Week In Review
Reading
Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House By Cheryl Mendelson
I've recently re-discovered my library card and I checked this one out on a recommendation fron an ebook that I have on my laptop. I liked it better than Martha Stewart's big housekeeping book, but having read through it I don't feel the need to buy it either. I really liked it, but the easy book on home care and repair I got from Consumer Reports seems to cover it in much fewer pages.
Listening
Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone
My son really wants to see the newest Harry Potter movie coming out in July. I thought maybe we could start listening to the audiobooks to prepare him. Unfortunately, only Natalie and I are actually interested enough to attention to it and we've read all the books. Either way, it's been a nice way to fill all the time I spend driving the kids to their various summer activities.
Watching
Not much of anything really, it's been nice.
At the Movies
He's Just Not That into You-
I've been meaning to see this since it was in theatres, thanks to Redbox I finally managed it. It was cute and funny as expected and I wouldn't have minded paying movie prices to see it-had I actually found a good weekend to do that. As it is, seeing it for $1.00 was probably better.
Out and About
All I do lately is drive my kids to theatre classes and piano lessons mostly. And try to get my house clean and ready for the baby. BUT, I am headed out tomorrow for some girl time and a movie. I'm sure I'll report on that next week...

Melessa,
you're to be commended for reading through the Harry Potter series.
years ago we attempted the first book and it failed the 1/3 test. we ARE into LOTR fantasy and expected that we'd enjoy the series but it was a slow read and we gave up.
we also have tried the films and found them difficult.
we're curious as to your thoughts: do you LOVE the series or is it merely tolerable. we tend to agree with a lot of your reactions to the world and are willing to give a second try, but only if you've LOVED the series.
waddaya say?
thumbs up, down or sideways?

bARE-eYED sUN-
I do LOVE both Harry Potter and LOTR! But that's just my opinion. It doesn't have to be yours. For the record though, "thumbs up" from me. Thanks for asking.
