MsJoanna - when you are ready, make your turn! Who would you like to reveal!?

:bananadance:

Well I will send out my reveal to zzz as my European person cause I am not sure who are from Europe.

Plus now that I see that poor sejent is at the end. I will send to someone else in the US just in case she might not check as much cause her turn is not due in ages. poor girlie :hug:
Better sent it to to many people than that you'll have to wait.

I've sent mine out to all the major time zones in this swap :lol:

Hey, it is the 25th where I am, so we can start! :giggle:

Ok, need to get my reveal together and send :)

ooh! Ooh! I get to go soon!
:bananacheer:

I am happy for you. :lol:

I also have a good spot now. In the middle. No more in front actually. :bananadance:

My reveal has been sent to sejent (US) Gypsy (Canada) zzz (Europe) and ... Cat (Australia)

Okay I am off to bed. Cant wait tot see what has been revealed when I wake up.

I'd like Lizabeth to reveal please.

Better put my reveal together....I'll send it out shortly.

ETA: :pm: sent to Lizabeth.

Oh dear, I need to send my reveal. :unsure:

*gasps*

I'm at the top of the list! I quite literally can't remember the last time I was at the top of the list in a swap. This is a big day for me!

Guess I'd better go assemble my reveal!

Yay we've started!! :bananadance:

Just checking in. Looks like I'm on a role for second to last. I'm playing in three swaps this week and so far I've been second to last in two of them. I hope I'm closer to the top of the third. It hasn't been posted yet, so I guess I'll find out soon.

I'll check back later. My reveal is out already. :wave:

Woo hoooooooo!!!!! Lotsa people playing!

Sent my reveal to Lauren!

:cry:

The randomizer sure does hate me lately. I think I've been in the bottom three for several swaps in a row and now I am last!!

Don't blame me, blame the randomizer! :shrug:

I'm here

Holy Cow...starting already? And I am already wanted?

Ok...I just got in from shopping all evening and haven't even put together my reveal (or eaten dinner :giggle: )

Let me see if I can do both.

Be back in a few.

:waiting:

Come on, nemesis! :lol:

My Book is Blood Brother: 33 Reasons My Brother Scott Peterson Is Guilty By Anne Bird


(This would be the cover if my book still had the dust jacket which it doesn't)

Book Description
What happens if, after being given up for adoption in childhood, you reestablish contact with your biological family -- only to discover that your newfound brother is a killer?
Anne Bird, the sister of Scott Peterson, knows firsthand.

Soon after her birth in 1965, Anne was given up for adoption by her mother, Jackie Latham. Welcomed into the well-adjusted Grady family, she lived a happy life. Then, in the late 1990s, she came back into contact with her mother, now Jackie Peterson, and her family -- including Jackie's son Scott Peterson and his wife, Laci. Anne was welcomed into the family, and over the next several years she grew close to Scott and especially Laci. Together they shared holidays, family reunions, and even a trip to Disneyland. Anne and Laci became pregnant at roughly the same time, and the two became confidantes.

Then, on Christmas Eve 2002, Laci Peterson went missing -- and the happy façade of the Peterson family slowly began to crumble. Anne rushed to the family's aid, helping in the search for Laci, even allowing Scott to stay in her home while police tried to find his wife. Yet Scott's behavior grew increasingly bizarre during the search, and Anne grew suspicious that her brother knew more than he was telling. Finally she began keeping a list of his disturbing behavior. And by the time Laci's body -- and that of her unborn son, Conner -- were found, Anne was becoming convinced: Her brother Scott Peterson had murdered his wife and unborn child in cold blood.

Filled with news-making revelations and intimate glimpses of Scott and Laci, the Peterson family, and the investigation that followed the murder, Blood Brother is a provocative account of how long-dormant family ties dragged one woman into one of the most notorious crimes of our time.

Yup - Me Too!! Guess we both better start sucking up to the great randomizer. :worship: :worship: :worship: Oh Great Randomizer!!

YOL - you're up! Do you want to :pirate: or :flasher: ?

Interesting book Liz... I'm curious what led to the path of a sister selling out her brother. Usually you see family members sticking by the criminal even if he/she is found to be guilty.

Irenic, reveal please! :)

WooHoo we have started :bananadance: This is great!

I have irenic's reveal if she times out off the site.

Does Anything Eat Wasps?: And 101 Other Unsettling, Witty Answers to Questions Y
by New Scientist

* How fat do you have to be to become bulletproof?

* Why do people have eyebrows?

* Why do pineapples have spines?

* How much does a head weigh?

* What affects the color of earwax?

* How quickly could I turn into a fossil?

Have you ever thought up a question so completely off-the-wall, so seemingly ridiculous, that you couldn't even find the courage to ask it? Maybe at the sports bar you were transported by the beauty of your beer to wonder, "How long could I live on beer alone?" Or, cycling through the park, you mused, "Did nature invent any wheels?" Or looking up at the night sky, you had a moment of angst, "What would happen if the moon suddenly disappeared -- if it were vaporized or stolen by aliens?"

Full of fun factlets, Does Anything Eat Wasps? is a runaway bestseller around the world. It celebrates the weird and wacky questions -- some trivial, some baffling, all unique -- and their multiple answers culled from "The Last Word," a long-running column in the internationally popular science magazine, New Scientist. Tackling the imponderables of everyday life, sparkling with humor, and bursting with delightful erudition, Does Anything Eat Wasps? is irresistibly entertaining and utterly engrossing.

So, go on. Put away your lab coat and your pencil -- science is fun again.

GateGypsy- you're up! Do you want to :pirate: or :flasher: ?

Thanks for revealing for me. I was rocking a screaming baby :cry: :bash:

Zosime, Xallroyx, Turtle, Cowgirl, Rubycanary, Candy, zzz, and Rebecca - could you please confirm that you have sent your reveal to someone please? :)

Do I get to see the screaming baby on Sunday? :lol:

How old is the screaming baby?

Noah is 1 month and 3 weeks old (according to the ticker in irenic's sig). I hope she posts more photos of her little angel soon! :wub:

You need to send your reveal out too missy!!

:neener:

Sorry Lauren! Got distracted by a new recipe to try for dinner. I'll send it out as soon as I finish eating. :blush:

No need to be sorry! :D

Enjoy your dinner first!!!

Aahh that is a little tiny screaming baby. Mine is a fourteen month screaming teething baby! :wub:

Dinner was great! I'm so glad I bought this cookbook.

I'm sending my reveal to Turtle, Ri, Boomda, Marlene and Veg. The page is loading very slowly, though. I hope it goes through. :unsure:

What did you make, zosime? I remember you're vegetarian and I'd love some good vegetarian recipes if you've got one to share!! :)

I made tofu Florentine from Veganomicon. It actually involved several recipes. I made home fries (potatoes, green pepper and onion), broiled tofu, and a cheesy sauce. Then you top the home fries with sauteed spinach and broiled tofu triangles, pour the cheesy sauce over the top (cheesy sauce vs. cheese sauce - it's a vegan cookbook) and top with some chopped tomatoes. Colorful and tasty. :)

Got your reveal zosime! :D
