Where do you do most of your reading?
I do most of my reading either in my bed before I go to sleep every night or at the dining room table when no one else is either outside or doing something else so it’s peaceful.
Your favorite spot?
My favorite spot would definitely be outside in the front yard or the rocking chair on the front porch right before the sun goes down when it’s all nice and cool outside and peaceful.

Title: Happy Feet
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, and more.
Sypnosis: In the cold land of Antarctica, the Emperor Penguins each express their true love with a special heartsong of their own that expresses their very being. However, the misfit Mumble cannot sing, but instead has an extraordinary talent to tap dance with almost magical energy and expression. Nevertheless, the deeply conformist leadership of the colony fearfully blames the young penguin’s unorthodox ways for the lean fishing that threatens them all. Defiant in the face of unjust rejection, Mumble and his true friends set out to find the true cause of the famine. Through the motley crew’s trials and perils, Mumble learns many things about his frozen world, not the least of which being that his toe tapping talent may be what he needs to save his people.

Wow was it me or were those penguins really sexual?? Lol. I never thought an animated movie could get me sad but it just goes to show there are stuck up close-minded beings even in the world of penguins and wasn’t it kick-butt that the “weird” one saved the day! This movie was funny and worth the rental fee even though my mom bought it although I personally wouldn’t go that far. It was a good movie but not one I’d watch over and over.
Review: 
Speaking of writing in books, what about writing the entire thing? Do you write? Aspire to write? Dream about writing?
I used to write non-stop but lately I haven’t wrote as much as I’d like to. I do aspire to write and dream of being published one day. I usually stick to romance and things that I can relate to. One of my upcoming stories that I have an idea for is this whole idea based on something that’s happened in my past but with a lot more added drama for book value. I hope to start putting some excerpts on my site soon.
If you do write, do you do it for yourself, or because you hope to be published? (Or because you ARE published?)
I write for my sanity. I know that sounds off the wall but writing relaxes me. I have a journal of one pagers where I was in a bad mood and just started writing whatever came to mind. Of course, none of those starters have been added to in forever but one day when I’m published maybe I can look at that journal and gain new story ideas. And yes, one day I do hope to be published.
I’ve decided to add a new addition to the site, memes! Of course not just any old memes but memes dedicated to ones I’m actually interested in. So I found my first one a few minutes ago so I’m gonna answer it and post it later.

Title: Glory Road
Starring: Josh Lucas, Emily Deschanel, Derek Luke, etc.
Sypnosis: 40 years ago, Don Haskins went on the recruiting trail to find the best talent in the land, black or white. 7 blacks and 5 whites made up the legendary 1965-66 Texas Western Miners. They were mocked and ridiculed for their showboating and flaunting of black players on the court. Yet, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, Haskins and his Miners came together as a team united to reach the National Championship game against powerhouse Kentucky. Thanks: IMDB.
What can I say, I’m on a Josh kick and have no fear, Poseidon is coming later today! This movie basically was able to shed some light on the difficulties of introducing black players to the world of basketball back in the day. It painted a realistic picture and for that, it’s sad that people acted that way but then again it was triumphant how of course in the end, the team won the championship. It was a great movie but not the best. Some parts of the movie had me definitely wishing I had a pillow and blanket which proves it was boring since I love basketball and Josh Lucas. Josh did a good job but the movie could’ve been a lot better.

I am in love with Herbal Essences Drama Clean shampoo. I have some-what oily hair and if I don’t wash it every day it looks really bad. Now, with Drama Clean, I can go every other day without washing my hair and without it looking all nappy. Haha. And not to mention it smells sooo good. Their Body Full shampoo smells great as well and it DOES add extra body to my natural bone straight hair.

Books: Secondhand Bride, Just Kate, Sierra’s Homecoming, McKettrick’s Luck, McKettrick’s Pride, McKettrick’s Heart, and the rest of the McKettrick series, and much more!
Linda Lael Miller is by far my fave author. Most of her books take place in the Western world of today and the past. She knows how to create a storyline that has you cheering for the heroin and hero to get together but she sure doesn’t make it easy. Her series involving the McKettrick clan is my favorite and it’s fun reading the stories about the family’s past and then reading the books taking place in modern-day age reading how all the family has similar personalities. She is in my opinion one of today’s best authors.

I am happy with how the site is turning out and am pretty proud that in two days, well really one day of actually having time, I was able to post three reviews. I really like the idea of posting pictures as well since it’s easier that way! I’m really looking forward to posting more information. I plan on renting a load of movies this weekend and will be posting some of my books I’ve recently swapped from PaperBackSwap up later. So I hope everyone enjoys reading my reviews and please if you have any product to suggest reviewing, let me know. review [at] miss-kate [dot] com.

Brand: Cover Girl
Product: Tru Blend Liquid Foundation
I’ve never really been a make-up girl but I was looking for some foundation to wear for this dinner I was having with some friends since my Bare Essentials have not arrived yet. My friend recommended Cover Girl and I decided to try their Tru Blend Liquid Foundation since it’s a bit more pricey and usually make up is the pricier the better since I’m more used to using Clinique, Merle Norman, etc. Well, let me tell you this stuff was not worth it at all. It was streaky looking and not to mention did not blend what so ever. I did the little test thing at the store where they have the swatches you put over your skin to decipher which type you needed. Well, it made me look like I had an orange tint and left a big line. Not to mention, liquid foundation is a pain in the butt.

Title: Lovely Bones
Author: Alice Sebold
Sypnosis: When we first meet Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. As she looks down from this strange new place, she tells us, in the fresh and spirited voice of a fourteen-year-old girl, a tale that is both haunting and full of hope. In the weeks following her death, Susie watches life on Earth continuing without her-her school friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her family holding out hope that she’ll be found, her killer trying to cover his tracks. As months pass without leads, Susie sees her parents’ marriage being contorted by loss, her sister hardening herself in an effort to stay strong, and her little brother trying to grasp the meaning of the word gone. And she explores the place called heaven. It looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. There are counselors to help newcomers adjust and friends to room with. Everything she ever wanted appears as soon as she thinks of it-except the thing she most wants: to be back with the people she loved on Earth. With compassion, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie sees her loved ones pass through grief and begin to mend. Her father embarks on a risky quest to ensnare her killer. Her sister undertakes a feat of remarkable daring. And the boy Susie cared for moves on, only to find himself at the center of a miraculous event. The Lovely Bones is luminous and astonishing, a novel that builds out of grief the most hopeful of stories. In the hands of a brilliant new writer, this story of the worst thing a family can face is transformed into a suspenseful and even funny novel about love, memory, joy, heaven, and healing.Thanks: Amazon
I first heard of this book from a friend on a chat forum who gave it rave reviews. I was kinda antsy to read it at first since this is a girl’s view of her family from Heaven and I figured it’d be sad and bring up too many memories of rape and other stuff for me. Well, I read it anyway and I am glad I did. The story of Susie is sad at times but she is watching her family and seeing how much they loved her and how her memory helps heal each member of her family in their own ways. I was really glad that her father was courageous enough with the help of her sister to not give up until Susie’s killer was finally captured. The story really makes you realize that things like this do happen and gives a new perspective on what Heaven is like seeing as no one truly knows. I do like the idea that everyone has a different Heaven and was glad that she was with her dog. This movie brought tears of sadness and then pure happiness. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions but definitely worth it since if an author has the power to make you feel what they are writing, they are damn good.
