Oh man.. I feel so weird. I've been taking benadryl for my swollen arm (courtesy of a yellow jacket) and I feel really drowsy, dazed and "Energyless." It is very strange...

Since there are some many book lovers that visit this blog, whats everybody's favorite genre?

Actually, I believe that the quote about opening your mouth is by Mark Twain. See here: http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/369.html

*ahem* I'm glad I thought to do the search on it before I just yelled out your error...I knew it wasn't Lincoln, but I thought it was Benjamin Franklin. Us two, you know, we're geniuses. :)

Funny! I'll have to call Elijah to read the Mark Twain quotes- ever since I had him read the unabridged Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn he's been a Mark Twain fan. His all-time favorite Mark Twain quote?
"Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates..."
- Mark Twain in Life on the Mississippi
Haha..
