#SciFi #Books! #IAmNumberFour, by #PittacusLore - OMG, it's so addictive - you can hardly wait to read the next ones! : > I Love The Whole Series! Yay! #ScienceFiction #Aliens! #UFO

(And I get a wee something from every sale through my blog, so thank you soo much! It still will always get you the very best deals, I'm just pointing the way to all the great deals - lol!)

I soo want to see some GOOD Movies made of the Pitticus Lore Series - would be amazing, with all the new technology, now, right? The first movie was nooot good... no bueno, some people might say... otay, you got me - it WAS me who said that, but, still.. these books would be incredible to watch on the Big Screen, not just in your mind, any more! Books, not just for your mind - haha! Well, you know that made me laugh! Now me gotta Tweet it! lol! 

Man, I just finished reading I am Number Four, by Pitticus Lore, and I'm telling you, I couldn't put it down... was a great read, for sure.  And here's the hilarious part -- my 12 year old son, Aidan, had already read it (first time that's happened! lol!), so was really funny... all the way through the book, Aidan kept saying to me, "Which part are you at?  Oh, you're coming up to my favorite bit!"  Was really funny to me!

So if you have already read The Hunger Games, and if you haven't, you're in for a crazy treat (!), you're gonna love I Am Number Four.  And since it's my birthday, next week, my lovely daughter, Cara, said she'll get me a copy of the next book in the Sequel, The Power of Six. Ooooooh, I canny wait!! (Also, I'm excited about going out for dinner -- we're going to one of my favorite Greek Restaurants from when I went to University -- hope it's as delicious as I remember it to be -- I love those Chicken Brochettes (!) ... sometimes it's the little things that make you happy! lol!)

I Am Number Four is another book where I don't want to give anything away, so very tricky to chat about, until everyone in the family has read it, or all your friends have read it, then you can chat away 'til your heart's content! lol!  Oh, and Cara told me the movie is really good, too, but definitely read the book, first, then see the movie... guess that's next on my list to do!

Let me just leave you with this -- you'll love the characters, John Smith, Henri, Sam, Sarah, and even Mark, and especially Bernie Kosar.... just a really fun read, and great for any age, girl, boy or alien! lol!  If you've read it, let me know what you thought, how much fun you had reading it (were you carried into another world?? lol!), and if you are about to go buy I Am Number Four, Happy Reading!!  Ailsa xox

Oooh, if you're interested in all things extra-terrestrial (or if you're a human with an interest on how things are going here on earth... lol!), check this out:

Hope that link works! Some very interesting news from a very important official in Canada about identifying 3 different alien species, alien visits to earth, the 'Tall Whites' living in an army base in Nevada, I think it said - it's a long video, but definitely very interesting....things to think about, for sures, eh?!



Ooooh, I've read all three of the Lorien Books, now, and they are fantastic reads - soo much fun! I'm going to give these books as Christmas Presents, because there's nothing I love more than a great read on Christmas Day - you know, after all the presents are open, you've had a lovely Brunch, it's nice to curl up with a great book, relax and really enjoy your day : )

Oh, my goodness, I looove these books! Age Schmage - that drives me crazy, this new thing of attaching an age to any book - read it if you love it - read it AND you'll love it! lol!



 I just finished The Fate of Ten - omg, I did not want to stop reading - you know how you get a book like that, you just don't want to put it down! What a great feeling, what a great read! You know I can't tell you anything about it, but let me know when you've read any of the Pitticus Lore books... I love to talk about them! lol!

And THEN, if you are like me, and you just can't seem to get enough of John Smith and his, uh, gang, if you will ... Garde is clearly better... I just don't want to give anything away... Self-Discovery is the key, here, right? lol!




There you go!!  You'll be lost in Lorien Myth and Legend in no time!! Happy Reading!! : )

Cool and Delicious #MacaroniSalad - The Mustard makes all the difference : ) #LowFat #Veggies #Mustard

Deeeelicious Macaroni Salad

This is THE Best Macaroni Salad 

Light, Delicious, Low-Fat, Very Healthy - Yum! 

The Secret is the mustard, very little mayonnaise, and all of the crispy, fresh veggies! Yum! Soo deelish! I have it for pretty much every meal - and it makes soo much, I give most of it away - lol!

Ingredients:

4 Cups Macaroni  (Put the macaroni on to cook lightly - not too long, put in a sieve or strainer in the sink {how do you spell colindar? Nope... will go look it up - mostly for me, but maybe for you, to! lol!}, pour cold water on it, toss around to cool the macaroni down...)

1/4 to 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise

2/3 Cup Mustard (I am heavier on the Mustard -- it's delicious!)

2 tbsp. Montreal Steak Spice

Fresh Black Pepper and Salt to Taste (I like a LOT of Peper - yum!) 

Veggies:

1 Green Pepper, diced (Okay, now I think I use 3 Green Peppers)

1 Red Pepper, diced

1 Yellow Pepper, diced

1 Orange Pepper, diced (Realy, whatever's on sale! lol!)

2 Green Onions, chopped (Optional - the Red Onion is the flavor you're relaly after : )

1 Red Onion, diced (If it's huuuge, 1/2 a Red Onion, diced)

Whole Celery Stalk (The whole thing of Celery!), chopped (Yum, Celery!!)

2 - 3 tbsp. Relish

1 tbsp. Diced Dill Pickle (Optional -- I have to put it in because that's what Dwight's Mom used to use, so he likes it!)

