

Poppy loses the heirloom engagement ring that her fiance gave her and, in the panic of trying to track it down, her phone is stolen. She finds a discarded phone that was dumped by the departing Personal Assistant of businessman Sam Roxton. She talks Sam into letting her use the phone until she finds her ring and promises to forward all of his messages to him. Of course, she does more than that and starts responding to his emails which doesn't go over so well with Sam.

There's some intrigue and some character building and a very sweet love story in this book. I quite enjoyed it.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
