Well, the holidays are over and it’s time to start afresh! I’ve already finished one book! It was Becoming Ms. Burton, about a woman who, after recovering from addiction and the stigma of being a felon, started a home for women returning to society after prison. It was quite good.
I’m currently listening to Simon vs. the Homo sapiens Agenda. I cheated and watched the movie before finishing the book, because I thought it would be good for the kids to watch a story about how difficult it is to be gay in high school. They had a lot of questions, partly because it was a PG-13 movie (“what’s sex again?”), and partly because of the topic. I was proud of M, who usually covers his eyes at kissing scenes, cheered at the romantic moment. (Sorry if that’s a spoiler.)
I’m reading Five Midnights, by Ann Davila Cardinal, and Unspeakable Mind, Shaili Jain.
D & M both surprised their mom with new hair colors – pink for D and red for M. (That’s apparently D’s “cute” face and not her “annoyed” face. You can see how I was confused.)
I got over my cold, but then came down with a sinus infection. It’s not a bad one, so it’s all cool. Oh, and my hip has stopped hurting, so I can start training for a sprint triathlon in my efforts to lose weight. I’m typing on my phone, so I can’t put my data table up, but I lost a few pounds over the past few weeks. Hopefully I can keep it off.

Love your kids’ hair and that they enjoyed Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, which I thought was great as both a book and a movie.

Hopefully I will finish my first book of the year today. I also need to lose some weight after the holidays. I find that watching a film while reading a book to be a very neat experience.

I usually wait till I’ve finished a book before watching the movie. Or I watch the movie first. It’s rare for me to just delve right in to both media at the same time.
