I realize I stink at blogging when my second to last one is about Christmas and it's nearly March! What has been occupying my time you say? Well, besides chasing my little bundle of energy (Oliver), my younger brother had knee surgery (and 250+ pounds is not easy to help move around), my other brother and his wife moved in with the folks (yes, my parents have three adult children living at home with them now), I have taken up reading again and I'm a little ashamed to say that I can't get enough of guitar hero!
My brother Dave brought guitar hero with him when they moved in. I love it! It took me a few times to get the hang of it, but now I can play most songs on medium without getting booed off the stage. I really don't know how anyone plays hard or expert. Yes, it's a huge time waster and I feel guilty afterwards, but I'm completely in the zone while playing. My best song is, My Name is Jonas (Weezer). Rock on!
I am pleased with myself that I have found some good reads, thanks to my friend Gina. This book was so amazing I read it in just a few days, which I feel is quite a feat because there is no relaxing with Oliver running everywhere getting into everything. (He opened the door to my mom's curio cabinet the other day and brought me one of the figurines, thankfully it was all in one piece!) The characters in this story are fictional, but some of the events are historical. I would recommend this to everyone, it helped restore an attitude of gratitude for my life and empathize for people living in countries where some basic freedoms are not enjoyed. However, I will warn anyone who reads this that it is very sad (but don't let that deter you)!

Holy flip!
You posted. Not that I'm much better.
Haven't read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" yet. Heard good things. Heard it was better than "Kite Runner." Did you read that one too?
Go guitar hero!
Yea for a new post! And thanks for the recommendation...I think I'll see if our library has it and go check it out today. I've been needing a good book lately. I haven't played Guitar Hero but I hear that it is quite addicting. We are game system-less in this house. Ty is always telling me that Max NEEDS an XBOX 360. So far I haven't bought into it. :)
Glad you liked the book. You have to read kite runner too. It was really good too. Can't decide which is better!
Guitar hero is so fun! We don't have it, but it's a blast. Rock on!
