  1. Life on the ice this Saturday morning

    by , 08-18-2012 at 06:21 AM (day in a life)
    I just bought almost all the books I will be reading in school this semester. It is kinda odd to buy 17 books that you know you will read within 3 months, I own 2 so in all it's 19 books to read and articles and essays. I saw one schedule and the teacher has about 50 pages of extra stuff to read, besides the novel for each week. Well I am gonna start reading right now even though school starts in September, the first book in a course about the autobiography is Rousseau's Confessions. It's more than ...

  3. Some Musings on Margaret Atwood

    First off I want to start out by saying that I do genuinely like Margaret Atwood, I consider her to be among my favorite authors, I do not deny that she is a very skilled writer, and creates some very interesting stories. I posses several of her books, read a number of them and looking forward to continuing to do so.

    But with that being said, I do find myself shall we say in disagreement, or at odds with her at times, and certainly I have enjoyed some of her works more then others.

  4. kids and school, so much to do

    by , 08-16-2012 at 05:11 PM (day in a life)
    Well tomorrow my son is going to his dads house for the weekend. I am going with my brother and my dogs on Saturday to my stepdads cabin, he and my mom will be there and they asked if we wanted to come cause it's my brothers birthday. I'm sure it will be nice, the dogs can run around and I can hopefully read a bit. I just got my list of books for next semester and I have bought 13 of nineteen I need to buy, I own one and my brother one. But that is alot of books to read in 3 months.

  5. Saturday in the rain

    by , 08-11-2012 at 06:25 AM (day in a life)
    Finally we get some decent rain. It has been so dry on the ice that in some parts they don't have water! Not my part luckily. But It has been poring down rain all morning and all last night. I love it. I have a small gazebo if sorts, it has big windows on all sides and parts of the ceiling. I love listening to the rain pour down on it.

    I got my boy a library card two weeks ago, I have a problem with libraries cause you have to return the books when your done. My son doesn't have that ...
