two weeks until mercedes marathon…

for those of you curious, momma made it 13.1 miles today – super proud – my hero

(okay, those days that my hero isn’t julie – or st. k – then it’s my momma who runs super-far:)

“back to work” by clinton – yes, irony that a president who doesn’t work any more writes a book about work – in his defense, it’s less about working and more about what the republicans (tea party) are about to mess up unless the world listens to him:) anyway, i’m a political junkie so it was a good, entertaining read – in our current state of “anti-government” talk, it was a compelling case for why we need government (for like, oh, i don’t know, DECENT SCHOOLS!!!)

(like spain park high:)

“chicago: a biography” – an auburn library read – very exhaustive, 500 pages of tiny type – so it took me most of the week – great read though – particularly if you’re going there this fall to watch the Cubs win the Series (ha – really going up there to run the streets in the marathon – and now i’ll know something more about the city than i did in ’09)

“once in a lifetime” – another auburn library read (odd that both came from there – but it’s not like people are reading down there anyway – there are trees to protect!!!) 1930s time drama about a trio that go to hollywood and exploit the talking industry movies – someone had recommended it – was okay – the great part about a drama is that they read quick (well, shakespeare doesn’t – but all other dramas do:)

got the newberry winner up next – hope your journaling is great this week
