Amish Christmas
Well here you have it kids.................maybe some of you Englischers will be lucky enough to get a Christmas card from your Plain friends.
http://www.amishnews.com/amisharticles/amishchristmas.htm
I think it is funny that there is all this electronic info about the Amish but they can't see any of it or might not even know about it. What if people are saying the wrong things? They wouldn't even know, so they couldn't correct it. Oh well!!
Enjoy and hopefully the info is accurate - they must have Amish consultants - probably Sarah Fisher's 2nd job behind being a Plain wife, mother, and servant of the Lord.

Let's go fly a kite
WECT reported yesterday that UNCW freshmen got to design and fly kites after finishing "The Kite Runner" for their big project. Wow. I'd have done fantastic in school if all I had to do was fly kites. :)

NO FAIR
Hey guys--just wanting to post a weekly update! We are finishing up our book for next week...it is so funny! Some of you have even finished it. And then Jennifer is picking our new book for next week. We're on a roll, but with the holidays coming up, we'll start slowing down, I'm sure, so don't freak out.
Do you like the picture? I put it up there so we would all remember that Brooke is in Hawaii this week. For 10 days. I found this picture online. It could very well be Brooke, I'm not sure. But that would be highly coincidental. And anyways, it looks like a dude.

ARE YOU READING??
Okay guys--I know we all have a big reading weekend ahead of us....I am going to have to hustle to get this book done. I just have no idea how it is going to wrap up. I mean, I do, but I don't. I wonder when Dorothy will come back into the picture??
So, I thought I would wrap up the week with something that makes me laugh, Trudy Wiegel. I would love to have her at book club.

Turtle Heart
Hey guys!
We had some good conversation on Wicked last night and from what I hear, everyone is really enjoying it--I'm so glad, I was a little nervous about this one, I have to admit.
Everyone have a great weekend--we decided to read up to page 229 for next time. It's getting good. We all seem to be pulling for Elphaba even though we know what's going to happen. Kind of like Marley and me. I knew that dang dog was going to end up dying.

We're so pumped about Kristen's Beach Bday.

We'll just have to have our unveiling on Friday....I'm not going to tell you what it is (na na nuh boo boo).
But I think you'll like it--I hope you do anyways!

Toasted Hair Pins
So, we are finishing up our book for next week....for those of you who haven't read it all yet..
Sarah is supposed to be getting our next read--I hope that it's in by then. Sarah, do you have an update on that? Oh, by the way, hope you're feeling better.
Amanda is starting her Chandler Bing job on Monday, so I wanted to give her a SHOUT OUT--WHOOP WHOOP.
Do you guys like the cartoon pic I found of our girls?? The 3 Furies--We'll definitely need to delve into everything wrong with Natasha at our next book club.
We're all set for next Wed, 7pm at my house--unless you hear from me. Check your blog daily!
Have a great weekend!

Broom Isle Beauties
Is it just me or does Brit look like she needs a pimp in this picture? She would not make it as a Broom Isle beauty since they are all such a bunch of sexpots. I am definitely seeing this book being made into a Lifetime movie. Perhaps we should be the ones to suggest it and they can give our book club props in the credits.

Other Book Club
When I was starting our blog the other night, I really wanted to get the name: wineandbooks.blogspot.com, but it was already taken. I didn't think anymore of it until today and I got on that blog.
I don't think their book club would like our book club. And I don't think they would like our required reading either. We should challenge them in a read-off.
Sprinkle some spirit girls.

Can't Wait to Get to Heaven
Good Evening Book Club! I think our new blog is going to be too fun!
So, we read up to page 77 of our new book. So far, it is a sweet southern novel. My favorite part is when the main character thinks that Tot looks like a snow monkey. That made me laugh.
Okay, well more than anything, I just want to see how this blog thing works!
Testing, 1,2,3.
