Right now I am making a Green Chile Corn Casserole and Bacon Wrapped Club Crackers for a pool party that we are going to this afternoon. I forgot the most important ingredient for the corn casserole (you guessed it, the corn!) so I had to run to the store this morning at the crack of dawn to get it. So much for sleeping in!
Yesterday we hit the beach and took my son’s friend with us. Let me tell you, with all of the electronics that these kids have combined, you’d never think they’d settle for a sand bucket and a couple of shovels but they played with these for hours. Must remember this at Christmas.
I reviewed one book this week, Historic Photos of the Chinese in California by Hannah Clayborn. It was a fascinating look at California history. It’s part of a series and I would be interested in seeing some of the other books in the series.
It’s been a good week for reading but I am reading so many books that it doesn’t feel as if I am making much progress. I try not to do that but it happens sometimes when there are too many books that I want to read.
What I’m Excited About
I am very excited about Book Blogger Appreciation Week. Details can be found here but from now until August 15th you can nominate your favorite book blogs. You don’t even have to have a blog to nominate. To nominate your favorite blogs click here.

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend with a good book in hand 🙂
We just got back from taking The Boy out for a birthday brunch. I’m telling you, we don’t have parties anymore as he has outgrown that at age 11 but the celebration just keeps on going. He went to a water park when we were in Palm Desert. He went to Six Flags all day yesterday and then we had brunch this morning. Then next week he’s going to the beach with a friend for more celebrating. I guess he takes after me! He wants to stretch it out as long as possible. Who wouldn’t if given the chance?
Right now I am reading Fear The Worst . I’m really into it but it’s been a busy week so I have only been reading it in spurts.
You are probably wondering about the title to this post. Well, after my washer overflowed last week I decided to buy a new washer/dryer set. It was scheduled to be delivered in the afternoon but they have been calling me all morning asking me if they can deliver it early. Well…no because we aren’t home.
Well, now we ARE home and they called again to ask if they can bring it. I said “yes” and we are still waiting for it!
UPDATE: They just came. Whew!
What I Did
I reviewed one book this week, Ugly Man by Dennis Cooper. It’s was a seriously interesting read. I learned that I am quite twisted and demented and it warms my heart to know that some of you will read it just to see how disturbed I truly am. That’s blog love.
I survived my last week on the Game On Diet. I will post an update tomorrow but it was a fun experience to do this as a group. The team aspect definitely kept me in check.
