Writing the good read
First, my mom called today and left a message that I had to correct the record: in my post about Books my Mom Gave Me a few days back I forgot to mention that she practically had to force me to read Gone With The Wind, which I then devoured. Let the record show that…
I find myself chagrined to be writing a letter to you. That’s not what I envisioned when I started this blog. However, I saw a picture of you in court the other day and almost fainted. No matter what color your hair or how strung out you were, you used to be a really pretty…
It is haiku day for Blogathon 20-10 Need more syllables *** One lonely bagel Sits among seven croissants It begs to be ate *** Three people need more than one working computer Need adapter quick *** Bar Mitzvah countown Just 19 days to finish Will it all be done? *** Two months without Kate I…
I’ve been a fan of Lost since it started. I used to tell Husband he Really Needed to Watch this Show, but he didn’t believe me. Until this season when he irritatingly got into it and kept asking me question after question about who was who and what meant what. Mostly, I couldn’t answer. I’m…
I just spent an hour going through all my privacy settings on Facebook. At least I think I did. There’s no easy way to tell whether I’m done or not, no easy little setting that I can click on from the start that says, “Hey, just don’t share any of my info with anyone other…

I think the first book I remember my mom giving me was a big yellow hardcover of Maybelle the Cable Car by Virginia Lee Burton (she also wrote Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel). I loved that book and kept it until I was a parent myself. I gave it to my son. He ripped…
The smartest thing I’ve heard recently is a line from In Plain Sight. Everything counts. Everything you say, everything you think, and especially, everything you do. It all counts. Sometimes, the truth hurts, doesn’t it? Sometimes, it can give you a new sense of purpose. I’m hoping it’s the latter for that statement, even if…
Hi, I’m Heather and honored to be guest posting today! Lisa and I share a love of reading, so she asked me to write about books. I’m a YA enthusiast but also enjoy chick lit or a comically written non-fiction from time to time. I read a lot – and friends, both online and off,…
So you don’t think Roman Polanski can be punished? How ’bout you deliver up one of your young daughters to him when she turns 13 in a couple years. If he drugs her and has sex with her, then tell me if you still think that he’s suffered enough. Lisa
