I’m exhausted. Ya know, I think I’ll take a nap. I really do need one. A big, long one. Not only is it the kids spring break this week but I have so much going on within the next 6 weeks….WELCOME SPRING! MaMaZina Mag’s spring issue just launched this week and you must order your copy today, it is ROCKIN’ the house! I’m also preparing for my daughter’s First Communion which is next week. She’s got her fancy, puffy, lacy white dress, white shoes and headpiece and she is ALL SMILES. Then my second son, Nick, is graduating from UCONN with a BS in Structural Biology. Cool. So I’m planning our trip to Storrs for Mother’s Day weekend cause the school set graduation on Sunday, May 9th, MOTHER’S DAY. So much for my swedish message. Son number three, Phillip, graduates from high school the first week of June and then a few days later we head to his college orientation for a couple days at UMASS Lowell. Hey, another good excuse to do some shopping in Boston!
Since I finished reading Kathryn Stockett’s novel The Help (and how I miss reading this book everyday) I have started to read Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir Eat, Pray. Love. I know, I am only like 3 years behind as I think everyone has read this bestseller, but I’m finally reading it, and loving it. Actually, I want to read this before I see the movie in August. ”I wish Giovanni would kiss me.” That’s like my all-time favorite line :)
Oh, would you look at the time…where’s my book? Time to walk the treadmill for the next hour and read more about this Italian stud Giovanni…
Arivaderchi!

I just love the book I’m reading. I want to keep reading, it’s so hard to put down and I’ve been staying up way too late….but I also don’t want the story to end. The Help is Kathryn Stockett’s first novel, and it is excellent. I can easily see this becoming a box office hit at the theaters and I’d be right there in line to purchase my little ol’ ticket. For those of you who have read this novel, don’t you just get a kick out of Minny? And of course, you just have to admire Miss Skeeter for all that she is and all that she has done…I don’t want to tell too much of the story, in case you haven’t read it yet. Well worth your time, and money. A wonderful read!
