Just a quick note to say Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! Keep up the hard work.
Currently reading: In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson
Movies that I have enjoyed lately: Catch and Release
Because I Said So
The kids watched Arthur and the Invisibles tonight and they liked it. I am watching Stomp the Yard, but getting very distracted with Facebook and Blogger so I can't really say if I like or dislike it, the dancing in it is cool, tho.....

"Go back to your playpen, Baby"

If you get a chance to go see Dirty Dancing in the theatre-go! They have re-released it for a couple of days. It was soooo fun to be in the theatre watching it. It felt like me and a couple hundred of my closest girlfriends got together to watch it, and about 5 guys were there, too. Everyone was laughing and saying the lines, my personal favorite-"Nobody puts Baby in a corner" and "I carried a watermelon". Watch for tshirts with movie quotes coming soon to a video store near you! There is just something about that movie that I never get sick of, and, oh, yeah, Patrick Swayze!

On another note, I am just finishing up reading Terms of Endearment. Very enjoyable. I'll watch the movie once I've finished it. Then on to Goldie Hawn's biography-A Lotus grows in the Mud. That's what I've been reading.

I am happy to announce that Lauryn's front teeth are finally breaking through. She's been waiting for them to come in since she lost her baby ones waaaaay back in November or December. I was a little worried that she wasn't going to get any!

Well, gotta go check facebook. No the excitement has not worn off yet.

Later

PS. Check out my facebook for Florida pics.

Just came back to say goodbye.....

Sorry, can't stay long, I may get the jitters if I am away from Facebook for too long. Seriously, I am sooo addicted that I don't even let myself check it at work anymore until it's time to go home or I will never get off it and waste the entire day. Go check it out, you don't have to be a member, but once you go there and search for some long ago classmate, you will sign up and then it will have you! Oh yes, you will start thinking, "Who can I search for now?" Then you will find someone you know, click on their friends, then see someone else you know, then click to see their friends,etc, etc, then you will be in deeper and deeper. So, check it out, sign up and add me as your friend!

BNLx2

Well, considering that I don't ever take the time to actually type the blogs that I compose in my head I have decided on a new theme for the blog. I always have a book or 2 on the go so I'm going to post what I am currently reading and if anyone wants to read that and leave comments and have an informal cyber book club that would be great. As for keeping up with what the fam is doing, I will try to post pictures of what's been going on. Since August I have wanted to post some pictures of the Barenaked Ladies concert in Charlottetown, but they are on Warren's computer and I can't find them when I'm searching, but anyways we had a great time fourth row from the stage. Tonight we got to see them again at Harbour Station. They were great, but we got there late so I missed the Apartment-one of my faves. And, we weren't on the floor so everybody was sitting instead of standing and dancing so that took away from the experience a bit, but hey it was still BNL. Brooke asked me where we were going and I told her to see the Barenaked Ladies and her response was "EEEWWWWW, YUCK!" So, I explained that they were actually boys and they were not naked! OK, back to the book reading....
What I am currently reading:
The Book of Ruth-the fictional novel, not the actual biblical book of Ruth-by Jane Hamilton who also wrote A Map of the World which is a great book and movie.
The Diary of Anne Frank-can't believe I have never read this
Inside My Heart-Robin McGraw aka Dr. Phil's wife
Do I have ADD or what, why am I reading 3 books at once?

Some all time favorites:
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Thornbirds
The Prince of Tides
-Oddly enough all of these have movies too, but of course aren't as good as the books.
Anything by Maeve Binchy I love also.

So, what's your favorite book?

GUESS WHO?
