There's a bit of adultery in the beginning that's not gotten into specifics about, but closer to the end, there is a sex scene (It's fairly tame, if I remember correctly)
My parent's didn't care when I was that age, but if your family is a littl emore conservative, then perhaps not? I hate to have his mum catch him reading a dirty part.

Man, that sounds like fun. Can we come over?????

Hurry over, Elizabeth and Sasha!

Someone who I love dearly on this board sent me a christmas present today. I opened it (I have no self-control) and it is a sleep machine! LOL I think someone believes I don't get enough sleep! Imagine that!

It was a timely gift because the sounds of the ocean will drown out the sounds of bailey squalling all night, although now (knock on wood) he is still quiet and sleeping.

As I know she is online right now- I will just say Thank You for thinking of me in such a wonderful and practical way!

I also got presents from Kumbulu and Anne, but those are unopened under the tree- and I thank both of them as well-

The girls got, Gift Cards for Facials at my favourite Spa, One got a real nice Pinstripe Suit with accessories, another got a Clinique Gift Set, another got Liz Arden-Provocative Woman, Another got some nice sconces and candle holders for her new home. The last lovely lady I buy for got a plethora of gifts from, a dress she loved, Elizabeth Arden Make-Up, A Wal-Mart gift card, Beaded Candle Lamps, a kitten, oh, and a toaster oven and deep fryer (for her new apartment)
The Boys got clothes from a nice men's store, cologne for those who like that, professional hair products for those into that, cool tools for the tinker boys etc. For my other half, I got him a DVD, a webcam, a weird tool thing, a die cast car to add to his collection and alot of other things.
I made tree ornaments for all of the girls this year too. I did them with pictures of that person, or depending who it was, something they love, or to a few, a picture of them with me on one of our group trips and vacations.

Kitties: water fountain and toys
Mom: Hand carved walnut bowls in three different sizes from the antique store

Grandpa: big puzzle
Grandma: tea pot for her collection
And of course, everyone gets a family picture.

I'm so thankful it arrived safely, Mary Anne! After day 10, I was really getting concerned! This sound machine has worked wonders for me, and I only hope you find it just as effective as you strive to savor a bit of slumber between your hectic work schedule, your beloved husband, your babies that fill your home and your heart as well as your numerous self imposed responsibilies that seem to find you everywhere you go! Yes, from one insomniac to another, please get some sleep, sweet friend!

Do I ever feel behind when I see peoples lists here. I haven't even started yet. I better get to it. Anyway, Sierra looks cute in all those pics. She looks like she's listening for a heart beat from her toy in one of them.

Thank you so much for your sweet complement, Ryan! Guess Sierra's taking after her RN Mommy!

I also received this wonderful gift- it will come in handy for Tazzy because she doesn't like to go upstairs which is where the litter pans are located-

How very lovely!

Lucky Sierra! What style Boogie Mat is she getting? I'd love to get my cats those collars but Mac is a fiend about un-latching those. He takes them off of himself and others! I have to buy the super streachy kind. What color is Sierra getting?

Oh, thank you so much for asking! Sierra is getting the purple collar, it's her color! She will be getting the Oriental Boogie Mat! Do your babies have a Boogie Mat? It's so funny that Mac not only takes his own collar off, but goes around taking everyone else's off as well!

I got my babies all sorts of catnip toys. Today I am going to buy them a laser flashlight to play with and some toys that Sweet Sierra recommended to them. She told my babies what to ask me for.

The assistant principal at school, who is also one of my best friends, gave me a gorgeous stuffed reindeer, silk, ivory and burgundy. I have a collection of stuffed reindeers.

The BEST present I got last year was a "Cat A Day" calender from my friend Jeff.
