Book review: "Eat, Pray, Love"

I finally finished my book... I just ready "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elisabeth Gilbert I got it because Oprah plugged in on her show, and it was flying off the bookshelves, so I thought... hmmmm sure why not? I checked out the library, and it was checked out of course, so I decided to buy it (I get much use out of the library and never actually have to buy books, so what the hay?) and it was good. An easy read. It was interesting because of all of the places that she travels throughout the world, so you get to kind of understand Italian culture, and Balinese culture and whatnot, also she goes to India to learn meditation... kind of interesting. It was wierd how she kind of found bits and pieces of religions that she kind of put together, it didn't make much sence to me, as far as applying it to myself, but it was different, and something I enjoyed... So, I have it for now if you want to loan it out, otherwise planning to loan it to my sister and sister-in-law...
In other news: We are going to a wedding tonight! It isn't like Michelle's wedding where we get to have the kids to go my parents for the night and make a total date out of it, but it is going to be a lot of fun! It will be cool to spend some time with my inlaws and other friends that are going to the wedding. Had Sophie for the last couple days, she was sick, but still a pretty good champ. The kids are all learning to share a little better (I actually have to say that Adalai is part of "the kids" in this one because that little lady DOES NOT share well at all!!)... It is getting cool and has been threatening rain all day, so they had to stay in, but were really good anyhow. So, that is basically all for now, just thought I would kind of let you in a little bit on the book and let you know my personal feelings on it...
It would probably rate a 2 1/2 star (out of 5) on my list...
Peace Out

Kiddos playing outside

Things are really different from when Ben used to work normal day shift. There are several pluses, and some minuses to it. For the most part, it isn't too bad. I don't so much mind giving the baths and kisses goodnight and love yous... It is just kind of a flop from what we are used to. All three of my sisters moved and have been now getting their things unpacked in their new places. Quite interesting. The baby is going to be 7 months soon, and again I am on the fence to if I should keep nursing or not. I mean I know I probably should because I am able, however... ugh I don't know. Bottle feeding (formula) just sounds more appealing to me right now. She is eating solids which is really nice, so anyhow... We are working on getting our car fixed, because it makes kind of an icky vibraty sound now. So, hopefully we will be able to fix that this weekend, along w/ all the other stuff we got going on. I guess that is all for now, I just wanted to write and give an update.

3 Sisters Moving...

All three of my sisters moved during this weekend. My actual sister decided that she wanted to move in with one of her friends. My sister-in-law Em, moved in w/ Chris to Illinois, and Kel my sister-because-she-is-wonderful... moved into an apartment in PA... wierd. Wow. I wish I could visit with all three of them, but for now it looks like the only one that I will realistically visit is Kira... OH dear. Anyhow, just thought that was crazy that all three of them moved this weekend!

Chris Stills

So this artist opened for mandy the other night. I am so stoked about this concert still, and Kir and I really really liked his guitar, and his WHOLE SET! (yes kir you have to admit you even liked the french song!! ;))... So, I thought I would put a sample of it here. Lucky Kir got his CD and autograph, oh well tho. I have gotten a couple of songs on itunes, and they always have stuff on youtube... So, enjoy!

Mandy Moore Concert at the Pabst

This is from You Tube... one of my favorites that she performed on Sunday night. (I love this video, minus the dancing in the background)... It is a great song tho... Anyhow, Kira and I were literally touching the stage the whole time, could have completely touched Mandy's little stilletto's that she was wearing.... It was a ridiculously great concert (minus one obnoxious fan!) I had a blast. It was so wierd to be right there, and have her smile at us and stuff. So good.

Kira (aka Keeeeea!!)

Had a great time with Kira on her birthday today, it was really fun!


Funny things that Wyatt has done today...

1-dropped his milk cup on the floor and said (Oh Maaaaaaaan u totally had to hear it!)
2-Blowing (maybe blowing kisses, but seriously just blowing puffs of air) at the Moon and saying "Keeeeaaaa ballll!!! (Kira, Ball)"
3-About 15 minutes after Kira left, walking out to the porch and waving to nothing saying "Bye bye Keeeeea"
4-Oh yeah and before Kira actually left, saying "Birrday Keeea" (Happy birthday Kira!_
Love you sis, I hope you had a good birthday. Thank you for your wonderful kindness, your amazing friendship and dependability, the way that you always hear me out even when my story is going absolutely nowhere, and for truely caring, when no one else does. I can't tell you how much you mean to me and how wonderful you truely are. You amaze me with your strength, and I am so happy to have you as my greatest girlfriend. Love you so much and thanks for being my sister!

Changes..

I haven't been feeling well lately. I decided about 3 days ago, that it would be a good idea if I change my diet. I am pretty active with the kids, but don't really have a work out regimen... And since I am getting a bit older, I noticed that my metabolism isn't as kind to me as it used to be! So, I am trying to change my eating habits and my exercise patterns and such. Anyhow, longer story short... I gave up Coke (Coca-cola). Oh geez. I am going to have one today, but haven't had one in 3, so that is really great! I don't think I have gone that long ever, even when I was in London, and didn't really want to afford the not so good version of Coke that they sell in the UK. Anyhow. That is what is up with me now. I got sick while quitting my caffeine habit, how lovely. I am probably sick because of no caffeine! I am suprised at how chilly it got outside lately, but we have relaxed this weekend, and taken the kids out to play in the yard for a couple hours yesterday and we are going to do the same today. Church is tonight, and we have a busy week, which includes my sister's 21st birthday! Wahooooo! My husband starting his new job, I start watching little Sophie... wow it is going to be lots of changes to get used to at the same time. All along with not drinking Coke... oh dear. I watch a thing on the Food Network called Heavyweights last night... Coke vs. Pepsi... really made me want to drink a coke.
Well I am going to get the baby up and take her outside to play w/ her big brother, and daddy!
Peace ya'll..
