hope everyone has a great sunday!

Smoke does that to me too! GAG!!!

Off to a 1st bday party for my cousin's daughter. The same cousin that is getting married in 5 weeks yet we have no invites yet. She told me she hasn't even made them yet. Hmm.

Hi just a quick HI

Bee

Great hearing from you..lots of luck with the transitions..

Was the father missing teeth and sporting a haircut that said, "Business in the front...party in the back?" Perhaps their home was on wheels as well??

that is FUNNY.

Hi Peeps,

I spent the morning in the Emergency Room.

She's such a good patient too! I would have been way overdramatic and planted myself in bed, but she still went with me to get some more scrubs for work and go grocery shopping. Mom's are so tough!

Hope everyone's having a nice Saturday!

Mom's are indeed tough cookies. I swear my mom is part woman part tank! She's only about 5'1 and not to big but my goodness i swear she could deal with almost anything much better than i ever could!
Hope your momma's finger is getting better! ouch!

I hope you are feeling better...i had a bacholertte party a few weeks ago and it took me like 5 days to feel "myself" again..luckily in Boston there is a "no smoking" policy in all bars/restuarants/clubs otherwise i would have been having sinus issues too. blech!!


QUESTION
does any one here belong to a book club/have suggestions for a good "book club" book? Some of my friends and i have decided to start one and we are looking for a good first book that will keep everyone's interest. What else do you do with book clubs, and how often do people usually meet. I love that i am going to be starting something new, but would love some feedback on how its usually done...thanks!!

there's a no smoking policy in all buildings in georgia, too. the only thing is once a club gets crowded people do it anyway because security gets lazy and doesn't enforce it.

my two favorites books that i've read recently are "the lovely bones" by alice sebold, and "the five people you meet in heaven" by mitch albom. both are sort of about what happens after you die....different interpretations of heaven and sort of reflecting on your life, so it's not light subject matter, but VERY GOOD stories!

Ok Peeps...I need someone to calm me down. I am in the process of printing and reading through syllabi for 2 courses that start tomorrow in addition to it being the 1st day of my internship, which that in and of itself I'm freaking out about. I'm feeling incredibly overwhelmed right now. Combined, it just seems like soooo much work and I don't how I'm going to get it all done. It's not helping that I'm totally PMSing today...so every emotion I have seems to be tripled in intensity.

Have I mentioned that I'm nervous about my first day of work tomorrow?Clients I've never seen and an evaluation for a client with no case history. Should be interesting. Then I get to literally run out the door as close to 4 as possible, drive a good hour north to get to school by 5:30 for my class. Then when that is over I have to drive 40 minutes south to get home and go to my online class for an hour. Mondays are really going to stink for me.

Please send calming pixie dust. I feel sick to my stomach.

I always enjoyed the books from Oprah's Book Club. But the old book club..not the stuff from the last two years. If you go to her website they list them all back to the late 90's.

I also read the Lovely Bones (Peter Jackson is doing the movie!!) and it was outstanding!

do tell!!!! when? do you know any other details? i gotta go google this right now!

i have a question for you guys. i'm looking online at comforter/sheet sets for my guest bedroom. i'm bored with what i have in there now. i've found a couple i like but they only come in king and queen sizes. my guest bed is a full. will a queen be okay to put on a full-size bed or will it look stupid? also, if anyone can recommend a website that sells comforter sets/beds in a bag type stuff for reasonable prices, let me know!

Gina The 5 people you meet in Heaven might be a good choice - The PoisonWood Bible gets a lot of "best books" from people (its a much thicker book - Oprah was talking about it, it may have been one of her early book club picks, but I was amazed at how many people had that on their lists - I wasnt crazy about it - A missionary took his family to live in Africa... The Secret Life of Bees is supposed to be good (I have it in my "tbr - to be read" pile... One book I read from the "Radio Readers club Was THE OUTSIDE WORLD by Tova Mirvis - This gave an insight to the Jewish life - from a woman's perspective - note how the story starts and how its told thru 'holidays' and what holiday it ends with - it was very symbolical in that regard - try this link http://wgnradio.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=66&Itemid=223
The cool thing on their radio readers is they then interview the authors - and you can hear that still from that link!! Hah - they did do Secret Life of Bees - its on Page 2!! Their books are always paperback books and never to heavy! You can usually get them used at Amazon.com as well!!

Every book club has set its own purpose, is it strictly social, is it more in depth? You get to decide!!

Have fun!!

We went to see No Reservations - it was a fine PG movie - I liked it, dd liked it!! They could've made more of a heart tug, but they didnt!! It was a good movie and probably will be shown on TV over and over (Its PG) one of these days!!

I think a queen would be fine on a full bed. It will just hang a little longer off the sides and front. I know I've seen a couple comforters that are only in queen (my bed is a full) and my mom thought it would be fine.

Not sure of websites, but TJMaxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods always have lots of bedding. Of course, Linen N Things and Bed, Bath and Beyond always have cute things but the prices aren't always so cute. I got my current comforter set at JCPenney through the catalog. Not the best quality but now that its worn in, its soft and comfy. And it was pretty cheap.

I hated the PoisonWood Bible! That one and any of the Toni Morrison books did me in.

I would probably lean twds. full size. We have a full size bed and one set of sheets are full/queen and then come off the corners at night sometimes. Very annoying. My favorite place to get comforters and sheets is The Company Store. Can be $$ but great quality. They also have great sales!!!!

I don't know much at the movie..just that he is doing it. I heard one of the many reasons he passed on making the Hobbit was b/c he was already committed to this one!

Oooh good point. Queen sheets on a full bed would probably be pretty annoying. I was only thinking of the comforter (which I still think would be ok). And I love the Company Store as well!

The full/queen comforter is fine but the sheets are not.

Life happened this week. No weight loss. Thursday afternoon, DH and I went to a party, and we were planning to go to the gym afterwards. 20 minutes into the party DH gets a phone call. It was my mom's caregiver.
My mother was taken to the hospital in an ambulance Thursday afternoon. It turns out that the sinus infection either triggered or masked my mother's third stroke. The first two led to paralysis on her left side. This one has damaged her ability to think. This is a woman who, 1 week ago, was able to watch Jeopardy and answer 90% of the questions correctly. Now she can barely name her 6 children.
DH and I stayed with her until she got checked into the hospital at 1:30 Friday morning. I slept for a few hours, went to work to set up our classes, then went back to the hospital (thank God DH went back to the hospital that morning to be with Mom. He kept her company and even spoon-fed her. I LOVE that man). My sister came to the hospital so that DH and I could head off to lead a retreat for the weekend. We got home at 3:45 this afternoon, we dumped the suitcases from car, and I headed back to the hospital to relieve my sister. Around 8 my mom was sleepy, so I came home. Tomorrow I go back into work, then back to see my mom.
My eating this weekend was one big pity party. I did go for a walk this morning so I could talk to God alone. I saw a beautiful eagle, a flock of wild turkeys, and a mother deer and 2 fawns. It felt like the calm in the middle of the storm.
Tomorrow I will try to do better on the eating. A big part of my mother's health problems come from her weight and eating habits. I do not want to go through what she is going through, nor do I want my kids to have to go through what my siblings and I are going through.
Have a great Monday, and remember, WWPD?
