Comment on Updating so you won’t worry that I’ve fallen down, hit my head, and been eaten by my cats by cagey

This is why I love my feed reader. When you decide to begin posting again, my reader will pick up it. So, you won’t be losing me as a reader. ;-)

A little known secret about having two kids is that they play with each other. When we are home, they are entertaining themselves these days. Not that I am saying you need to get to work on birthin’ another baby.

Hang in there – anyone keeping up with you realizes that yes, you have had a helluva few months.

Be kind to yourself, D.

I had similar visions of Future Me, so the 50 books thing is more of an unofficial goal. And for me, there’s nothing better than a nice, involved loooong novel, so I know it might not work out, especially since November and December pretty much disappear into the abyss that is Thanksgiving and Christmas, which leaves me 8 1/2 months to finish 46 books. So we’ll see how it goes. I just started The Help, and I’m enjoying it so far. I’m on Goodreads, but I’m terrible about updating there. I’ll friend you there, nevertheless. :) And I’ll definitely check out the book club online, it will be interesting to see what others have to say about the book.

I did not see the meme, but I did consider trying to read 50 books this year. Then, I saw a Future Me, rushing through books, not enjoying them just so she could get to that goal of 50. And even worse, I could see Future Me turning down some big, long reads all for the sake of the Goal. I decided to ramp it down a notch, because I really want to read some Dickens and more John Irving this year – and those are commitments.

I am currently reading The Help and it is really engrossing – not necessarily shocking or enlightening because I think the material has been covered extensively between other books, movies and television, but still – I am really enjoying this read. Also, am reading the Memory of Running and I am finding it less compelling. Bah.

I am pretty faithful with Goodreads – are you my friend there? If not friend me, please. I would like to see what you are reading. And and – there is an online book club called Book Lushes on Ning – check it out. It is pretty fun to have a forum where others discus their reads.

I just read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on Sunday in one sitting. In my chair. In Kansas. Heh.

D., Happy New Year to you, too!!

I love you friend. Not sure what has been going on there the last couple of weeks, but I wish I were closer to help out. I miss and love you very much and if you ever need ANYTHING, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Comment on Recycled Crayons by AlexandrIa

Alexandra,
Call a local elementary and ask for broken crayons. Or call restaurants who give out crayons to kids and ask for their old ones.

Now you have a green way to do this.
