LOUIS XIII, PORN STARS AND TSUNAMI REMEMBRANCE

Newest random blog thing to do:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
Here's mine:
"It is known that for 13 of their 22 years of marriage Louis XIII and his queen, Anne of Austria, had no children, because the king was impotent."
- Strange But True by Thomas Slemen
Oh boy. In theory, its a great idea. In real life, it can be a little disappointing.
Sparkle went and got a book to add hers in:
"And talking to drunk guys on a nightly basis gets old fast."
How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, by Jenna Jameson
And why is Sparkle reading "How to Make Love Like A Porn Star" by Jenna Jameson? It happened on one of our trips to the book store, which she usually just suffers through. But this time she said "Mom, can I get a book?" and I kind of got all teary-eyed. My teenager wanted to buy a book! It was kind of like a Sylvan Learning Center moment. So anyway, I'm like "Yes Honey, of course you can get a BOOK!" and that's what she wanted.
Come to find out, Jenna Jameson is a porn star but she's a GOOD porn star, not an EVIL porn star. Whatever. I was told to just be happy she wants to read. Sparkle, that is, not Jenna Jameson. Maybe it will stimulate her interest to read about other more acceptable subjects.
Today Sparkle and I are going to have our own little ceremony in remembrance of the Tsunami victims. We bought a huge candle and I carved "155,000" on it to represent the victims. We'll say a prayer, light the candle and burn it down. It might take more than one day to burn down but that's okay. Here's a picture of the candle:
I know, my carving skills are about as good as my photography skills.
