I better find my library card, huh? you know how I love a good book and you always recommend fabulous ones.

I am glad you are enjoying Kate Walsh, I think she's amazing.
Have you tried listening to the Plain White T's yet? Hey There Deliah is a great song. Also, Maroon 5's newest is awesome, as well as Rufus Wainwright...if you enjoy his nasaly singing, which I do.

I am going to see pirates today, I don't care if it's confusing I'll get to see Captian Jack...delish!

Love,
G

I agree with you on Spiderman, it was too much. I heard Pirates wasn't the best, but of course will still go see it.

I agree the new Maroon 5 is great!

I just finished the book "Thousand Splendid Suns" by the author that wrote "The Kite Runner." It was pretty violent, but an incredible story about life and survival in the middle east. I could not put it down.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I gotta tell you that I didn't want to see bridge to tarabithia, but john was taking the kids and they all wanted me to go so of course, I went. I loved it!!! What a great story, and shilo has picked it as her new favorite movie. ( and i have to add, that john even got teary eyed, shhhh, don't say anything- he'd KILL me!:)) anyway just wanted to say thanks for the good ideas...

Thanks for the book recommendations, I just started The Second Summmer Of The Sisterhood - it's the 2nd in the traveling pants series - loved the first and I'm excited to finish the 2nd.

Okay Happiness, I know you are probably passed out because I am actually commenting, but I just wanted you to know I do look at your clever blog! Would I like The Chosen? If so, do you have it or did you get it from the library?
And Bronte and I agree with Gina...Hey There Delilah really is an awesome song.