(I add 1 of each color of Pepper I can find, so tonight I'm using 1 Green Pepper, 1 Red Pepper, and 1 Yellow Pepper -- just looks really pretty! lol!)

Step 1: Cook the Macaroni, then Drain and cool.

Step 2: Mix the Mayonnaise and the Mustard in a large Measuring Cup. Blend in Steak Spice.

Step 3: Prepare Veggies. Toss them into a big (and I mean BIG!) Bowl as you prepare each one.

Step 4: Pour the Mustard/Mayo Mixture onto the Veggies, and mix well.

Step 5: Slowly stir in the Macaroni. Sprinkle with Freshly Ground Pepper.
Step 6: Cover and pop in the Fridge. The colder, the better.

(Or you can add the Macaroni to the Veggies, then add the 'Sauce'. Just put in as much as you like -- I often have a bit left over, and I save that for Sandwiches, since it makes a nice Sandwich Spread, too!)

This is a great make-ahead dish for a BBQ.

I came up with this recipe when Dwight, my (ex)husband (back then... we're divorced, but friendly, now...), said he’d really looove some Macaroni Salad, and I had no idea how to make it, but I can’t stand the usual ‘mayo salad’ that is usually served, so I just started experimenting in the Kitchen (that’s basically how all my recipes are ‘born’! ha,ha!), and this is what I came up with – now it’s a family favorite! We even eat this for Breakfast! I happen to love lots of ground pepper on mine and a wee dash of salt, but it’s personal taste, so add it if you love it!

This is just delicious! Nice and Crunchy and Cool ... a very nice Summer Dish (although I'm making this, right now, in the middle of the Winter -- I have a craving for crisp, cool, delicious vegetables, and this Macaroni Salad is addictive, it's sooo crazy good! I often end up having it for lunch, dinner, breakfast.... snacks... uh, I think you can see where I'm going with that! lol!!) And it's a real 'Crowd Pleaser', too!

Don't let this picture fool you - this is a GIANT bowl - AND, I had another couple of bowls in the fridge... so, it makes a massive amount of Macaroni salad - yum! : )

Yahoo, Can-Am Days are back in Myrtle Beach - Yahoo! That's GREAT News for Canadians - our Canadian Dollar is soo low, right now  (hint, hint - for all my lovely American Friends, this is a great time to travel to Canada - we're 30% off, right now! And hopefully not for very long - I like when our Canadian Dollar is on par with the American Dollar - that's what works best for me - lol!)

But during the Can-Am Days, our Canadian Dollar is taken on par with the US Dollar, so, is soo much easier to travel - Thanks, Myrtle Beach!

Oh, hey, maybe other places will have Can-Am Days, for all the little happy Canadian Travelers! We would love that! : )

My morning coffee view -- beautiful!

Don’t Miss Out! Save up to 60% Off Hotels!  Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is a great vacation spot for people on the East Coast -- just jump in the car and the next thing you know, you're there!  and the hotels are a great price, right now -- we got a great deal at the Caravelle Resort... we chose it because my daughter's name is Cara, sooo.... you can see why we clicked on the Caravelle Resort in Myrtle Beach! lol!  But it was fantastic -- the first time I've stayed in a hotel with a kitchen and little dining room table, and a separate room... was great!  We got the Breakfast included in our package -- what a great deal, but if I were doing it, again, I would skip the breakfast and have cereal for breakfast, instead (mostly because there's a Target in Myrtle Beach, and Target carries my favorite, favorite cereal that I love ... Archer's Farms Chocolate Chunk Hazelnut Biscotti granola -- deeelicious and fresh with a sliced banana -- yum!  But when we were looking at hotels in Myrtle Beach, there were soo many great deals... easily you could find a great place for a family vacation (or a couple, or friends... whoever you want to go with! lol Or on your own for a total break! haha!) for around $500-1,000/week (maybe even less...!)...look around, you'll be happy with what you find : )

Okay, so here's the Lazy River -- was soo much fun and soo many laughs!  Is not the most glamorous thing, and you need to be super-careful when you try to wedge yourself back out of the rubber tube thing when you're finally ready to come out... is so hard to want to come out of the Lazy River, because every time you go around the front edge, the speed picks up and whips you around the loop, again -- is sooo much fun! Watch out for your bathing suit on your way out the Lazy River, though!! lol!

On our way back from the pool and the Lazy River, my new favorite thing, ever!  Hillllarious, and  the sort of thing I think would be even more fun with a couple o' drinks! lol!

A quick stroll on the beach after breakfast each day -- great way to start the day! Will remember not to take pictures with that little handbag under my arm -- great little handbag, but not overly flattering in photos! lol!

Oh, man, I loove Myrtle Beach - their Pralines, alone, are worth the trip - lol! But is always so gorgeous, and lots of great memories, from all the trips we made to Myrtle Beach when I was a teenager... so much fun! And now Myrtle Beach has their Can-Am Days, again - where they take the Canadian Dollar on par with the US Dollar - yippee!! It would finally be affordable for Canadians to travel to the US, again! Thanks, Myrtle Beach - oh, and check out the great restaurants - Benjamin's is our favourite! Yum! I lvoe a Seafood Buffet (You see the food and eat it - nooo, me joke, but is an amazing buffet!)  Leave room for their delicious little Lime Desserts - so light and lovely!
