OMG, Are Dan Brown's Books coming to Life?? What's Going on at The Vatican??

Holy Schmokes, what's going on at The Vatican, these days?? We just finished reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons (phenomenal read, by the way, if you haven't read it, yet, you're in for a real treat!), but, man, it's like all the intrigue and possible murder of The Pope are straight out of a Dan Brown book! Is crazy! What on Earth is going on in The Vatican?? The Butler did it?? Holy Smokes (would be a good name for cigarettes sold around the Vatican, right?? haha! Or maybe the origins of the term 'Holy Smokes' doesn't just come from the old Batman series, which I looved (!), but maybe the origin of 'Holy Smokes' comes from the smoke that is sent up during the election of a new Pope?? You know, the black smoke when they're not in agreement, and white smoke when a new Pope has been chosen? Just a little thought.... it's the kind of thing I think about! lol!

I'm thinking this is a good time (and good summer reading, anyway) to read all the Dan Brown novels.... The Da Vinci Code (brilliant), Angels and Demons (remarkable, incredible, and now... true???), Deception Point (and now with the first trip into space with the independently owned SpaceX making the drop off in space (using the Canadian Arm I think!)... man, that goes right to Deception Point... is Dan Brown clairvoyant?? Or just brilliant?

Now I've got Dan Brown's Digital Fortress -- it's waiting for me to read it on my night stand, but it's hard for me to read Dan Brown's books at bed time! lol! You never know where they're going, so I love to read something light and friendly at bed time! lol! Right now, I am making my way through all the Sophie Kinsella books -- they're great! Light and fun, very moving and once you get started, you just can't stop... but no Vatican intrigue! lol! For Sopie Kinsella books, my favorite, so far, was Twenties Girl (sooo sweet and a lovely message), and now I'm reading Remember Me, which is hilarious, and I was up 'til 2 in the morning, last night, reading that... and the Sophie Kinsella book that got me started on her boks was her brand new book, I've Got Your Number, which I couldnt put down, was so funny and sooo sweet... fantastic summer reads, for sures! And then I went to the library and ordered in (though the Inter-Library Service, which is a fantastic feature for all libraries) all the rest of the Sophie Kinsella novels -- so now I've got all the Shopoholic series, and am loving these lovely wee reads!!

I've included this link to an article on The Butler, Gabriele, and the situation at The Vatican... is pretty scary, to think of real live intrigue really happening at the Vatican, but I suppose with that level of wealth and power, it's definitely a real possibility.... a real life mystery, to be sure! At the very least, happy summer reading! Ailsa : )

#TheBachelorette: #Emily Loves... The Muppets! lol!

Oh, Emily... she's sooo sweet, and sooo pretty, and sooo nice (did you find yourself saying over and over again, oh, wow, Emily's soo pretty... really, she's gorgeous, isn't she? Did she have her nose done?? And maybe a boob job?? Hahahaha! Funny how that's where you go, now, when you see someone that beautiful, you're trying to figure out what's real and what is let's say, 'sculptured'! lol!) .... it's imperative she gets over that stooopid Brad and finds a new love, right?? Did you think she brought Brad Womack up waaay too many times, last night? And did you happen to catch those little clips, last week, one where Emily says how she and Brad are still great friends, he wishes her all the best, blah, blah, blah, then they show a clip of stooopid Brad, that slow-talkin' heart-breaker (now who would break Emily's heart?? that's not right!), saying he doesn't care at all?? WTF?? What's that all about? so it's disconcerting when they show Emily out with these very nice fellows, so many of them real gentlemen (not all of them -- that one who flew in on the helicopter -- yuuuck!! Is he a momma's boy, or what?? hahahahaha! And sooo full of himself... noooo, not good for our sweet Emily!! Run, Emily, Run!! lol!)

But, man, is this the BEST Bachelorette, yet?? And not just because all the guys REALLY want Emily, which is hilarious... was such a shame in the last Bachelorette with Ashley (I hope she found love, poor wee thing!), where they took 6 guys off at a time (let's get this show over with-style...), none of them really cared, must have been low ratings, and the guys would all hang out together, have a great time, not too worried whether they were going on group dates or not... no, you go, no, no, go ahead, take my place.... nope, you don't see that on Emily's season of The Bachelorette!! hahahaha!

And The Muppets! Was hilarious! We laughed so hard -- usually we're just laughing at all the crazy sh*t that happens on these shows, but last night's Bachelorette was truly funny -- The Muppets killed, man! Was hilarious! Miss Piggy and Kermie... sooo cute!

So, these guys are hilarious... I looved the guy, a mere 41 years of age, with only 6 (SIX!!!!) kids at home (really, I thought he was kidding when he said this to Emily... I would have burst out laughing if some guy said that to me -- what on earth is he doing on a dating show with SIX kids at home... and where's the wife?? Is she an ex-wife, that you spent enough time with that you were able to procreate SIX times, and now she's gone? Only possible reasonable explanation is something terrible, and I canny bring myself to type that in, but the hair on the back of my arm goes up -- and, nooo, there's not a LOT of hair on the back o' me arm, thank you very much! lol! -- when I hear a man say he is on his own with the kids, especially that many kids, raises an immediate Red Flag... I went through an absolutely horrendous custody battle when my daughter was young, and I know the possible circumstances where men might get custody... but I've come to learn over this past few year that not all women are great mothers... I thought we all were loving and caring... I hope there was a legit reason for that DAD to be on the show... but there's usually a pretty good reason when people don't stay together when there's a child (or SIX lol!) in the picture... be careful, little Emily! Dinny choose a Bad One!!

