Currently Reading

My whole office is into reading lately.

We have all been going to the library, checking books out, posting about them on www.goodreads.com and sharing our reviews with each other.

So I just finished reading 90 Minutes in Heaven and True Believer (by Nicholas Sparks). Both pretty good.



Currently I am reading The Shack. I have had tons of people ask me if I have read this as they raved about it. But I have also heard several people think its boring. So far its really good, really sad and I couldn't put it down last night.



I am also doing something new. I am listening to an audio book in my car! Its a book by Sophie Kinsella - "Remember Me?" It is really odd to listen to a book while I am driving... but I feel like I am accomplishing something while I'm driving! It's weird.

What are you guys reading?

Two more things.. then I am done

Okay.. watching Cinderella with Kate last night and have two more questions.. then I am done.

1. They show the king in his pajamas.. and its those old fashioned ones.. that look like a night gown and he is wearing the little sleeping cap.

When did men stop wearing that? What are those called?

I tried googling it.. but can't find anything really.


2. Cinderella goes to the ball and the FAiry Godmother tells her to be home by midnight. So Cinderella goes to the ball, meets the prince and they dance for one song. I am thinking maybe 20-30 minutes has passed.. if that.

Then all of a sudden the clock chimes midnight.

So.. did this party start at 11:30pm? These people are serious partyers!! Sheesh.

Tracking device...

Do people really need this tool to track their sex life? Poor hubby, since this preg I can count on one hand I think...no need for a tool to help me remember. And what is the point of trying to remember, maybe if your trying to get preg, but this site doesn't look like that's really what it's intended for. Rather, to keep track of your bedpost notches...nice encouragement to sleep around and give your "scores" a rating of how they were. 1-5 stars? Gross. Decide for yourself.

Umm. this doesn't make sense

Kate and I have been watching Disney movies lately.. in particular Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. But I have some questions about some issues that don't make sense to me.

So.. The Fairy Godmother creates this beautiful gown and turns the mice into horses etc etc. She tells her to be home by midnight because the spell will wear off. So the clock chimes midnight and her dress disapears and the mice go back to being mice... but why do the glass slippers not change back? Why is that the only thing that stays the same? Why couldn't she at least keep the dress? I mean... WHO wears glass slippers around the house to do the dishes?


2nd. Okay so at the end of the movie all the people turn back into real people.. Did anyone find it was odd that the teacup lady was like.. old.. like a grandmother. How is she Chip's mom? Chip seems like he is 8yrs old?

Huh?

I was driving back from lunch today and was sitting behind a work truck at a stop light. There was a big box in the back that was labeled "Steel Pipe Nipples"
After giggling for a minute I got back to work and googled this. Here is what they are I guess.
Tell me that is not funny!

Fire Proof

If you guys never got the chance to see FireProof while it was in theaters, its now on DVD. It was a great movie - not Oscar worthy acting or anything though. Such a great message. This is one that Jim and I have said we will watch at least once year for our marriage.
