A New Definition of Hip: I have been a bit out of the loop lately, busy adding a new title to my CV: Nurse Ratchett. My husband had a whole new right hip put in one week ago. This was the result of "little" tumble a few years ago that involved a double black diamond, snow, a mountain, and way more testosterone than common sense. He thought it was just bruised, but it went all downhill from there. (Pun very much intended. I am loving this role of Nurse R) He’s doing great and luckily the dogs are scared to death of his crutches so they give him lots of cruising room. Now if I can just keep him confined for a few more weeks. It ain’t easy to keep the knucklehead down. Gotta love him. And I do. Otherwise I'd kill him : )
Going Green: Even though this year I am a bit partial to “blue,” 2008 seems to be the year of going green. I’ve added more of those curly bulbs. They really do make a huge difference in the electric bill. Also saw that Burt’s Bees (they do make the best lip balm) has a goal of not creating any landfill waste. I’m shooting for that too. We already recycle newspapers, junkmail, and lots of other paper and cardboard, plus all of our yard waste, plus cans, bottles and plastics. I keep wondering, what’s left that is still going in the trash? What are you doing to go green?
Book News: Another review of The Adoration of Jenna Fox over at Kid Lit. Thanks Tasha! I really liked what she said about the secondary characters, too. Lily was especially one of my favorites.
Writing Quote: “I think a certain fearlessness in the face of your own ineptitude is a useful tool.”

Hm. Works for me.
Work in Progress: Baby steps. Almost done. I feel like I am going to be bloodied and bruised by the time I cross the finish line. Forget the bandaids. Have a margarita waiting for me. |
