The 39th and 40th book I’ve read in 2010 are kind of embarrassing.
The 39th book I read this year was John Grisham’s Ford County Stories…which was a collection of small stories that all take place in the same county (try to guess the name of the county).
If I had known that this was a collection of short stories I wouldn’t have picked it up because I generally don’t like enjoy them. I was, however, pleasantly entertained by this book. I breezed through them rather quickly last Saturday morning over coffee.
Then I picked up the 6th book in the Babysitter’s Club called Kristy’s Big Day. Super-exciting. Kristy’s mom is going to get married, but when someone offers to buy Kristy’s house, they have to rush the wedding (because Kristy’s family couldn’t move in with a man BEFORE her mother wed him!!!!). So they end up doing a rush-job on the wedding, and to make matters more difficult there are 14 children from out-of-town staying at Kristy’s…thankfully the Babysitter’s Club is there to save the day! I’m probably going to only read 4 more of this series, because it’s kind of draining. Maybe I’ll have to pick up Sweet Valley High?
When this song came on Pandora this past week I couldn’t help but tap my foot and walk around for the rest of the day like I had oil wells pumping in my living room.
Do you have any songs that just bring you to a good place? For the longest time, this song did it for me:
Okay. If you’re not listening to The Game Night Guys, you’d better have a good explanation. Seriously.
We’ve published three episodes so far. We did an episode on Scattergories. One on Sequence. And this week’s episode is the one where Brian kicks my butt in War.
The concept is this: Brian and I sit down and play a new board game or card game each week and record it. Along the way we learn new things about the games and one another. It’s been pretty fun to record.
And we are currently a FEATURED podcast in the iTunes store! I’m dead serious. That means that if any of y’all open up iTunes and click on the PODCAST link in the store you’ll see this:
What the what?! Crazy, right? Since we’ve become featured we’ve had about 500 downloads! So uh…why aren’t you listening?
Today is the inaugural Diabetes Art Day (I’ve learned that it’s improper to call something The First Annual…)!!
Lee Ann Thill at The Butter Compartment came up with the idea, and it’s spreading faster than HPV on a college campus.
Diabetes bloggers across the web are creating D-related art and posting it to their sites. Plus a few lucky artists will win a copy of the No-Sugar Added Poetry Book. Which is kind of an incentive to post your art.
A lot of people spent a lot of time on their creations, and I kind of feel dumb posting my lame-o piece of art, but a month ago when Lee Ann originally posed the idea, I said that I was going to give it an honest go.
I’m going to spend some time later this afternoon clicking around and finding some other people’s diabetes art. If you posted some that you think I should see, don’t hesitate to leave me a link in the comments to this post.
Ironically, today I went in to visit my doctor, and my a1c was identical to my last a1c. WTF, right? 6.2.
Anyway, happy Diabetes Art Day! Here’s the crayola crapola I created:
