Talk Healthy

Ro, we have the movie for this weekend also! I actually sympathized with the mother and felt like the book identified a lot of feelings I've had about motherhood but hadn't put my finger on. The parent child relationship just unfolds a lot differently than you would intellectually expect. Namely tha...

May was a little slower for me. I finished The Year of Magical Thinking. Really well written and thoughtful but a little too "slow" for my liking. It's not really a book with a plot and I had a hard time accepting that. :lol Then I read We Need To Talk About Kevin. Oh my gosh, SO GOOD. One...

I can sum that book up for you in one sentence: It's hard to make friends as an adult. :lol Is it worth reading or is it total fluff? I tried to get into Dragon Tattoo (and this is so shallow of me) but I kept getting hung up on the names and not being able to pronounce them, which for me meant not...

Rowan, thanks for the heads up. Luke seemed to think I could just pick up with the 2nd one (he's read them both) but I was lost during the *movie* so I can only imagine how lost I'll be trying to jump into the books. Maybe I should just read that Joan Didion book. Get it over with. :lol Then I want ...

I finished the Jaycee Dugard book, "A Stolen Life", in one day of traveling. Easy read and obviously held my attention. I also finished "So Much Pretty" by Cara Hoffman. It was good. Written in that style where it changes character perspectives each chapter. I'm not a fan of that...

Hey all! I'm on a reading kick so thought I'd check in. My reading comes and goes depending on how busy I am. In the last couple months I've read: Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels - easy, fun read Lit: A Memoir by Mary Karr - excellent! A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard - interesting story ...

Holy shit! You guys read a LOT. I almost can't even remember what I read this year. Do you guys keep a list going all year? You must....

I'm reading this: http://www.amazon.com/Escape-Carolyn-Je ... 283&sr=8-1

"Escape" by Carolyn Jessop, a former polygamist wife. It's a page turner. Very fascinating.

Luke knows, I'm sure. But we only have one bathroom.

I'd crack him in half with my thighs!

TAGLINE!!!

Jude Law WAS cute. Then he got into that on-again-off-again with shallow Sienna Miller so I think he just comes off like a schmuck.

There is no such thing as too much cheese. Except on pizza and I only say that because pizza cheese gives me major GI issues. Annnnyway, your menu is fine. You could add a vegetable-maybe a salad with a tart/sweet flavor, to balance all the rich, savory dishes you have. I had a hard time with my men...

Beana, that note about the cinnamon is really funny. I could totally see myself improvising and being like "ah, some cinnamon would be great!". So unless there was a note in a recipe like that, I would absolutely try it. :lol This pie sounds yum! I'm going to a party tonight at 6:30, I won...

Yeah, it is.

Anyway, back to April's blood. Yeehaw!

Only send them to the people who want babies though. I don't think Anna would be happy if she got knocked up because of you.

Well, we are a group of 20/30 something women. It seems like we don't go very long without someone being pregnant. The last gap was between Beverly/Aly and Marie. That was about 3 months or less.

So yeah. We're due.

Crystal, you wanna take this one?

I thought the surprise was going to be that you're pregnant! (Oops, I mean for you that you're not. But we are due for another pregnancy here. looking around)

Congrats on the iron levels! Can you feel a difference in your energy?

Yep, Molly's right! (I *am* impressed that you remembered any of that!)

The "Adia" part is obvious. The "belle" part is because I used to have friends who called me "Annabelle".
