Lady Grey

Casio Women's Baby-G Grey Jelly Shock Resistant Sports Watch #BG169-8V
$79.95
I have worn Timex Ironmans for about as long as I can remember. I wanted a change, my huband has always touted a giant G-shock for as long as I can remember, so I stepped off the ledge.
What a waste of time money and energy!
1) This watch is not intuitive; you can't simply zap through it and figure it out-- thou shalt break out manual or you will NEVER be able to even set it.
2) Strap & watch body-- It'd been more comfortable if I had built the thing out of an old frozen orange juice can
3) Mobil icons; spinning globe and flickering whale make me want to sink this thing to the bottom of the ocean! When the minute changes the digital numbers do this rapid change over thing-- ANNOYING TO NO END!
4)Horrible to do any recalls/ laps etc; getting to the splits etc is like talking to the IRS.

On the plus and the only reason it gets a star-- the built in face guards are great especially if you are really active and prone knocking your watch on things like a door frame as you turn a corner-- oh, and you can set so you know how many days you've owned it.
Yuck... what a disappointment.

Twinings Lady Grey Tea, Loose Tea, 3.53-Ounce Tins (Pack of 6)
$32.06
Probably my favorite tea. Lady Grey is similar to Earl Grey, the bergamot is subtler but it still has plenty of flavor. I prefer loose tea over tea bags with strings. Lady Grey in the tin is VERY hard to find. As I much as I love it, a 6 pack is a LOT of tea, I wish I could buy individual tins.

ALO Women's Micro Fleece 1/4 Zip Pullover,Red/Grey,Large
$89.00
The shirt is very cute,but I have to agree that it does run very small. Based on the sizing chart i was to get an XL. This was pretty snug on me (5'9 195 lbs). It wasn't so tight I couldnt wear it however, and my husband said it looked nice. The material is very soft. This will definitely be one of those air dry shirts, as putting it in the dryer will make it too small to wear. :(

Innocent Traitor: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey
$14.95
Before this book, I didn't know much about Jane Grey. I knew that she was beheaded but I had only read bits and pieces about her when she happened to pop up in other stories. I didn't know anything about her childhood until now. Innocent Traitor was a fantastic book to bring her story to life for me.

Weir does a remarkable job of bringing back to life people from such a different time. The story is written in the first person (in the Reader's Guide Weir states that she did this to differentiate this story from her nonfiction works) from the point-of-view of multiple people. Usually it bothers me to jump between various views of extremely different people but Weir wrote this wonderfully and the diverse voices easily flowed.

It always fascinates me how hope manages to overtake me even if I know the ending to a story. It doesn't matter that I know Romeo and Juliet die at the end; there is always that little part of me that hopes somehow they will manage to run off together. The same was true with this story. I knew the fate of Jane Grey, even if I didn't already know it the story opens with her in the Tower of London after she receives her death sentence, but throughout the whole book I continuously wonder if she might change the ending of her story. I rode a rollercoaster of hope, wondering how she got from various chapters to the Tower, always thinking that maybe the next decision would be the one that actually saves her life. It is a fascinating story, wonderfully told by Weir and I recommend it to anyone interested in how Jane Grey's story ended the way it did.