So far, I like Arie, the race car driver, and Emily might go for that type, you know, given her past... and I like that Football guy (although, truth be told, I ALWAYS like the Football Guy!! hahahahahaha! Little joke to keep myself amused, right there! hahahaha!) But I canny reember his name, so that's not that good, since I'm pretty good with names... we both liked Charlie -- Cara really likes Charlie... poor guy, workin' his way back from a debilitating accident. (I da cynic, though, and made quite a few jokes about that movie with Steve Martin and Michael Caine, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels... remember that scene where Steve Martin's character says, "I wish I could dance"...and Michael Caine's German character starts dancing right in front of him?? lol! Was reminiscent of that! Bt, no, Charlie seems like a lovely fellow, but maybe not quite right for Emily... this show is a great opportunity to meet other women, though, so maybe some lovely ladies will see Charlie on The Bachelorette and have a soft spot for him, be gentle with him as he recuperates...

Oooh, and I like that Sean fellow, too -- reminded me of our old Carpenter, Trevor (soo cute!). (And a great carpenter! lol!) He seems really down to earth. It's terrible that the fellow who went to the Grand Hotel with Emily, and put his little wishes in the clock, 'n everything (that was sooo sweet... should try that! lol!), didn't have a good 5 Year Plan, except to be happy... and that's not easy, to Be Happy. Ruh-roh, did he not do his homework?? Didn't he know he HAS to say, married with children??? Maybe even, happily married with children??? hahaha! Pretty funny that he was from LA, and as soon as I saw that, I immediately thought, uh-oh, a flake.... it's just that there are soo many guys in LA who don't have any plan to get married.... and that's all Emily wants, to get married and have more sweet little babies... so normal, so nice!

Hahahaha! Makes me laugh, just thinking if I even HAVE a 5 Year Plan... I'd be thrilled to be happy for five straight years, and maybe even beyond??? Would be a miracle!! But I'm not at the baby-making stage, any more... would if weren't soo dangerous and slightly crazy for me, but that's just because me loooves da sweet little babies, so I totally get where Emily's coming from.... and I love that she just puts it all out there -- have no idea why ANY man would be surprised that almost any woman wants to get married and have babies, at that stage in her life.... is a no-brainer, right?? Silly men. Tricks are for kids! lol!

So I hope Emily finds real love on The Bachelorette, this time around. Would be so nice to see her happy, and truly fulfilled -- oh, and I want to see why she threw something and actually broke it, in next week's episode -- man, you've gotta be a bit looney to actually throw something, and break it -- hope there's a really good reason, or are those Warning Bells I hear, or are they just Wedding Bells?? hahaha! Go find you some great love in your life!! And make sure you're having fun!! lol! Ailsa

#Lucky 4 Leaf Clover! Make a Wish! #Wish #MakeaWish #WinPrizes! #Contests #GoodLuck! : )#FortuneCookies! #FridayThe13th (A LUCKY Day!)

Make a Wee Wish for Yourself!!

Remember when you are entering any contest, or prize thing, make sure you answer all the questions - this is on any form that you ever fill in, and make sure you follow the instructions to a 't', so for sure you're entered - makes a big difference - some people make a living off of contests - exciting! Can you imagine? Are you imagining it, right now - lol! Me, too! : )

What a great idea! That would totally increase your odds of winning big, baby! : )

I am obsessed, and I mean obsessed, with 4 Leaf Clovers! lol! I love them. I adore them. If I see a batch of clovers, I am compelled to go over and peruse the patch, so-to-speak, until I find one! Soo funny! I've been like this since I was really little, and I sometimes like to collect an odd number of them depending on how much leisure time I have while I'm looking for Four Leaf Clovers! lol!), so if I have 3 four leaf clovers, or 5 four leaf clovers... when we lived in Calgary, for some reason or another, we had sooo many 4-leaf clover patches on our acreage, I'd come in the house with 11 four leaf clovers at a time... oh, yes, can you imagine the level of luck, that day??? hahahaha! (I kidding! Not much gettin' lucky back in those days! lol!)

I thought this particular Four Leaf Clover was really pretty -- I just found it when I was out for a walk in the morning, yesterday... is very peaceful and pretty down at the Bay, first thing in the morning. (That's the Bay of Quinte in the background! lol!) Oh, and I see a wee duck made his way into the picture, too! haha! Those ducks, always tryin' to steal the spotlight! lol! : )

In case you wished for more Money! : )

Ooh, this is soo cool - have you ever tried, or thought of trying, Day Trading? Is so cool - I used to be obsessed (I see that word has come up, twice, now - lol!) with GeoThermal Companies - I really feel like there is some Big Money in Geothermal Stock - good to watch out for, and other alternative Fuel Stocks, too, but usually, when it comes to Stock Trades, you choose what you like, yourself, so, if you loove candies, you might look at See's Candies, see if they are trading publicly (I'm not sure, but I do really love their candies! lol!). If you love diamonds - ooh, especially the man-made diamonds - that's a very cool 'new' area to explore, you could have a look at that... Oil is down, right now, but it's always fluctuating, and the key to Day Trading is to get in, get out, and you can, quite frankly, make a ton of money with Day Trading... just be careful, think about what you're doing, try your hand at it - let me know how it goes for you! Me hopes you makes a lot o' da money!!
