Book Club Books
Andrea had asked about book club books on Twitter, and since I have a list of books, I thought I would post, even though she was mostly asking M. (Is it butting in when the post is on Twitter ( Read more... ) -
A little bit of everything
Been cutting back on various commitments, per doctor's orders.
Haven't been sick for a whole 5 days. :) Let's hope I get a bit more of a run going, but I'll take 5 days at this point. (Serial colds alternating with stomach flus almost continually since November.)

Robin Hood
Things in my life have been too complex and serious and sad to post about. I might someday. I might not. BUT, tonight I went to see Robin Hood, and i had to share with y'all ( Read more... ) -
Weather, again
I know, I know. I'm like some well-bred Regency miss who is so insipid that all she can talk of is the weather.
But you must see this:

So, here is the real finished product, the only real change is on the front cover.

Ethan's award (warning--Mommy Bragging)
I just opened Ethan's "President's Award for Educational Excellence" (must score "Advanced" on either LA or Math part of standardized test--Ethan got it in both, and maintain an A- average for the entire 5th grade year) and in addition to the certificate there is a letter from Barack Obama. I know it's a copy, but I was really touched and I don't ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Get It to Go
In England, it was Indian (of course)--tandoori chicken breast/veggies and naan and raita--kind of an Indian burrito because I ate it all rolled up.
Now, Indian gives me a tummy ache, so it's probably Zachary's Deep Dish Pizza with artichoke hearts, onions, and mushrooms. Which, oddly, does not give me a tummy ache if I control myself.
