An oldie but goodie. This was from when we still lived in the apartment. Lucky for us, Briscoe is still just as naughty.

I had lunch with a friend yesterday who brought with her Twilight by Stephenie Meyer for me to borrow.  I’m very interested to see what the hype is all about.  If I can finish it by the weekend (and I can’t imagine that I won’t–after all, it is a book for teenagers), she and I will go see the movie together with all the tweens and pre-teens in Omaha.

Have you read the Twilight series? What did you think? Will you be seeing the movie?

I should print this illustration by Jody Barton and hang it every room of my house. My perfectionism definitely adds a dash of misery to my otherwise happy life. It’s a habit I would love to be able to break.

A huge TY to Molly for sending me one of her extra November 5th issues of The Washington Post.

we not me

When I saw this poster on More Ways to Waste Time, I immediately thought of marriage. As I’m learning, in a successful marriage you often need to do what’s best for the relationship (the “we”) rather than what’s best for yourself (the “me”). I’ve been told this is a crucial lesson to learn, especially during the first year — when it’s easy to fall back into singleton selfishness.

You can buy it for $18 here. Unfortunately, I love the message, but I’m not crazy about the colors.
