Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost. This last week,… Read More >>
Last week we had book club. This month I was the host and we were discussing the book I selected called The Life Before Her Eyes by Laura Kasischke. It was one of the fastest reads we’ve had so far. The discussion was great! We had 9 of us there and everyone had an opinion.… Read More >>
We met last night for our book club to discuss “Freedom,” by Jonathan Franzen. We were missing half of our group, and sadly, none of us had time to finish this book before our meeting. It’s a bit lengthy, upward of 600 pages. I have to admit that I continued reading it today and am… Read More >>
Last week our book club met again – this time to discuss Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. While not exactly a new book, most of us had not read it yet. Our night started off with our host, Natalie, making the most yummy bruschetta I’ve ever eaten! Along with some Italian wine and cheese,… Read More >>
We had our 2nd book club meeting last Thursday. We have been reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I had already seen the Swedish film with subtitles (there is an American version coming up with Daniel Craig as the main male character) and already had a general idea of what the book would contain.… Read More >>
We had our first book club meeting and it was a huge success! Eight out of ten of us girls were able to make it to the meeting. Our first book was a doozie! It was Cleopatra A Life by Stacy Schiff. This is a non-fiction, best seller and the hardest book I have ever… Read More >>
Cory, Kerry, and I went to see The Christmas Sweater – A Return to Redemption this last Thursday night. It was a live presentation simulcast in over 400 HD theaters nationwide.

This last weekend my sister gave me a book to read that she had just finished for her book club. I’ve been waiting for her to give me The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch since I saw it on her shelf last month. Photo Courtesy: Amazon I’ll have to say, it was worth the… Read More >>
I watched Cory as he read Lone Survivor while on our recent camping trip. He’ll kill me for telling you that I watched his eyes fill up with tears, but I also heard him laugh out loud. I knew the story of Marcus Luttrell, so I decided I wanted to read the book, too. On… Read More >>
I read Skinny Bitch back in December/January and it surely boosted me to give up soda! However, the periodic movie theater soda is still a treat – I’ve not had any soda since January 4th. I’ve also cut back on coffee and any processed foods as best as I can. I’m not a vegetarian, which… Read More >>
