What I’m Reading

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I updated my books on Goodreads (damn, i love that site!) and wrote a very short review of a book I read recently, The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling


My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
I thought this was a great, quick read, with some interesting background into Wizarding history. Great read for Potter fans, but someone who never read the Harry stuff will be left cold, bored and confused.

That being said, these are nice little morality tales, with a dark spin to them that recalls Grimm’s fairy tales.

View all my reviews.

Are you on Goodreads? If so, let me know – I’d love to see what you are reading!

Tiller’s Christmas Pageant

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Unless you are a grandparent, Aunt, Uncle, or someone else with a deep attachment to the girl, you can just stop reading now. The pageant went off without a hitch, so there are no tantrums, crying jags, meltdowns or otherwise entertaining portions of the video. Just a bunch of little kids shaking bells and singing.

Just posting it for Todd and the family, since none of them could make it. (Yes, I am feeling a little guilty about Tiller getting the second-child treatment.) Video for your viewing enjoyment:

I have none.

I know that Domino’s is all about bossing my uterus around, but damn! I love watching my delivery via the online Pizza Tracker.

Spirit

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

There is no sweeter sound than the sound of one’s child and husband singing “Jingle Bells” together. I keep on thinking we should cancel the whole Christmas season, what with all the extra work it creates, but I don’t really mean it. Christmas has not been this magical for me since the horror of finding out about Santa.

That is a lie. There was no one moment when the Santa jig was up – it was more insidious, a creeping doubt that became stronger and stronger, until i just didn’t believe anymore.

But now I remember how vivid everything was, how fascinating each decoration and ornament. Everything about December as a child was a winter wonderland. Mom and Dad, thanks for making me believe in magic. I hope i am working the same magic for Tiller and Rollie. I know they are giving me back a little Christmas spirit, and a whole hunk’o joy.

Your result for Howard Gardner’s Eight Types of Intelligence Test…

Linguistic

16% Logical, 14% Spatial, 59% Linguistic, 37% Intrapersonal, 18% Interpersonal, 20% Musical, 53% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 18% Naturalistic!

“Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers.” (Wikipedia)

Most Productive November Evah

Monday, December 1st, 2008

I ran my first half-marathon on Thanksgiving. I wrote a novel. Not bad* for November. . . .


*I still haven’t finished my Christmas shopping. Okay, i haven’t even started my Christmas shopping, unless you count snowglobes from the Dollar Tree. Also, my novel is complete crap and it is non-fiction crap, at that.

Tiller’s New Haircut

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

I live vicariously through my daughter’s hair. Yes, you heard me right.

I have long bemoaned the curse of the curl, that never allows me to have bangs or cute bobs, or even a decent Dorothy Hamill growing up. But now i have a Tiller! A straight-haired, sharp-cut banged Tiller! In the bob that I wanted in 6th grade. (Instead I ended up with what some still refer to as “The ET.”)

I give you Tiller (front and side views):
