Mommathon

Another book that took me forever to read...This book was recommended to me by a friend. It is a collection of autobiographical short stories where the writers relate some aspect to their life to one of Judy Blume's many novels, including: Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret, Superfuge, Deenie, Forever...etc. I have another book on hold from the library. It is about Sassy magazine. If you never read this magazine as a high school/college student you missed out. If was Seventeen magazine only a zillion times better. So good, in fact, that my mom wouldn't let me read it. I think there might have been a lot of moms like mine because the zine didn't last more than maybe six or seven years...but it was a good run.

Sean's parents gave us a very nice (and big) bottle of beer about two years ago. They got it while traveling somewhere and Sean and I decided we would save it for something special. So, we have sold our house, settled into this one and everyone is finally healthy again. (Knock on wood.) So we decided to break it open tonight. We shouldn't have waited. This beer has been sitting around for so long, we had put so much pressure on this beer to be really good, that we were a bit disappointed. It was okay, but it was REALLY bubbly and was a bit like beer mixed with a wine cooler...not necessarily a good combo.

Liam has discovered Pokemon. Need I say more? I just hope and pray that this is not his next phase. I can handle Star Wars. I even made it through his long and drawn out (and rather intense) love of Thomas and Friends, but I don't know if I can handle Pokemon. Really. He got two Pokemon books at the book fair this week and the whole Pokemon thing just seems mind numbing. Ugh.

We have birthdays aplenty around here this weekend. It is Shannon's birthday (Sean's sister), Sean's birthday, Sean's grandma's birthday and Liam has a friend's birthday party to go to, also. On top of all of that, my sister-in-law (also on Sean's side of the family) had her baby shower today. The shower was great and a lot of people were able to make it. We had a yummy lunch and Holley got a lot of essentials for little Finnegan.
