Christmas Movies: Ice Age Continental Drift

Let me preface this post I love Christmas. But, since having children, I haven’t really loved Christmas as much as I used too.  Mostly, because now I am “The Mom”.  And it sucks being “The Mom” at Christmas. You know why? Because “The Mom” does…

Movie Review: Midnight in Paris and American Reunion…

I hurt myself working out. Nothing too major. I pulled a calf muscle. It has taken a good week of rest for the stupid thing to calm down. Every step has been a major pain in the calf. So, instead of working out at night,…

Book Reviews: Half Blood Blues and Most Talkative

I’ve been waiting far too long to read this book…. It was the Scotia Bank Giller Prize Winner last year and I always like to read Canadian authors.  But the only real mention of Canada in this book is the odd talk about Montreal. It’s…

200 lbs of Female Friend…

My Book Group recently went to Vegas and it was beyond amazing. There were 7 of us and it worked like a bloody dream. I hate that I even have to mention that it worked like a bloody dream.  People just assume that because its…

The Virgin Cure…

I just finished reading this… . I absolutely loved Ami McKay’s other book, The Birth House.  So, when one of the girls at Book Group brought The Virgin Cure, I couldn’t wait to get my greasy little hands on it. And I will continue to…
