Don't worry, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. The worst thing is--I know we've done some bloggable stuff lately, but now I don't remember what all it was.
I'm going to have to cut my nails. I have always coexisted nicely with talons, but I'm not as used to them now and they are getting in the way of my typing. Not to mention learning how to play the guitar (the one languishing in the corner) which I said I would do while I had both girls in school.
Yesterday we went to the funeral of Justin's grandmother, Kathleen. It was a very nice family service. The most beautiful flowers too! I told Justin that now he needs to remember that I want the song Pardon Goddess of the Night played at my funeral and I want the exact flowers from his grandmother's funeral as well.
Books. OK, books on the brain here. Between reading like crazy (nothing new there) and the upcoming Book Fair at school. Whew! Books books and more books. I've read my first book by Janet Evanovich, Metro Girl. It was a fun read. I like how she writes just as I would talk. (but not in a rambling, lost track, got back on but had been so far off that nobody knows I'm back on, they just think I'm further off) I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series. My friend Karin loaned me Metro Girl and also a book by Jerrilyn Farmer called Killer Wedding. It was good, an enjoyable book, but didn't do tons for me. Wanna know the big one? Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. What a great book!! And it's the beginning of a new series!!!!! At first I thought, why is she starting a new series?? She already started a new series with Size 12 Is Not Fat and I need to read more of those. But after reading Queen of Babble I want more of those and she can just give up on her Heather Wells mysteries. Perhaps I feel more empathy for Lizzie the "queen of babble"? This is BabbleJoy talking here! Then again, Heather Wells spends a lot of time educating people that she does not work in a "dorm" but rather a "residence hall". sigh When will people learn??
Today is Audrey's class trip to the pumpkin patch. I should probably get showered and dressed so I can meet them there. Need to run some random errands too. And type and copy the PTA newsletter to go out to students tomorrow. Wish me luck!
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.

If you thought Metro Girl was good you should read One for the Money, Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly, Four to Score, High Five, Hot Six, Seven Up, Hard Eight, To The Nines, Ten Big Ones, Eleven On Top, and Twelve Sharp. They are even better.
