Two Kisses for Maddy

I read this book in a day. Helped that I had it on the ipad ALL DAY at work (yeah, probably should have been working). Anyway, I just couldn't put it down. I'm wondering if it's because I am a Matt Logelin blog reader, or if someone who just picked it up with no prior knowledge of the story, would think it as fabulous. So READ IT and then let me know! I've started Bossypants and have been giggling at some of the jokes. It's quite funny. It's going to be my treadmill book this week. I'm 10 weeks late starting training for my 60km WALK in July. Gots to gets going. Good books help. Keep 'em coming. ARRRRRRRRIBA! Have a fab time in Mexico, Senoritas! Have uno mas shot of tequila for me. Por favor. C

Books and Movies

Hey Y'all... 3 Thoughts I have today for my favourite people.

1. I want to read Two Kisses for Maddy. April 14 it comes out. I've been a Matt Logelin blog reader for a long time now and love his writing already. This one requires tissues. A.Des, I know you are with me on this one. We can cry together.


2. I want to read BossyPants by Tina Fey. Lainey says it's awesome. Do I trust Lainey? No. (Remember how she dissed the name Cash?) Do I get her sense of humor? Totally. Plus I really like Tina Fey...not girl crush like her...just, like her.


3. I want to see Water for Elephants (click here for our blog thoughts on this book from ages ago) even though a fan of R.Patts and Reece Witherspoon, I am not. (I talk like Yoda, don't I) SInce we are all busy and important people, I'm just going to throw out there that we all go see it Tuesday, April 26 at Chinook Centre. Or matinee styles on Saturday, April 30. Do I have someone to share a popcorn with on either of those dates? I like extra butter!!!!

See you ladies tomorra.

What's up BC?

Hey...everyone's kinda quiet on the blog comment front... I can't imagine why!? Maybe totally swamped with Gymnastics Festivals...giant moves...sick babies...trips to MX and HI...dog sitting... Oh BC...where are those dog days of summer...where my biggest decision of the day is what Tony Roma's BBQ Sauce to slather on my kebab...or to fruit or not fruit my drink...sigh... What are you reading? Doing? Feeling? Thinking? I need to know these things.

WICKED is coming to the Jubilee

Who wants to go see Wicked? I never did finish the book, but would totally be interested in going to see the Stage production.

Is anyone else in? June 29 - July 17. Tickets look about the $100 range.

Thanks Shannon for a truly gourmet Book Club feast! You outdid yourself. Just so we can all remember it was salmon (with butter sauce), quiche, brocolli (with cheese sauce - need that recipe), and yummy lemon risotto/rice. Also the bread and dippers and of course the sticky toffee pudding for dessert! Soooo good.

Also some great books to choose from.
