READERS UNITED

Well the weekend is here again.  I must say, I am a happy camper as we are going great guns right now, lots of meetings between now and Thanksgiving.  Halloween starts this weekend for us.  We have a trick or treating party tonight at a friends.  Then Luke has a halloween party on Sunday and then our neighborhood does trick or treating on Halloween night, so we should get more candy than we can deal with.  Luke is going to be Luke Skywalker, had to order his costume online as we couldn't find it anywhere here and Mags is going to be a zombie witch. 

Mary - I haven't watched Homeland, but I know a lot of people love it.  As for And Only to Deceive.  I liked it, at times the h annoyed me, but this book is definately her growing up book.  I got book 2 and will see if I am interested enough to keep reading.  It is too bad, you don't have an AG store nearby.  I know going to the store in Chicago is great fun and really got Mags excited.  I hope Sandy doesn't come by your way.

Sandi - Most of the shopping trip was looking, but we did pick up some shirts for both kids - we found some good sales and we needed more long-sleeve shirts.  We are finding that Gap is a good store for Mags, so I just need to pop by there occasionally and see what is on sale.  I hope things go better for you at your current job and you can find something soon.  It is so frustrating when your current job is in jeopardy, even worse when the trust is gone.  I will keep my fingers crossed.

Margie - $240 in only three hours is great.  Did you keep everything that didn't sell?  I have a friend who does a sale once a year and just keeps what didn't sell in bins and brings back out the next year, if it doesn't sell after (I think) 2 years she donates it.  Much more organized than I am, but a nice way to make some extra spending cash.

Thanks for all the thoughts on Maggie's reading, she did much better on her test last week - got an 85.  Now we just have to keep it up.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I finished And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander and am now reading The Wilder Life by Wendy McClure, it is about a woman's quest with Laura Ingalls Wilder, it is interesting so far.
