Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Beautiful, heartbreaking and stunning right to the last page. Filled with amazing descriptions, truths, and painfully tragic characters. My only beef was that it was seriously depressing (hence the four stars instead of five).
Broad Street by Christine Weiser
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was so much fun to read. Weiser creates this fabulous world of chick rockers, booze, men with a skillfully written dose of uncertainty, wit and truth.
Spring is finally here and I decided to make a few little note cards to send to family and friends. Stamps, glitter, markers and colored pencils. Doesn’t get easier than that.
Happy Spring!
In our tiny little apartment, my husband had tried to shove about a thousand or more cds in closets, under the desk, on top of the desk, on shelves. Music is his life. He eats, sleeps and breathes it. After three years of searching for random cds we thought had gone to the junkyard with Joe’s old car (“didn’t we have a bootleg of that concert…”), Joe finally purchased several second-hand IKEA cd towers. While they’re a little crowded in our family room, they do the trick. He alphabetized and categorized and now all we have to do is go to the shelves and pluck whatever tickles our musical fancy.
Boo supervised.
The finished product.
Cheers to Joe and Boo.
So many of my friends are either parents or parents-to-be and I love seeing what they do to the nursery. My friend Mary (since 7th grade!) created this beautiful nursery for her first child, James Lee, with the help of her handy husband, Mike. Check out their blog at: http://michaelmaryandjames.blogspot.com. I love the giant wall sticker!
Cheers to the Kerwins!
JC Miller’s story, The Strangers, has been published by Thieves Jargon. Believe me, you’ll be sucked right in from the first sentence.
