From An Island Life: In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, visit An Island Life answer the question and then post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
  My question is:
      (thinking that today’s question involves the Olympics, I do not want to duplicate)
Its winter, if you could be anywhere, where would you be? 
  My answer:
Aruba Radisson…our(hubby and me) favorite vacation spot.  Would be on the beach with a frozen Pina Colada and a good book.  Calgon Take Me Away (lol for those that remember)

And…here we go!
1. Johnny Weir, if memory serves me right, was a gold medal athlete.
2. I haven’t been watching the 2010 Olympics.
3. And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud is a saying I never heard.
4. If it doesn’t hurt anyone, go for it, if you get an urge.
5. Having sweet dreams are a lot better than nightmares.
6. What does it take for people to be kind to each other?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to possibly watching the Olympics with hubby, reading during commercials, tomorrow my plans include doing some housework, laundry, computer & blogging items, reading and Sunday, I want to RELAX & READ!

Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.

* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST

**Leave a comment here with a link to your site(if you don’t have a blog, list your finds here) so others may see the blogs you have found.
  (This is how I found the blogs that I have been following, by clcking on someone’s blog roll and my list kept growing.  I read an article that there are quite of few book blogs out there and like books, there are never too many good blogs…how I came to creating “Thursday Treasure”.  Would you like to find more good blogs and join in on the hunt.  Fo to my Memes tab and check it out)
  This week my hunt for new book blogs was via Kathy’s blog roll at Bermudaonion Blog Site (http://bermudaonion.wordpress.com/)  I found 3 “new” to me sites that I look forward to reading and commenting on in the future.  Thank you Kathy for having these on your list.

Have a great Thursday !!!!! 

  Wanted to share a giveaway that I read in one of my morning newsletters BUT you have to promise one thing….that one of the copies is mine (lol)  Karen at Bookin’ With Bingo( http://bookinwithbingo.blogspot.com) is giving away 10 copies…..thats right ….10 copies of Still Life by Joy Fielding.  I started reading her books many many years ago and  was never disappointed that it would be a good read.  So if you like suspense…head on over there BUT don’t forget…one copy is mine LOL.
  Also there is a new challenge that I am going to sign up for.  Via A Novel Challenge Blog, she posted about this new challenge that Reading With The Sea is hosting (http://readingwithsea.wordpress.com/challenges)  Its a 50 book challenge, just in case, the 100+ isn’t completed for one reason or another.  And they can overlap !!!!!  So I’m heading that way after this post. 
  I will then go on my hunt for new blogs “Thursday Treasure” meme for tomorrow.  If interested in this meme, check out my Meme Navigation Tab for criteria.  Since I don’t have any words for Wondrous Words Wednesday hosted by Bermudaonion Blog, I am thinking of checking out her blog roll to find new blogs for me.
  Looks like I have a few puter items to take care of so I better get going, especially since I have been up most of the night, and will probably fall asleep on my keyboard.  I never thought I would say “I wish this surgery was sooner”!!!  Last night was awful…the pain kept waking me up and I just couldn’t get comfortable.  Now on to today’s meme and then off to take care of business.  Have a great day!!!!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
