What’s on *Your* Nightstand?

July 21, 2008

I’m reading this book right now called The Girls by Lori Lansens.  I’m not that far into it but I can’t get it off of my mind.  It’s written from the perspective of conjoined twins.  So far, one sister tells the majority of the story while the other rarely speaks up.  They’re joined at the head, [...]

Blissfully, Finally, Absolutely Home

July 13, 2008

I tease her that I’m glad she’s home because I need her to get back to emptying the dishwasher. And taking out the bathroom trash twice a week. Between me and you though… there’s much more to it than that. She is THE FUNNIEST kid.  Especially when she’s not trying to be. The love in [...]
