School has more or less ended for me. I have to go in once in a while to pretend to do work, but essentially I will try to be as brain dead as I can for at about 2 months. Many would say that this won't be hard for me. I dismiss them.

I have already read a good book, The People of Sparks, the sequel to The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau. I am ( Read more... )

This means I finished my fancy-shmancy Christmas newsletter (made dozens of copies), cut out and wrote on the kids' school pictures (and stuffed then into envelopes), and then I wrote nice ( Read more... )

Hmm...Well, I've haven't seen Goblet of Fire yet. This is the first time I'm planning on taking one of my kids with me. We've read the series up to and including Goblet of Fire and my daughter is old enough IMO to see the film in the theatre. She's very, very excited. The last three movies I saw with my brother, which was fun. I have enjoyed ( Read more... )
