Just Thinking...

What are some of your favorite books from your childhood? I have several that are still in my collection from when I was a kid. Being that I work in a bookstore, I have the "honor" of suggesting books in our Staff Recommends bay. Two of the books I've suggested have always been favorites: Mother Goose (illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa) and The Random House Book of Fairy Tales. I can't explain why, but like songs, these books bring back such wonderful memories for me. They bring back a sense of comfort and here's a list of favorites.

Mother Goose (illustrations by Gyo Fujikawa)
The Random House Book of Fairy Tales
A Surprise for Your Eyes
Giorgio's Village (Tomie de Paola)
Superscope Storyteller fairy tales book and tape combos

Okay, this was a totally random post but I was just thinking about some of my favorites while reading to Brad tonight.

It's Been Awhile

Life is always busy. Work is great, life is great... I just have had no time to update! I guess the biggest news these days is that I'm gonna be an aunt. My brother's wife is pregnant and it's still fairly new (about 6 weeks). Sunday she's going to be at my grandma's for lunch and that's when she'll announce it. I doubt any of my family members read this blog anyway so I feel fairly safe divulging it here.

Drew's been away at his dad's all spring break and I haven't been in touch with him but not for lack of trying. I can't get him to answer his phone. His 13th birthday is coming up at the end of the month and I'm so excited! We're trying to figure out what to do for his milestone birthday but I have no clue. Any suggestions are welcome!

I gave up alcohol for Lent and it's been a huge success. Not that I was this massive lush to begin with BUT I've never followed through with one single Lent until now and I must say, it feels really good. Just a couple more weeks to go and I'll be able to say I accomplished my goal. My friends from work are pumped to take me out after Easter and pictures WILL be posted, haha.

Other than that, nothing much else has been going on. Work is work-which is wonderful-and I'm still really happy. I guess it's time to wrap this one up; headed to dinner with the 'rents. That's it for now, blog friends!
