A Spot of Brother by Mark Haddon, Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn, Shopgirl by Steve Martin. My Dh and I have also been reading aloud to each other bits of The Man-Eaters of Tsavo by John Henry Patterson. I don't recommend reading this many books at once...it makes for strange dreams, but life is short and I love reading.:D

I agree with previous posters about taking control over the TV first. It just seems like the easiest and most logical start. However with the responsibility of possessions...When I was young, my Mother would simply take away what I didn't care for properly. If I left my toys out after being told to clean them up, they were gone the next day. I learned pretty quickly that if I cared about my toys, games, etc. I needed to take responsibility for them. This isn't really advice as much as my personal experience. However, I feel like you and your DH are going to learn many tactics by reading some books on the subject. Good luck.

We start with good coffee. Then I add some half and half to achieve a light khaki color. I may have another cup.;)

Congrats! I love that we have a new Well-Trained Mind baby!:grouphug:

I have noticed this too...but I seem to come into it too late. I have missed all this controversy!:001_huh:

Thanks for the post. I love Oscar season. :D

I understand wanting to challenge one's ideas or ideologies, but I think life is way to short to invest the time in reading something you know you will hate. We get challenged everyday with opposing views by watching the news, taking part in politics and just interacting with others. I agree that almost every book I have read has brought me a little something, but I prefer to start a book with the hope that it may become a favorite, instead of knowing or at least thinking I will hate it.

Wishing you and your family all the best. I really was an awful teen and reading your posts the last few weeks I have felt a little guilty...I called both my parents to just say thanks for sticking with me. I am sure if you keep embracing your girl she will one day do the same.:)

a lemon simple syrup to sweeten is a nice change to just the sweetness of sugar. I also like the ginger ale and honey/mint ideas.

In my dreams I go quite often:tongue_smilie:...as for reality...not yet, although it (and the rest of Italy) is our number one destination.

I can't wait to see it...let us know your review if you go. I love the plot and the actors.:)

I love it...I love seeing the pics of school rooms. Gives me such inspiration. Your blog is one of the best I have seen...I just want to keep reading and viewing the lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing!

He is one of my favorite artists...however I know little of his personal history. Great link and thanks for the info...even if a little sad.

It looks great. I love the series...were the cats helping in the re-organization!? hehe:D

Don't forget to check out some of your desired supplies/brands on Amazon. I am never let down by there prices.
Good luck.

Attenborough is the best by far...in fact when we went to buy Planet Earth, we had to special order the British version...no offense to Sigourny, but if I am going to pay $80 for a DVD...I want it to be the best. He is wonderful. Others that he is great in are Life of Birds, Life of Insects, and The Blue Planet series are all great.

Happy Birthday! I do love a good carrot cake. Enjoy your day.:party:

I would go to your library book sale, thrift stores, and when the weather permits yardsales and look for old Sports Illustrated magazines, picture books about sports, and posters. You could frame cool pictures and the frames would be the only real cost. Both our book sale and thrift stores have old magazines for around $.10. Decorating on a shoe string brings out the most creative ideas. Good luck.

I couldn't vote for one category. I have different needs that are met from different people in my life. My husband is a true friend, as are two girlfriends I have known since high school, as well as my sister, and a few women I have been lucky enough to think of as mentors. I really feel that collectively they create my best friend.

Any favorite Golden Globe dresses? I thought that Eva Mendes, Kate Winslet (always a favorite) and Maggie Gyllenhaal all looked stunning. Not to mention as a long time fan of Mickey Rourke...I am glad to see him as the comeback kid of the year. Anyone game to just talk some celebrity judgement instead of the heavy stuff?:tongue_smilie:

I found this book to be so haunting, scary, and just plain wonderful. What a great writer and voice. My Dh and I read it together and we were both in awe of it. What a story!
-
Congrats....I was pretty excited too! I hate to admit it...but I jumped up and down! hehe:D

I definitely second reading and cooking together. Maybe not a hike, but just a nice walk could be nice. I am sure I am missing a few other things...:lol:
