Amendment!

Okay... so I am changing the book title. I think the book I picked was a little too ambitious for young moms to finish in a month! So sorry about that!

What I would like to do is have you all leave your ideas (top three books) for our first read, and I will pick from that. After our first book is done, we will go in alphabetical order, and that person will get to pick our book.

Also, I wanted to open this up to readers not just in San Diego (Erin... Amy...).. so I thought that we could post our discussion questions at the end of the month, and just leave our answers via a comment. Doesn't that sound easy enough??

So, leave me your titles asap so we can start on July 1st! :)

Here it is... the first book club assignment

So.. a few posts back, I was mentioning that I wanted to start a book club. I think it is a great way to get to know friends better, while stretching that mind!!

So, here are the rules. I will pick the first book title, then you must all run out and get it from your library (or you can purchase it, but that is highly frowned upon for the budget conscious!!) then we will have 1 month to finish it. At that time, we will plan a get together (coffee anyone?) and meet to discuss. This is a very cultural and respectable idea... and you all had better do it!!

Leave me a comment to let me know you are in, and we will get started. I am sure my book club will generate as much buzz as Oprah's so you'd better get your book!!

And the title is..... The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger... it is a long one, so get to reading folks. :)

I love my sister..

So, you know that friend that you can't go a day without talking to, who knows your favorite ice cream, what songs you like on their Ipod, and the person who makes you laugh without doing anything.. even when no one else thinks it is funny... Well that is my sister, Amy. She and I are best friends and are completely opposite, but love each other to bits! When we were little, we didn't get a long and I made Amy do lots of things that she didn't want to do. I would say those days are long over.. but last night I made Amy do something I would never do...

Eat some cancer fighting, virus busting, incredibly hot wasabi!!

And yes, I took pictures, but I could hardly stand still to click the shutter because I was laughing so hard. She did it just for me.. and also she is a sucker for dares and pain and all that kind of stuff....



Look at that chunk o' wasabi!! Huge, ain't it?



Ok... no turning back! She looks a little scared, don't ya think?



This is where she is starting to feel the burn.... No pain, no gain baby! She loves me a lot.



Just to let you know.. wasabi is a paste and it takes a lot to chew it down. She spent a good 2-3 minutes just working on it!! Her eyes are starting to shut down involuntarily from the heat...


At this point, I believe her words were... Oh my sweet Lord Jesus... :)


Finally I let her drink some water. She was crying from the wasabi, and I was crying from laughing so hard! Her virus has run for the hills and she will be cancer free forever... not that she had those problems, but you know.. just in case.

Good times Ame.. thanks. :)

Ewwwww.....


Just wanted to warn everyone that hadn't heard... Moran's beef is contaminated with E.coli... so umm, you are not supposed to eat it!! It was sold at Albertson's and Stater Brothers.

My mil had some in her freezer that she had purchased a while ago and the number's matched, so make sure to check your beef people!!
