Happy Thanksgiving to my book friends. I hope you all had a special day.

they repeat them alot of times. I don't think Mercy is on tonight so maybe I'll check out what is on Lifetime. oh just remembered something with the biggest loser is on. I only watched the first 1/2 of the show last night and didn't feel like taping when I went over to watch dwts.

Nancy, I agree the Lifetime movies are the greatest. I try and watch as many as I can when they are on. The holiday ones I watch every year and some of the ones I seen I can even rewatch. It doesn't bother me to watch the same ones. And some are real tearjerkers.

I'm behind on my Harris books. Need to catch up.

It looks like the NJ housewives will be on mercy next week going by the coming attractions. It looks like one of them is supposed to be a wife of a fireman that is having an affair with one of the nurses and the nurse doesn't know he's married. This week they showed him after he was leaving her talking to the wife on the cell. So it looks like the wife says something to the nurse at a bar next week. I'm sure a table will get turned over.

I think Ott lights are what they told me in needlepoint are being discontinued. Not sure but if those are the lights that fold up and down and can sit on a table I think those are it. She even told me the reason why it was happening. I'll have to double check the next time I go to see if they are the same ones or not.

I liked Mercy because I htought for me it was a good replacement or close to one for ER. I talked to my sister and was telling her about what I was told in the dentist office and started to tell her about Mercy she doesn't like the show but she might watch the show with the housewives I seem to thing the bar they will have the show in is my bil's cousin. Since Housewives taped there in the past I said if he calls the cousin to find out but he probably won't. And she read which hospital Mercy is supposed to be it's a real one. It's in Northern NJ not south she said but couldn't remember where it's supposed to take place.

I love Mercy didn't realize it was set in NJ that's weird. It said awhile back in my sister's paper that Mercy was already not renewed for the new season. When Mercy is on tonight I'll have to watch if they show outside again.

Thanks for letting us know. Will have to remember to tape it tomorrow night if I'm around.
More Gossip for NJ. I was at the dentist yesteray and was telling them the new info I know. Someone there told me that they no longer go to the beauty parlor in FL. Now they go to the one in Wayne. Which I know where that was in too. I used to go to a part of it when it was just makeup they the makeup place went over to the Beauty parlor. So who knows if the new place will be on this season. I was also told more info about Dina and her husband. For some reason I think someone told me that someone in the dentist office is related to one of the housewives family but i can't remember who said it and who it was. Maybe I'm wrong and it was someone else that is related to them. I was also told that Dina's daughter goes to school in that town and it could have been hard for her in school and what happened.

On friday Regis and Kelly did the costume thing and Kelly dressed up as Theresa and she took the place in the restaurant scene and Kelly did the Teresa table flip it was perfect she looked like her and everything and even had the same way of talking. Well good thing they didn't have anything she could turn at the pumpkin place. I forgot to ask my niece today when I was at her house if the other kids were with her or not. But maybe one was in school or maybe the baby was not with her. Who knows. My sister said she sure waited to the last minute for her pumpkins.

More gossip. My niece went on a daycare class trip with Robbie (her son) on thursday to a pumpkin place. She said there was this women screaming at her 2 kids to get in the car she wanted to go home. My niece said she wasn't happy and she was doing alot of screaming. Who was it? Theresa and two of her two kids. When she finally got in the car and pulled away she's driving a Masarati (sp?).
I have to keep my eyes open at the supermarket because it's the same one she would most likely go to unless she doing the thing that you can email your order in and pick it up at the door. Or she goes out of the way to a different store.

And they say Danielle is bringing someone on with her. So it could mean she has a man in her life. But didn't didn't say.

Well finally got to see Theresa's house yesterday. We went to the zoo and on the way back my brother in law and Sister took me past the house. It's not even 5 minutes away from their street in the opposite direction than I am.
As my sister said it's very ornate. And in the front is large pilars I really didn't notice what type. Gates of course and it's down along driveway that is real open on both sides. And house sits way back almost looks like it's set back against the mountains but I'm sure it's just trees that surround the side and back. A big circular driveway with fountains in front. If you remember from seeing the house on the show maybe once it's a chateau. I didn't really pay attention if there was cars in front or anything we went back so fast. I didn't realize it was so close to the main road so now that I know where it is I can take a drive myself when I go in that direction. It's really a small winding road it's on. There was also a article my sister had me read in her newspaper that they say that there was rumors going around that the house is in foreclosure but it's not that house Theresa and her family are living there and it said that it's property that she has in my sister's town that it's so small that her bedroom is bigger than it (that is what Theresa said in the article) another article said that the new season is starting to shot already and they are not saying anyone besides Danielle, Theresa and Dina's sister (forgot her name) is set to be in it so far. Dina and Jacqueline they don't know as of yet. Dina they said the reason might hae something to do with the problems of last season or her husband not wanting to be in it in the past.

If I can finish the borrowed Picking Cotton book I might try and get to Girl wiht a Dragon Tattoo.

I haven't started the Oprah read yet I found it yesterday in a bag when I was going though some bags of books so pulled it out and put it on the end table to start picking up. It's going to be one of those books I'll pick up when I don't know what I feel like but want something different. After what you all say about it here who knows what I'll think. I'll let you know when I read one of the stories. I'm reading a borrowed copy of Picking Cotton-Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, Ronald Cotton with Erin Torneo. As explained to me it's about a girl in college who gets raped picks out the guy in a lineup then it turns out I believe years later he's not the guy and it's their story. I started it read 50 some pages and try not to read it at night because worried it might keep me awake at night. But I want to read it because the person that lent it to me said it's so good. She had just gotten it back from another person I know who enjoyed it and scared her because I believe that is where her daughter is going to college.

I didn't realize Orange County was starting already will have to check the tv for listings. So I can fit that in and not for sure tape my usual show.

Let me know what you think of Swimsuit. My sister is reading it now and she wants me to start my copy of Sail by Patterson which I haven't gotten too yet. I usually don't like reading a authors books one after the other I finished 11th hour by Coutler yesterday and I'm still reading The End of the Alphabet by Richardson which is a strange little book but it should go fast. I played with books in my one room before and found a few books that I was looking for so pulled them out closer. Next month's read too which I knew I had. So I might end up reading that with you. I'm going to get some reading done when I get offline when I'm finished on good reads. We had the first northeastern yesterday and not far up the highway from here had snow my sister and brother in law went to my niece's last night and going over the hill there was snow on the ground. ugh. She's worried about her plants at the shore outside. Doesn't look like we are going down tomorrow for the breast cancer walk on sunday between the northeaster that is coming this weekend and a bad back she has I don't think it will happen. Alot has to happen between today and tomorrow with how she feels and the weather. Don't want to see this weather yet. Last thursday we had flips flops on at the shore. How fast it changes.

I finished Swimsuit by James Patterson earlier in the week and now trying to finish 11th hour by Catherine Coulter.
Trying to get though magazines and do some catching up with them. Worked on putting more on the end table from the magazine basket before and going though articles I ripped out of magazines so now that is alittle more organized.
After good reads I'm going to get back to reading today.

I'm stopping the borders book club book Poe Shadows just can't get though it and not enjoying it and the club meeting is thursday night. Still reading Eleventh hour by Catherine Coulter and started The Grand Finale by Janet Evanovich but have to stop those because picked up a reserved book Swimsuit by James Patterson.

I like Nathan Fillon anyway he used to be on our soap and it was back when I watched it with my mom everyday. He's always been very good looking. It's funny that now every once in awhile they bring him back on the show and he's Father Joey (he's a priest now on the show) He kind of left the show to go off on his own and I'm glad that he got castle now and is doing so well.
