I just finished Nora Roberts The Circle Trilogy… OMG. I’m still recovering, was awesome.

Best line of the series:

“Is that how you win arguments?” he demanded. “A fist to the face?”

“I was done arguing. That was punctuation…”

LOL Genius.

I hope you do blog about “The Time Traveler’s Wife” because I’ve been debating on whether or not to see it.

Fun post. It’s always strange going home. I really enjoyed Mad Men! Also so happy for your getting your writing done and sending it out to readers. Yay!

Lori and David — Okay, started a “Mad Men” post last night. I’ll ask you guys your thoughts as soon as I can get that up. Looking forward to the season now. …

Lori — ahhhhh! One of the very editors I was just talking about, that always made me nervous to submit to for the first time! — anyway, to answer about beta readers, I went back and added a link to last post to explain what I was doing there. … Are you finding some good fiction-writing groups?

Dawn — Hello! You’re so right about that – siblings feel differently in your old home than they do when you’re out and about, huh? Interesting but true!

Debi — Wow, your husband’s childhood home is at least 100 years old? Now there’s a cool story to tell! I love old homes. So many stories there. Okay, I’ll do posts about TTW and Mad Men and try to get on the ball, here. So much to write about, so little time … : )

(And glad you’re loving Act II, Debi!)

I saw “The Time Travelers Wife” with my girls and mom this weekend too! I thought is was a very sweet movie. I love the whole moving through time thing and trying to put the pieces together…
I have never watched “Mad Men”, maybe I will have to try renting a season and check it out. I do watch “Lost” and can’t wait for that to start again (again with the time travel!)
Sounds like you had a fun weekend at your moms, I always loved hanging out over there too! I can’t go to my childhood home, my mom isn’t there anymore and we moved a few times so it wouldn’t be the same:) I do love going to my husbands childhood home though – his room is exactly like he left it and the house has been in the family at least 100 years and there are a lot of treasures! She doesn’t have library like your mom, I wish she did!
BTW – I am about half way through the second Act and loving it

MAD MEN! Wow! What a GREAT season opener!

So much to say about it, but I’ll wait for your next Mad Men post to unload it all.

I can so relate to staying overnight at Mom’s with the nostalgia and the newness paralleled. My room isn’t the same either. Now photos cover the walls, and it’s set up as a baby room due to my sis’s younger ones. There is such a cool connection between siblings when together in Mom’s house. From years of childhood experience nothing else can replace.

Saw Mad Men! Had higher expectations, though, but still happy it’s back! Tell me about ‘beta readers.’
