Since you’re seen me last I’ve been a blurry smear of action. I went on some travels and am about to go on some more. I’ve had the kids more because it’s summer and pretty much every day has been packed with things like lunches and coffees and pedicures and laughing and reading books together. We’ve made it through the Twilight series and the Uglies series so far. But the last book in the Twilight series comes out in August and we’re all waiting with baited breath. It’s been really fun to talk about the books together. With the exception of 1984. It wasn’t required 8th grade reading in Utah and I can’t say I’m sorry about that. I realize there are important themes in it and it’s done some good warning people of what-might-have-been, but man, it’s a bummer book.
It’s been really fun having my brother and his wife and son living with us. I really dig Gideon. He can be a fun guy to hang out and play Uno with. And it’s always nice to get to know your siblings better. Good times all around.
I know many of you have wondered if I’d dropped off the face of the earth or was experiencing a particularly bad down swing. Sorry for the worry. I’m doing great. Thanks for your emails. Posting will most likely be light throughout the summer. We have quite a few trips and activities planned.
xo
Glad you havent dropped off the face of the earth!
My son and I were both completely enamored with the Twilight series (although he is team Jacob and I am team Edward) and are looking forward to the next book which is being celebrated with a Vampire Ball at our B&N. I’m glad I’m not the only Mom who loves sharing books with my teenager. I haven’t read “UGLIES” yet but my son has them. Maybe I’ll make that the next series I tackle.
Sooo does this mean that I will be seeing you soon? Because I sure hope so.
wow, i JUST started reading twilight per my daughter’s insistence. after i started it i pinched b/c the books are so big but very hard to put down. (this would be the only reason i’m on a bandwagon, b/c she’s much hipper than i.)
good to hear from your on this post 🙂
I loved both of those series. B&N in Ventura is having some sort of party that starts at 11 PM the night the next book goes on sale. I assume it is aimed at the teen set. Sorry, but I am too old to tell if it will be cool or lame. I just saw the flier when I was in there buying THE HOST by Stephenie Meyer to read while I was on jury duty last week. I recommend that one for you guys if you liked the TWILIGHT series. Even though it is adult fiction, there is nothing inappropriate for teens (that I remember).
Any word if you will be working on “The United States of Tara” ?
yep – still working on Tara.
