Wow! 1916

[wheelig]

I am stupid for not realizing this earlier, but I was just enjoying the book too much to do more than idly wonder about it. I am at chapter 48 of 1916, and I keep seeing these little superscript numbers after statements that seem like they might be based in fact

Isn't it cool! I'm at chapter 32 and its really gotten good! I'm really excited about all the different plots and how their advancing, especially Ned's life both in terms of career and girl choice. I was seriously worried for him for a while...

Here is the wikipedia article for Pearse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A1draic_Pearse)in case you haven't found it yet. Other than Gone with the Wind this is my first time reading historical fiction and I'm loving it! I love history so much - i can't believe I haven't explored this type of book til now. It's like watching a really good historical movie, but better.

That is so awesome about Dragon Age. That was nice of him! We were playing it over christmas break but got sidetracked. It's really fun!

Ty just got the phone with your dad. I'm SO glad it looks like he's going to be okay. I hope he takes good care of himself and doesn't rush back to work or anything. Just so glad he's alright....

I know, I'm like - come on, MARY? She's an asshole! Was that something like what you were thinking? Or did I just give something away? I think the story is at that point by 38

Asshole isn't a strong enough word for Mary. Ick ick ick. She was bad news town.It's really hard to get motivated for eating right in my opinion without exercising. I find that for me if I am seriously exercising I know my body needs good food and not the wrong amounts and I eat better. At least sometimes this works. Other times exercise will just give me the excuse to overindulge.

I think we'll both be home tonight. Ty will be doing home work most of today, but I bet he can take a break and we can all catch up! Have a good day!
