Last week I reviewed "Chameleon" by Jillian Kent.
You can click on the cover to read my review.

This week I'm reading "The Captain's Daughter" by Jennifer Delamere.

When a series of circumstances beyond her control leave Rosalyn Bernay alone and penniless in London, she chances upon a job backstage at a theater which is presenting the most popular show in London. A talented musician and singer, she feels immediately at home and soon becomes enthralled with the idea of pursuing a career on the stage.

An injury during a skirmish in India has forced Nate Moran out of the army until he recovers. Filling his time at a stable of horses for hire in London, he has also spent the past two months working nights as a stagehand, filling in for his injured brother. Although he’s glad he can help his family through a tough time, he is counting the days until he can rejoin his regiment. London holds bitter memories for him that he is anxious to escape. But then he meets the beautiful woman who has found a new lease on life in the very place Nate can’t wait to leave behind.

For Valentine's Day, Laken made us Strawberry Cupcakes and practiced decorating with her icing tips she got for Christmas.  The icing was a bit soft leaving her disappointed with the outcome but they were delicious!

We're back from vacation and slowly getting back into a routine.  Actually  a new summer routine.  I have some difficulties with change and it takes me a while to get used to a change in routine.  I'll probably get used to it by the time school starts again.

This week we will be on the road and then at Disney World.  I have a feeling we'll be eating lots of burgers, fries, etc.

And ice cream, and fudge, and pastries, etc.  Oh, yeah!

Doug and I are going to have a evening out for just the two of us and are planning on going to Planet Hollywood for dinner.

Other than that, I have no idea :)
