Amazing 3D painting

Do you dare walk into this bathroom???

Where did time go???

Oh wow! I can't believe it took me 3 weeks to finished one book. When I was young, I used to finished one book in a matter of hours and 2 days is the longest.

The book that I read is part of a series of 6 books already... the first three [from the original author] is really a can't-put-me-down-books! I've read and re-read them and I still find it interesting.

The last three series, which were written by a different author already, is not as exciting as the first three. Still, reading one book for 3 weeks is a long time for me!!!

I wish I could find the time to read more...

Paintball.com

My almost teenage son is begging me to buy him a Tippmann paintball so that he can play with our neighbor. I said I will think about it and went on to find out what is a Tippmann and how much it is going to cost me.

Anyway, if you are planning to get one for your own kids, you might want to check out paintball.com. They've got some huge selection on their site.
