My sister's keeper

Book for July is My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Wendy (and others) have copies if you need one. Plan on Wendy's, July 9th, 7 p.m.

A gentle caution: Picoult is a strong writer, with a love of strong words, including some offensive language. If you are uncomfortable reading this, stop -- come to book club in July anyway. We'll fill you in on the plot and you can eat the lovely treats Wendy always makes.

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party

The book for June is "The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party." Meet at April's June 11 at 7 p.m.

May - Pigpens to Paradise!

Are we all ready to get organized? I got the itch for some spring cleaning and feel the need to get control of my life in general, so for May I am suggesting "Confessions of an Organized Housewife" by Deniece Schofield. The library also has several other books along these same lines which also look good. Deniece Schofield also wrote "Confessions of a Happily Organized Family." There are three others I noticed: "Getting Organized:the Easy Way to put Your Life in Order" by Stephanie Winston and "Stephanie Winston's Best Organizing Tips; Quick Simple Ways to Get Organized and Get On With Your Life." And finally, "Get Your Act Together! A 7 Day Get-Organized Program for the overworked, overbooked, and overwhelmed." by Pam Young

So there we have it. Some of these women are completely over the top, but pick out something that you can use and come to book club ready to share. I have two of these books so call me if you'd like one of them. I hope you will find these motivating and worthwhile. Happy reading! I'll see you at my place May 14th! Tendra

Thank you!

It was so wonderful to see so many of you supporting me tonight! I'm afraid I was more emotional than usual seeing your smiling faces out there. Thank you so much for coming - it meant so much to me! See you next month!

Yea! Tonight will be so much fun!

Okay Everybody, if you would like to carpool over to the Easter Pageant prior to our Bookclub discussion at Moxi's JUST come on over to my house a little before 6:30. We will leave right at 6:30!!! So Far I have heard from Vicki, Erin, Wendy, Rebecca, Janae, and April. My car can fit 6 besides myself. So at this point I'm tentatively full BUT we don't want anyone riding ALONE (That's no fun) so just come over and we'll make sure everyone has a car and some friends to be with. I can't wait!

PS If you can't come with us, just read down a few posts and read Angie's message, she left directions to the building in there.

April 9 Book Club Event!

I've heard back from several of you and those planning on attending tomorrow have also stated that you are good with going to the pageant. So we will plan on meeting at the Paramount LDS building a little before 7:00 so we can go through the tour at 7:00. I placed a call to Angie and ended up leaving a message with Carl. She will get tickets for either the 7:00 or 7:15. I won't know for sure till I hear back from her. So just plan on the 7:00 JIC. Following the tour (45 min-ish) we will go over to Moxi Java to enjoy a steamer and discussion on the play.

If you'd like to car pool give me a call. I can fit 6 other's in our car besides me. So we might all be able to go together.

Why I will miss Book Club

I am in an Easter pageant called "Journey to Jerusalem" this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with my stake. I play Mary Magdalene, mostly because I think people think I look Jewish.

Anyway, I am inviting you and your families to come. Its free and at the Paramount Building from 6:30-8:30 p.m. each night, with a Saturday matinée from 3-5 p.m. The pageant takes you on a 45-minute tour as you seek Jesus through the people in his life. It's a great missionary opportunity and a wonderful way to teach your kids about the true meaning of Easter. You can just show up and they'll put you in a group, or if you have a night in mind, I can get you tickets.

I will miss you all terribly at book club! Cross your fingers for me!
