My mother likes to give me gifts just for the hell of it. Her latest additions to our ever expanding collection of "things Mom didn't want" were two books by author Phillippa Gregory. Now, the books she gave me "Wideacre" and "Meridan" I had never heard of, but I knew she wrote "The Other Boleyn Girl" (which I'm currently reading) and so I gladly ( Read more... )

Matthew and I went to see "The Nativity" today. Kudos to the director of this film. It's a beautiful representation of the story of Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men, the Shepard and the birth of Jesus Christ. I cried. Matthew cried and that says something when a film can make my own King of Evil cry. This is a movie I'd like to see again, alone. ( Read more... )

LOL! It's only been ten days since we ( Read more... )

So much for my great writing schedule. Matt has been home sick for two days now, but as bummed as I am about not getting my writing done, I'm really feeling for this kid. He's got on heck of a cold that has just wiped him off his feet, and it takes a lot to wipe Matt off his feet. He's sleeping right now..which is odd in itself because once he ( Read more... )
