New Crackliture.


As a result of Heather and Lula's endless urging, 
I started The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins at 9 PM.

It is now 1:43 AM.  I am done.  Wow.

Ladies, we have ourselves some Crackliture.  

Goodnight.

I read this too (from Lula's recommendation) it was good. Unsettling, but really good. And I take it there will be more? When you say, "End of book One," then Book Two is implied. Right?

Jeez, I need to finish this book today. I am at the part where Katniss just camped in the willow tree for the first night in the arena. Lula promises it goes faster from here on out. When Gabe goes to school, I am so reading today.

Can you give us a hint as to why this is such a good book? I'm in the middle of Barbara Walter's Audition. Maybe not Crackliterature but at least....I don't know. It's good. If you like biographies and BW is a good writer.

Amen. I'm still thinking about it.

I totally said I would complete this one before I jumped to The Shack so before everyone and their mom reads it before me, which is what happened with Twilight, I am gitting 'er done. I did read chapter one online.

Ok, I can see I'm going to need to pick up this book too. Sigh. I love reading, I really do, but it keeps me from getting things done.

Told you.

We must discuss, please.

Oh, I took Cracklit in college. I'll have to check this one out!

Whomever came up with the teaser first chapter download is an evil marketing genius.

I don't think I'll be on the list for this one though, unless you can talk me into it. Same reason why I have avoided reading The Road - my anxious bones can't handle the scary future! My deepest fear - not being able to feed my children.

On my list...that keeps growing. And growing.

You need to trademark that term Crackliture! So we are adding another book to the pile...the ever growing pile...

I saw your comment on Lula's about needing PSU to lose...no no no no. It did make me laugh though ;)You know, I think there is a scenario that could play out should we win the Big 10 that we would play USC in the Rose Bowl. I am assuming that USC will win the PAC-10. That would be wild and fun to watch. Smash mouth BIG 10 football versus a semi-pro team from Hollywood. Oh this season is so much fun for me this year!

I went and looked up this book on Amazon - to order it, of course. and I have to say the description scared the pants off me in many ways.
As a fan of Survivor and a clueless tv junkie - I dont know if I could handle it?

I'm visiting from Lula's blog. Tell me more about this book! I'm looking for reading material for this winter.

Hey Tiffany,

So this book is worth the few hours needed to read it? Sounds like I read just like you - if I like it, I can't put it down.

Your "Favorite Things Swap" box of yummies is on it's way to you compliments of our lovely United States Postal Service. You should have it by Saturday at the latest.

From reading your blog, it seemed that our interests were similar so I'm hoping you do enjoy MY Favorite Things. hee hee

Let me know when you get them....:)

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

My Rant. This Can't End Well.

Image
If you are here for a quick, happy visit, you may want to move on, I am about to rant. {I do violate my own style and use the "f" word for referring to itself. You'll understand why.} When Heather and I started SITS last year, we thought it would be great to have a place where any women blogger could get featured, find blogs, and participate in a positive, welcoming space. Over time, we have grown at a steady rate, and have received WONDERFUL feedback from our SITStas. Thank you. Recently, I have become active on Twitter, and introduced to a larger version of the blog world. I have been shocked at the snobbery and exclusion that goes on. SITS has kept me very safe and sheltered from this "cut-throat" side of mommy blogging. There is definitely an "in crowd" and as with every "in crowd", a group trying desperately to get in. And, of course, to cement their reign, they need people to ignore or snicker about. I did high school {and while I ac...
