If I could have any super power in the world, I'd have to say I would go with the one pretty much anyone in a long distance relationship not so secretly wishes for: Teleportation!
How nice would that be - the problem would be solved! Stay home during the day, get to keep my house, my job, and stay close to my family then boom, after work and picking up the boy, teleport up north and sleep up there with my favorite boys who don't live with me! Then when I wake up in the morning, just come on back. No more expensive plane tickets or annoying security checks at the airport. No more stressing over how to end the distance. No more fears about upsetting family if I have to move away.
Yes, this is probably a bit of a selfish desire, but I would also try and use it for good - such as helping teleport others to be with their loved ones for special moments!

Sabrina-Super Strength!
If I had a super power, I think my first choice (although a VERY hard one) would have to be SUPER STRENGTH!
With this power there is so much I could do!
First of all, I would use my power for good.
I think I would definitely keep this power a secret from most for as long as I could. There are a VERY select few who I would tell. I wouldn't want the world to know. I wouldn't want to be a science experiment or a celebrity figure. OR even a super hero. As much as I would love to help everyone there isn't a way for people to know of my powers without everyone worrying about how I'll use them, or how I got them, etc.
I'm going to have to admit that super speed and ice power were very close seconds next to super strength.
As much as I'd like it a kept secret I could see it eventually leaking out to everyone. If someone needed help and I was there and could use my super strength to help them then I would, and if the situation was in front of the public then I'm stuck with people seeing it and then I guess the secret would be out, BUT if I had super speed then I would help out and get out of there as soon as possible and no human eye would witness it because I'd be so fast!
So as much as I would probably choose super strength in the long run, it would be VERY hard to just settle with that without thinking of a few other choices I could pick. If I could have super strength and super speed then I'd be very happy with that choice.

Krista - Can I get a witness?
The topic this week is kind of a fantasy - and I'm going to be honest and tell you straight forward I've had a hellacious week and I'm not the most imaginative. So here's the setup:
You are now in the witness protection program... What is your new name? Where are you relocating? What did you witness? Who is coming with you?
Let's pretend for a moment that I've caught on to some massive conspiracy plot to overthrow the government by using cheese. Why cheese? Why not. Needless to say, my information places me in mortal danger while we wait for the legal process to conclude and I'm taken into protective custody.
Since we're going ridiculous here, my new name will be the same as my porn name (you know, where you take your first pet's name and the street you grew up on? Not an actual porn name - freak!) - Brandy Avilez. I know, it's kind of hot.
Naturally my son is coming with me. Can't leave him behind. And I'm going to tell them they have to take Geoff and his son along for the ride. Rest of the family; I'll contact you through those secure ways they show in the movies as I am able. Sorry! There's too many of you.
If you know me at all, you are aware of my distinct hatred of cold weather so naturally I'll be sent to live in some cold place that doesn't exist - like North Dakota, where I will be forced to become a housewife and learn to make knick knacks at home which I will pray to be featured on Regretsy.
I am really, really glad none of this would ever happen though!
What's your story?

Ha. I read this topic and had to laugh. I don't remember the last time I picked up a book to read. And I was an English teacher. This is something I really need to get back into and start once again. From this blog entry I will inspire myself to pick up a book this week and get into the habit once again. :)

Krista - Survivor In Death
I am totally out of new books right now so I've been thumbing through some old favorites.
The last book I read cover to cover was Survivor In Death by Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb. I love this series. I am completely addicted. I have read every single one of the entire series and own the majority of them.
The series is set in the future and it revolves around a Lt. Eve Dallas, her insanely rich husband Roarke and their various friends and associates. They are all murder mysteries as Dallas is a homicide cop. There's always a good twist and it's easy to pick up any one of them and jump into the series.
Survivor in Death is a story about a nine year old girl who gets out of bed in the middle of the night just in time to avoid being murdered along with the rest of the family. It's a little sad, but full of adventure and once Dallas catches onto the suspect(s) trail, you're totally hooked to find out why this poor family ended up killed.
I would recommend this one, along with all others to anyone who likes a good murder mystery.

