Listen, I'll be the first one to say I don't enjoy bookclub when everyone loves the book. But last night the only people who related to the book were me & Miji. I'm a little stumped by the lack of reaction to the subject matter - it's about friendship. Expectations and the ways we fail one another- set in the most vulnerable time in girls' lives - during high school & college years. Miji did a stellar job with the questions and made every effort to draw out some deeper themes - like the importance of gfriends in shaping who we are as wives & mothers, how "the myth" of the title applies to the way don't always present ourselves truthfully to others, how the myth of friendship can be broken when both people realize their friends aren't the people they thought... Clearly, I need to talk about it more. I'll spare you the rest, but if it piques your interest enough to pick up the book then my job here is done.
Moving on...the Owen has returned to diaper days. My head is completely stuffed up - ears clogged, eyes watering, coughing, hacking, stuffy nose - so i removed potty training from the list yest. I was trying to conserve energy for bookclub. Sorry mom. We'll try again soon. The Owen began to attempt to perform solely for the rewards as in "put my underwear on and gimme some m&ms". Not exactly what we were going for...
I did manage to get a couple scrapbook pages done. One is for the scrapjacked blog. The other just to use some cool paper from the SIStv collection:
Gonna be a hot one today. Stay cool.
The End.
