After sharing my new favorite book and shamelessly whoring it to everyone i know, my good friend and ex-professor (Hi Mel!) gave me an idea:
I was thinking of starting an online book club.
The benefits:
Everyone can read at their own pace
No obligation to participate
Random people can join
People can comment at their leisure
And if you've read it before you can just jump in and comment whenever.
The fun part for me:
I get to pick the reads
I get to ask the questions
(anyone noticing a pattern of severe control issues?)
So: All of those who read this blog, if you are interested please comment to this post with "wheeeeee" that way i'll have an idea of how many people would be interested in doing this. Cause if it's just one or two people i could just call them on the phone and say "so did ya like it?"

Back Log of Things to Post.
Back Log of things to post.
1) Wiggity Wednesday: Another loverly time had by all. In an attempt to do as much grilling as possible before the chill weather sends us in for Roasts and various meat pies; this week brought us Grilled Steaks, Salad, Green beans and Potatoes dug (that afternoon, as you can tell by the mountain of dirt beneath my fingernails - i look like i dug myself out of the grave) from our garden.
2) Workin' from Home. Yay Technology and my flexible and yet afraid of too much change Boss. I start my new schedule next week. In the office Mon and Thurs. Workin' from Home Tues and Fri. AT&T Aircard should provide me with Internet at my house. This will be the first time high speed internet will have reached the hollow. It is a cause for celebration. I'll post a celebration post as soon as i get the aircard.
3) Introduction: Thrombotic Thursdays. We have decided to implement another regular dinner situation. Ben's sister, Jes and her Fiance, Eric will be joining us one thursday a month. This regular dinner set up is nice. Since Esther has been born we don't get out much. We don't see our friends very often since we are, unlike many of our friends rural bound and on a schedule completely dependent on Esther's sleep patterns. So, true to the Mountain/Mohamad proverb people have begun to find ways to travel north. Last visit they brought Thai Take Out (as Ben and I are addicted to ethnic take out) and last night i cooked us up shrimp stir fry and rice. And Why "Thrombotic"? Because it sounds good with Thursdays - and because they have come to the site of the obstruction.
4) Hi Kirstin, Hi Heidi. I miss you guys!
5) Oh and MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK!!! "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. It's a memoir that is phenomenal. Please go out and get it right this minute. curl up in bed and don't leave it until you're done. and then come back here and tell me what you think!

crazy busy....
We're crazy busy these days. Lots of changes going on at work. And Esther is growing like a weed, a very, very smart and sneaky weed...
Here are some photos from our trip to Oma's house and the beach. (photos are care of Oma)
watchin' the waves with her Dada
Esther, where's your tongue?
.jpg)
I bet i can hide all these toys under the rug before you can stop me...
For some reason she loves to eat my sunglasses???
Esther, how big are you?
What do you mean this isn't a topless beach?
This is my daughter. She's part house fly.
She's dancing with her hand and my knees look too small for the rest of me... that's weird...

Sorry no new pics yet
I'm sorry I still don't have more pictures of the Poodle Gathering or new ones of the little terror, or really of anything fun or useful.
However, this week proves to be a real pain in the tuckus already, it's not even Wednesday.
Also, as a cryptic rant (i don't want to get anyone in trouble over the internet in case someone is looking for a reason to bump them off, i'd rather not be the straw that broke the camel's back), if SOME people did their jobs better, MINE wouldn't be so hard!!!!
sigh. happy Tuesday everyone.
Also Tasty Tuesdays have been evicted and put in temporary residence (or perhaps permanent) at Wednesdays. Wednesday has agreed to be a kindly host and all are well fed and cozy, if a bit hampered on time restraints...
