Father's Day

By -

I spent Father's Day at my parent's house. It was so hot outside but we made the most of it. We ate yummy shrimp & steak kabobs and had fresh strawberries and ice cream for dessert. My dad got a new kitten and he named it "Precious", although, my mom forbids us to use the Lord of the Rings Gollum voice when we talk to it! We played Yard Golf and Buddy swam in the pool. It was nice to be outside in the country with all the pretty flowers and animals and fresh air.
On a side note, only 2 more weeks until I have the whole month of July off of work! Meow!

Oh and I saw the movie "Waitress" on Saturday with K & K... it is a really cute movie! I would definitely recommend it... though be forewarned that afterwards you will want to go eat some pie or cake or something rich and chocolaty. Which we did, we went to Cafe Latte and had Chocolate Amaretto torte and Lemon Poppy seed cake... However, Kyle was pouty because he couldn't have a tart with berries... poor baby! :) or as they sing in the movie, "Baby don’t be blue, Gonna make for you, Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle. Gonna be a pie from heaven above, Gonna be filled with strawberry love. Baby don’t you cry, Gonna make a pie, all my love for you in the middle of my heart." aaaaawwww!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
