Well-Mannered Frivolity

I did it!

Somebody give me a cyber-high five! I survived National Blog Posting Month. 30 straight days of pure, unadulterated drivel. I'm going to celebrate by taking the whole month of December off. Just kidding. I'd hate to let down my 10 loyal readers ( hi mom!).

Totally unrelated story- Will has two imaginary friends--Jeff and Peacock. The other day he was playing basketball with them in the driveway. I asked him what they looked like. He replied, "It's like this, Mama, Jeff is a regular guy, and Peacock is an actual peacock." 

As I was typing that James informed me that when he grows up he is going to have 2 wives because, "you never know when you will need an extra wife." Good advice indeed.

I highly recommend life with 6 year old twin boys.

Hello...hello....hello

is there anybody out there? 

I've been a bad, bad blogger. I pretty much blew off September. I have a good excuse. My birthday was on the 18th and Mary Jane's was on the 28th. I was so blown away by being both 38 years old and being the mother of an 11 year old that I had no time for blogging. The astute reader may even notice that I didn't even have a September Typelist of books on my sidebar for the books I read. Since I actually only completed one book during the whole month I decided to just add it to October's books. Now if I had started a Typelist for 'books started but not completed" I wouldn't have enough side bar space to list them.

The one book I did actually finish was A Thousand Splendid Sunsby Khaled Hosseini. I highly recommend A Thousand Splendid Suns. It is absolutely unfathomable how horrible life was for women under the rule of the Taliban. Just to give you a little tid bit--The women's hospital was so woefully underfunded that one of the main characters had have a c-section with out any type of anesthetic at all. I woman could beaten or an infraction so minor as laughing in public. It was a truly horrible abuse of human rights. I am now reading The Kite Runner by the same author.

I just finished a book called The Leisure Seeker that really gave me a lot of food for thought. I am going to blog about it tomorrow for The Sunday Salon. That's right, I plan on blogging two days in a row!

Peace,

Wendy

I decided to drop it

You may have noticed that I dropped the playlist music deal.  When I would go to my blog to proofread or what have you it was getting on my nerves.  I figure if my favorite songs were bugging me then they must be unbearable to my readers. You can all thank me later.  I'm keeping twitter though.  Twitter is fun and addictive.
Typepad has changed their compose page, and it's kind of freaking me out.  Have I ever mentioned that I don't do well with change?
