Happy Solstice!

Wow, I was just looking at all the blog posts I've started and not finished. It's been that kind of month. It's a time for changes and growth, all the while I feel like hibernating.

Bit Boy is considering going part time to public school 8th grade next semester. (This is HUGE, and one of the many posts I haven't finished is about this.) Our exchange student from last year is coming to dinner this week with the local girl who has apparently stolen his heart. The Lego Kid is starting to be more independent than I have ever hoped for, and is also keen to start his new business venture. Hot Dog has actually been quiet for an hour straight. (This probably has something do to with the new audio player he got for his birthday.) My father-in-law is declining faster than we had expected, although having expectations of a person in his 90's is probably silly.

And now a certain 7 yo is reminding me why I haven't finished anything this month...

November's Books

• Not Quite What I was Planning, Six-Word Memoirs, edited by Rachel Fershleiser and Larry Smith
• Refuse to Choose, by Barbara Sher
• The Arthritis Helpbook, by Kate Lorig and James Fries
• Michael Vey the Prisoner of Cell 25, by Richard Paul Evens
• Willpower, by Roy F. Baumeister & John Tierney

Ya, not a lot of books this month. I was busy doing other things. Willpower is now on my "to buy" wishlist. I hope to write more about it. It was a fantastic book for me, coming at just the right time.
