A movie

Okay so I can't find a picture, but since I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that we'll go with it.

Clueless - the Whatever edition.  Always a fun movie.  And it's scary how many of the phrases I still use.

Hmm - maybe I'll edit this posting instead of starting yet another one tonight.  Just wanted to mention that the Laura Ingalls Wilder Lore is very entertaining for any of you out there who count her as your all time favorite author.  Go to www.liwms.org to order!

Another book

From Random House for Sweet Valley High's website....

Next book.  I actually finished these books awhile ago and am just now getting around to posting about all them..

This is one of the few books in which you feel sorry for Jessica and just want to smack Elizabeth.  Elizabeth in yet another book in which she wonders if she should sleep with a guy or not.  This is a serious issue, but my gosh, after this many books I just don't care. Besides, yes, I still thinks she belongs with Todd.  But now she's with Sam who tries to score with every girl he meets.  Jessica knows this.  Jessica tries to stop this, but Elizabeth keeps getting mad at her.  Get a clue girl - she's trying to help you.  And your big move to England is really a transparent attempt to set up the next series.  Which really they needed to do a companion series about how Jessica did on her own.

P.S.

I just got "Blind Date" back from Jean.  It's something that I only have seen at Christian bookstores.  It's an anthology of 4 novellas.  These are usually good.  In this case, it's four girls who all get set up by their grandmothers.  And it gives me a change to put a link to one of the author's websites.  Lately, she's been one of my favorite authors.

Odds and Ends

The picture is from www.route66.ie

I finished reading Nick Feeth's "Route 66".  A lot of great pictures and sidebars.  It really gives great information on a town by town, state by state basis.  I would love one of these days to drive Route 66.  Probably with a camper, because I do NOT stay in less than 3 star preferably chain motels.  Before you volunteer, you should also know that I will be wondering where the highway is to get on before we actually get out of Chicago.  But yeah, I still want to go.

Had class today.  I so just want to get through all this.  I don't really care if I learn anything.  I just want the degree at the end.  I know that's a bad attitude, but really I'm an end result, not "the process" person.

Lastly, I really, really need a date for Miami's Gala on 9/29.  Any single 25-35 year old guys out there who would like to rent a tux and go to a $250/plate dinner?  You know this is where it would be nice if I knew someone/anyone who fit the profile.  Let me know if you are interested and not a psychopath.

Labor Day

So I had a blast a RiverFest yesterday.  Great fireworks.  Funny duck regatta.  The ducks went both ways around an ice breaker.  It took them at least 15 minutes to straighten out the buoys.  Saw a friend I haven't seen in awhile - Hi Scott.

I watched a Cinderalla story the other day.  Cute, silly but really cute.  I know it's for little kids, but it's nice to see a movie that's good without having a lot of the crassness of other movies.
