Lots of Good Books!

Tis the season to READ!  Really, the only time I get to read is on the bus, or if I get off work early before making dinner.  Regardless, I love to read and I forget how great it always it.  Losing yourself in another world, etc etc.  Of course I have my favorites, but lately I have gone with some recommendations:

A memoir of the authors father.  Sad, twisted, yet amazing someone can remember their childhood with such detail!

Wow and amazing.  Maggie is my friend Erica's mom, who I have known for 15 years.  In this remarkable memoir, Maggie talks about family, love, losing, and finding faith.  Really a beautiful book, and extremely touching, and the writing is incredible.

So far so good!!!!  I'm through the first couple of chapters, and its really compelling......

Penis's are funny.

It's kinda like the whole fart thing. I don't get it, I don't think its funny, I don't know why a whole skit was dedicated to it, but really, this type of thing does indeed make me laugh.

November 3, already?

I'm exhausted.  Purely exhausted.  Coffee doesn't help, either.
I'm associating this with the fact I went out Friday and Saturday night.  Both nights super fun, but I should have recovered by now.
I think its a combo of grading midterms, writing business plans, searching restaurants for www.chicagoeatstv.com and trying to make commission.  I mean, something has got to give, right?  But haven't I been saying that for years?
Halloween was very very fun.  I wouldn't trade the weekend for anything.  I do wish I ate a meal on Saturday, though!

Just Julie's Julie's.

So one of the funniest things that came out of Rachel + James moving to LA, other then Rachel's obsession with finding the perfect bagel and her buying stock in the Coffee Bean is her Dollar Store.  They have wonderful rare finds, like the Steven Seagal Energy Drink. No joke, check it out here: http://www.lightningdrink.com/

Julie's.

Yes.  They make maxi-pads for that time of the month that are called Julie's.  Quite Fab if I do say so myself.
