Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful holiday celebration and enjoyed having family over.

Santa was good to us and the kids are making plans for the gift cards they received...

I hope 2007 is good to each of you!

Love, J.

The Other Boleyn Girl

What an interesting read! Not since I read the "Josephine B." trilogy have I been so interested in historical fiction. Difficult to understand that women were treated so poorly- even more difficult to realize that it stilloccurs today in many parts of the world. I was sorry to finish it, it was so captivating...

Book Club: January

Thanks, Janine, for hosting book club last night. Brief, but interesting discussion of the book, and then on to other topics! :)

Our next pick is Murdering Mr. Monti, by Judith Viorst. We'll meet at Lauren's house...

Remeber, this book is out of print, but the local libraries have it and it available at amazon.com for a PENNY+3.50 shipping/handling.

Some things to think about:

1. Do you think it is harder to write comedy or drama?
2. Do you identify all at with Brenda? What aspects of her hit home for you?
3. How do you feel about her relationship with jake?
4. What do you think of her decision to act on an unfulfilled desire surrounding her birthday?
5. What supporting characters so you most like/dislike?

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

Personally, the fall is my favorite, but it is hard to argue with the joy of the upcoming celebration!
Hard to see, but C. is holding the candy cane and decorating the tree. She is all ready for her first Christmas and her letter to Santa was very long and detailed!
Packages are wrapped and mailed, Christmas cards will be dispatched tomorrow and the house is ready. We look forward to joining the Mooks for an early Christmas and to having family over on Christmas Eve. Tonight is our staff party and my favorite day of the month is tomorrow- BOOK CLUB!!

Kathy Griffin-

The ladies and I went to see Kathy Griffin at the McCallum last night. Brilliant and profane- simply awesome.

She is current and quick and cut's right to it...A very funny, smart woman!

It was so great to be out with some of the best women I know and laugh and enjoy each other's company. What a treat- I'm a lucky girl...
