I decided to try something new and read from a male romance author. YAY! I am so excited by this book, <A HREF="http://www.rcostelloe.com/" REL="nofollow">Coinage of Commitment</A>. This high literacy book is a top read. My misery is over, hopefully for a while at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-85581292771582777972007-10-24T09:31:00.000-05:002007-10-24T09:31:00.000-05:00I love that Dracula too, all because of Gary Oldma...I love that Dracula too, all because of Gary Oldman.

There are so many great scenes in that one too. And Derek is just so yummy *sigh*. Of course this has nothing to do with The Rumble and campaining. Nope - not a thing.

As the kids get older, we do more: sailing, skiing, biking, travel, talking, playing games, working. It's fun. There are always hassles, of course, and there are times that exhaust me. But it is totally worthwhile 100%. It's the outside pressure that I detest. Inside our little family? It's a damn good time.<BR/><BR/>Uh.My word verification is POTDAY.lisabeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920384323769700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-27962388871800123082007-10-18T07:37:00.000-05:002007-10-18T07:37:00.000-05:00You know, I've never read Kleypas. :( Guess I'm mi...You know, I've never read Kleypas. :( <BR/><BR/>Guess I'm missing out on some good reading, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-15525577766003305482007-10-17T17:38:00.000-05:002007-10-17T17:38:00.000-05:00lisabea--So it never gets easier? :)QB--When we bo...lisabea--So it never gets easier? :)<BR/><BR/>QB--When we bought our house five years ago, it needed to be renovated top to bottom. We started with the downstairs. During the next two years our second floor became crammed with all sorts of stuff we didn't need, plus the family grew. By the time my husband started the second floor, it was a horror. He shoved a bunch of stuff into the crawlspaces. I'm still finding boxes of clothing we haven't worn since we moved.<BR/><BR/>jennie--LK is very dependable for a nice escape. I stayed up late rereading Devil in Winter last night. I haven't re-read it since soon after I got it. What a great book! So many scenes that I had to read twice just to savor.Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526459179535104279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-20216669118216591732007-10-17T08:58:00.000-05:002007-10-17T08:58:00.000-05:00I'm reading MTM right now too.

Like you say, you can have a million other things going on in your life, but it's easy to fall into a Kleypas and forget about it all sometimes. ;)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-17227632626032191742007-10-16T19:55:00.000-05:002007-10-16T19:55:00.000-05:00When we built this house 8 years ago, I was going ...When we built this house 8 years ago, I was going to weed through everything as I packed up to move here. Well, I spent all day, every day at the new house during construction so everything just got thrown into boxes and brought over here. What that means is, we have an attic that is the entire top floor of a 3-car garage and it is so crammed with stuff that you can barely walk through it. And don't even get me started about finding time to organize all my books-- GAK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15898979.post-209829658289857942007-10-16T14:33:00.000-05:002007-10-16T14:33:00.000-05:00Yea, those kids.

I'm struggling with getting one into college (just fill out the forms, damn it), one starting high school (he's doing fabulously!), and one doing quite poorly in middle school (sigh). If I hear the term "academic testing" one more time you may see me on the 6 o'clock news. <BR/><BR/>I've had a box labeled "yard sale" for two years. It's kind of a joke around here.lisabeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920384323769700925noreply@blogger.com