Ryan- Reading...
OK, so, I have to apologise first.
I don't seem to be doing to well following the schedule- life seems to be getting in the way. Ive been working non stop and this past weekend had my aunts funeral, so it has been a very rough few weeks.
Anyways- Reading...
I'm not a huge reader..and when I DO read, it's always in the same genre. I always read books that are true- usually true crime or about WWII and the Holocaust. Things that are of great interest to me ( call me weird, but I think there's so much to learn).
The last book I read I honestly don't remember the name. I rented it from the library and it was about 6 children that went through the Holocaust- Kind of like a short version of Anne Frank but with 6 people and not 1. Its a bunch of diaries. It was so good.
I've been reading Helter Skelter now for quite some time, but can never seem to finish it lol its a very big book and i'm a slow reader... hopefully one of these days i'll finish it!

Sabrina-Love Reading!!
The last book I read was started and finished this past Friday. It's called Hit List by Laurell K Hamilton. The book is part of a series (the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series). I have read the whole series, and this was her newest book which just came out.
As far as the book goes, it was rather short. I was a little disappointed in the length of the book and expected a little more out of it, but all and all I liked it.
As the series goes I love it. There are a few books that I was a little disappointed in compared to others. Also some of the books could have cut out the sexual scenes, but regardless I still love the series. I can't wait to read the upcoming books from this series as they aren't finished yet. I wish I wouldn't have found out about the series until they were all published since it seems to take forever for the next book to come out. Since it takes so long to come out, I get involved with other series and books and sometimes get confused between a few different series.
Now as I wait for the next book in Hamilton's series I shall find another interesting book to read. Have any suggestions? Let me know of a good book or two.

Krista - Weakness
So on the flip side to last week's blog topic, today we are here to discuss my weaknesses. It's funny how I seem to be able to come up with these far more easily than I did with last week's topic. Maybe it is because we are all our own worst critics.
I'm stubborn and never like to admit to being wrong.
I get overwhelmed and then procrastinate on doing things I really should just get done.
I hate playing games where I won't win. I'm an awful loser.
I'm an Irish redhead, so I have a temper. If you catch me at the wrong time, you really won't like me. Plus, I'm a Cancer & we're known for our mood swings!!
Sarcasm is a second language to me, which doesn't always come off in the best light when trying to communicate.
I tend to expect better out of people than I really should, then get upset when they fail to follow through.
I tend to care too much sometimes about situations or people I shouldn't. Remember that whole I love you for life thing from last week? This is where that gets to be a bad thing.
And if I tell you much more about the bad sides of me you'll all hate me!
I tend to see a lot of things in black and white, which is great for strong convictions but not great when I am trying to learn to compromise.
I'm sure if you know me, you can add to the list all sorts of other flaws.
So go for it :)

Sabrina-Tired Of the Flaws
I have a few weaknesses. One of my main ones right now is getting me very worried and making me definitely want to change my ways.
I just got enrolled into this great program. It's cheap (compared to anything else) and it's what I've been wanting to do. The program is 10 months long (approx) and I will help me become a Dental assistant. As great as all this sounds, I'm super nervous because I've had a problem with sticking to college. I have dropped out a few different times, and I'm ticked at myself for it. I want to stick with this, but I know it'll be hard and something I need to do for myself. I'm tired of being a flake with school and want to finally stick with it. It's odd because I love school and I did pretty well in high school, but I can't seem to stick with college. I'm hoping my determination to stick with it this time around stays, and I finally succeed! This is my greatest fear and weakness right now.
I'm also scared of needles/shots. they are definitely a weakness of mine. i try to avoid them at all costs. ALSO, this course I'm doing requires me to get TB tested and make sure I'm updated on all my shots (which means I'll probably have to get shots) and as far as I'm concerned if I'm willing to get shots, then I can definitely sit through school!
Besides my fear of needles and my weakness of flaking on school, I'm also scared to fail. Fail at school. Fail at life basically. I need to keep positive about things and yet I always have a tendency to think of the negative too, which is both good and bad I guess. My weakness is I don't have faith in myself as much as I should have.
Another weakness of mine is Kyle. My boyfriend, my love, my life. He is someone besides my dad and brother that I wake up for everyday of my life. Their opinions of my actions are my weaknesses too. I always set out to please them with everything I do. When I fail, I'm not only failing myself, but them as well and that really hurts me more. Hopefully this will help me finally succeed.
