Peter Pan and summertime

So I picked up a book at the library that I had seen at Barnes and Noble recently. I thought it would be a good book for K. to read, so I was planning to bring it along to the beach house for him. I opened it up last night to see "how it read" and whether I thought he would like it.

Let's just say I was up too too late reading - I'm totally sucked in and can't wait to get my hands on the book again today. It's called Peter and the Starcatchers, and is a prologue to the Peter Pan story we all know and love... in it, Captain Hook is called Black Stache, (he hasn't gotten his hook yet) and Peter hasn't discovered the magic he possesses... I'm totally immersed in the world of pirates and talking porpoises and treasure chests... Mmmm I LOVE a good book.

I love summer and the freedom to lose myself in a book... the kids (the two who are here) are playing together famously and I should be able to read all afternoon. What more could I ask for?

    Peter and the Star Chaser by Dave Barry & some other guy. Dave Barry is of course the funniest writer in the world. I can imagine his kids story would be good. Maybe Kylers book will be the most coveted book in the house. I'm reading "Searching for God Knows What" right now, a great book, but I doubt that is as much fun.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
