Read!

With the start of Spring Break, I now have the time to start catching up on some novels that I have wanted to read for awhile. I’m in the middle of reading Life as We Knew It, and I can honestly say that this book is depressing the hell out of me! A story of a teen-age girl’s survival after an asteroid hits the moon, the book presents a look at a world falling apart, without heat, adequate supplies of food, etc.  I’m only halfway through it, but it seems so depressing and sad I’m not in too much of a rush to finish it!

The other book, Touching Spirit Bear, is not so much depressing as it is gross!  This is a story about a boy’s survival on a remote island.  The descriptions of how he struggles to survive after a vicious bear attack are just plain disturbing.  Yuck!!!

And Todd wonders why I buy the newest issue of UsWeekly every Friday . . .

Snow bunnies!!!!!

Yes, it is Good Friday here in Chicago, but you wouldn’t think it if you were looking out the window. Weather forecasters are predicting anywhere from five to eight inches of snow for Friday and Saturday.

All the snow is going to make those Easter egg hunts a little more difficult now, don’t you think?
