5 great things (about this weekend)
**this post was inspired by Meredith Moore over at Fairy Tales and Cappuccino and my dear fellow blogger Shari Green**
1. Shannan and I got to talk/podcast/laugh with Kelley Vitollo from Kelley’s Korner. Seriously, she is a kindred spirit and one of our new BFFs. She shares our same passion for reading AND talking about books. We had a hard time hanging up the phone, we just kept talking ‘book.’
2. Since both Shannan’s husband and my husband were out of town we had a slumber party! It was filled with book talk, web stuff, kid stuff and lots and lots of laughs. From her sleeping on the couch to me in Ethan’s twin bed (our boys had my bed) and staying up till 2 a.m., I can’t think of a better way to have started my weekend. LOVE ya girl!
3. Valerie! She’s wearing one of our t-shirts…she is an official STACKGirl now!
4. Ahhh, the joys of going to grandma’s house (I’m smiling just thinking about it). My kids love their Mimi. So much so that they ignore me completely, which means I get to read! You girls know how much I like to read, so this is one of my favorite places to be on the weekend…kicked back, feet up, book in hand with Mimi entertaining my darling little children.
5. While at Mimi’s I finished a very fun and entreatingly cool book, Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill. It’s dystopia (LOVE) with nods to Nirvana, Monty Python and Soundgarden. Hey, I am just happy I picked up on them…
See you in the STACKS!

A slumber party with you two sounds like it would be so much fun!
You’re so sweet to link to me! I love this list–I’m still a big fan of slumber parties, and I think I always will be. And I’ll have to check out Black Hole Sun now!
Awww…I love you too!!! This is a perfect list!! Kelley was a blast to talk with! I can’t WAIT to do it again!
Why is it that when you are at your mom’s house, you get to read. When my mom is here, we shop, shop, and eat! I want to read! Doing so now… xoxo
btw, it’s official! We need to plan a bog ole’ sleepover with books, food, and fru fru drinks!
Awww, thanks Jenny! We think we are fun.
@Meredith – thanks! I think I saw the release date for Black Hole Sun to be 8/24 (the same day as Mockingjay)
@Shannan – BFFs forever!
I had so much fun chatting with you guys too! I love talking books and seriously, I haven’t laughed so much in a long time! We def have to do it again and I wish I was close enough for the slumber party!
