So I have recently gave in to my curiosity about Twitter. After the drama on the VMA’s with Kanye/Taylor Swift/Beyonce and all if the publicity about the celebrity reactions on Twitter, I could no longer resist! An easy signup later and I was quickly entranced. I started “following” a few celebrities and then you can see who they are following. And so on. You start following people just to see their daily quips and pics and the next thing you know, hours have gone by! Oh, and did I mention that you can comment directly to these celebrities? And sometimes they answer! Who could resist?

I just finished reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.
Yes, it was one of the Oprah books, but that is not why I read it. Mom said it was good and she usually is a good judge of books so I rented it from the library. I rent all my books from the library, much more economical in this economy and I am not left wondering what to do with a finished hardcover.
Anyway, the book is based many years ago on a farm in Wisconsin. The history of the family based in the book is given This is a family who breeds and trains dogs. You are then introduced to Edgar. Edgar was born unable to speak. But Edgar has a special gift about him and a special relationship to the dogs. The story explains the youth of Edgar and the changes in his family. I will not give the entire story away because I am sure some people have not yet read the book and don’t want to ruin it for anyone.
The book is very long and very good. But the ending was horrible. It just left you there. Not knowing what happens next. Will there be another book? Will there be a movie? (I hope so!) So be warned, if you do not like that type of book ending, it will leave you feeling disappointed.
So my 10 year old daughter has caught the online video bug and has started filming quick shows with her best friend Jordan. We have set her up a video blog on WordPress and they plan on updating them weekly. It is scary how naturally this comes for my daughter. She should definately go into acting!
Anyway, the site is www.thelolgirls.wordpress.com for those who might be interested. She believes she is going to get famous doing this, like iCarly, who is, of course, a fictional character.

SAT’s
Current mood:  blessedOk so this weekend my son, Matthew, took the SAT’s. He is twelve. I am so proud that he did it, but also feel guilty for putting him through it. He was a wreck before it started, but then found out it wasnt so bad. He walked out of there very relieved, while the high schoolers around him were crushed at how hard it was. I cannot believe how smart this boy is. I love the fact that he is so proud of it. If he was to get a C on his report card he would be crushed. I am happy he has this drive, while still being a funny, sensitive child (on the verge of being a man!) Good going, Matt, shoot for the stars!!

Recently finished Cell by Stephen King. One afternoon everyone who is listening to a cell phone goes homicidal. Nutty. Then they become zombies. Those who are not partaking of the cell phenomenom (or just forgot their cell that day) must fight for their lives. The zombies try to get the non-phoners converted into zombies. Non-phoners have to figure out a way to get the humans back. Way creepy. Makes me think twice before I answer my calls. Especially at 3:03 pm.
