I read at least 44 books in 2009. 13 were for school, 10 were craft books, and one was a cookbook, which leaves 20 fiction books (two were large anthologies). Of course, this doesn’t include all the books I forgot to add into LivingSocial, but I think it’s a fairly accurate representation. There are 17 …keep reading

Last night we watched Pride & Prejudice again (one of the five movies that aren’t packed), and, as always, it was wonderful. Characters to love, characters to hate…. I think they picked the perfect actors/actresses for almost every part, the costumes are wonderful, and… the scenery is gorgeous. Who doesn’t want to visit England after …keep reading Right now, I get about 10 minutes of reading time before going to bed. I’m currently reading The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, which I received in a cup of tea and a book swap. It is so weird. It’s like sci-fi plus Jane Austen, set in 1985 England. Very trippy. Still haven’t really figured …keep reading PF Chang’s Double Pan-Fried Noodles (with beef) leftovers (cold) for lunch. With french vanilla Yoplait Light. And a mini Babybel Light (those little circles of cheese in wax you see at the store). Individually, they’re delightful. Together, however, not such a good idea (despite the fact that some combination of the above, with the leftover rotating …keep reading Confession: I love carbs. Adore them. They make me happy. I think the sugar types are my favorite, but grains in cracker form are right up there too. And bread, oh, bread, how wonderful you are. I’m quite fond of a few veggies too, like carrots and corn. Potatoes and white rice, while being nutritionally …keep reading Here’s the list of 25 books I came up with for Multicultural Education. If you remember, the assignment was to pick 25 books that focus on traditionally under-represented populations, and were appropriate for ages 10-18. It gets turned in tonight, so I should know by next week what my professor thinks of the list, but …keep reading We got tickets! Last night, a flier arrived in our mailbox informing us that the Guthrie Theater is currently showing Jane Eyre. After a brief discussion, I hopped online and bought tickets!
If you remember, Jane Eyre is the one that I saw last year from the BBC.
I liked it so much …keep reading This will probably be one of many short little posts today – I’ve got a back log of things to say from when my site was down. Of course, I’m also pretty busy at work today, so I’m not sure how much time I’ll have today to say any of them. Yum! At any rate… …keep reading I need to clean up some bookmarks I have scattered about Firefox, and figured that I could follow ’s example and just post a bunch of them at a time.
KathyHowe wrote this beautiful piece of prose today: I talked to my dad today. He’s wondering when I plan to get married again. Once again I am reminded I need to speak slowly to the elderly. I reminded him that it was my cervix that was removed. Not my brain. I thought that …keep reading Have you seen trailers for this movie yet? I just saw one this morning and… I can’t wait! Of course, it comes on the heels of watching The Devil Wears Prada last weekend where Anne Hathaway was really good. Or maybe just the movie was good and she was in it. Whatever. So, girls, we’re going, …keep reading Whenever I want to tell someone I’m feeling grouchy, or am a grouch (as is the case today), I always mistakenly type “grounch.” I really do like that word, grounch. Should come up with a meaning for it. Bonus points to the person with the best definition left in the comments. So I was reading up on WebMD about numerous things related to me (by the way, I think my back/neck pain is increasing, even after taking Advil – this is troubling), and ran across this article: “10 Tips to Get You Sleeping Again.” I’m including the tips here so that I can talk about …keep reading To drive me completely insane, that is. Whoever decided that all summer broadcast programming should be dedicated to reality television [link removed] should be shot. I detest reality television. Game shows are tolerable in small quantities, and that’s about it. The news doesn’t count. The rest of it… yech. …keep reading |
