So I'm asking for an e-book reader for Christmas. I love the look of
the Sony, but the Kindle's what I hear about all the time. I realize
I''m a little behind the tmes just now getting into the digital book
age, but it took me a while.
Now I've got to figure out where to go, what to get, what I want. I think I want (need) a back light.

DD moved away to school, so you'd think the TV wars would be over. But no. See, I have a few shows to DVR:
The
Closer and Raising the Bar are on Monday. DH is fine with those.
Actually, he pretty much leaves the room. I think Gossip Girl is on
Mondays too, now, but I can catch it later if I have to.
Tuesday is blockbuster night.

A depressed journalism adviser by the end of the day.

At 8:30 this morning I got a call. It's DD. Her words: "Hey Mom. Are you near a computer?"

Me, waking up and wondering what's going on: "No."

Her: "Okay. Well, we'll figure something out."

Me: "What's going on?"

I cried again about five minutes ago because the book I originally wrote for DD, so she would actually read one of my stories, finaled in the Mollies!!!!

For some
reason, pulling in to the gas station  we always stop at after long

school. Five hours away. But I feel very empty.

I'm going to have to figure this school thing out. Today was another
bad day. I kept the leg up more, but it still hurt like heck. I left a
little earlier and then I went to my first day of outpatient physical
therapy. All it was was the evaluation. Barely any movement at all, and
when I got home, I thought I was going to die. The outside knob of the

And I'll admit it. I'm a little nervous. This will be the first time
I'm expected to be UP all day. Since the accident I've always been able
to stop as necessary and put my foot up so it would stop swelling. It's
teacher work week with lots of in-service and some decent work in the
classroom time, and I've got tons to do. I should've been working on

The more I think about The Shack (reviewed earlier this week), the more I'm disturbed by a lot of its theological message. It's presented in such a way that I missed some of the more controversial aspects. The book pretty much takes modern Christianity and throws it away, but it does so in such a way, you almost don't realize it because so much of what is presented is true.

Made it to church today. Out of the house for four full hours with another two-hour trip planned for later. Woo Hoo.
So today's message was all about Esther. If I was in charge of teaching Esther, I'd spend a week at least on the beginning.
