Here I Am–A Blogger–who’d have thunk it?

I am going to try my hand at this blogging business. Then, whenever anyone wants to know what is on my mind, they can come here and find out–because you all know I keep all of my feelings bottled up and no one really knows how I feel at any given time. Any of you who know me well know that I also have some ocean front property in Arizona that I will sell you cheap.

I am reading a book called “Angry Housewives Eating Bon-Bons.” It is about 5 neighbors who start a book-club. There is Audrey, the curvaceous, sexy boisterous neighbor. Merit, the stunningly beautiful neighbor with an abusive husband. Slip, the small, wiry spitfire who is always fighting for a cause. Kari, the older barren widow who receives a priceless gift long after she had stopped hoping for it.And Faith, the mother of twins who has invented a warm, fuzzy past for herself because she is afraid to share her real past. I am almost finished reading it and I love it so much. It seems almost like “The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” when you read the jacket, but it is so much more real than “Ya-Ya Sisterhood.” These women could be any one of us and I find myself associating all of the characters with myself and other women in my life. When I am finished with this book, I have “Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch” and “Emotional Intelligence” to finish reading. I also have one quilt to bind for my friend Brenda with the promise of more on the way and my Statistics homework. I am also teaching my 7 year old to do his own laundry and helping him with his Summer Reading Club.
