Reading: Making Rounds with Oscar

Making Rounds with Oscar by David Dosa, M.D.

Very cute, sweet book my mom sent me.  The author is a geriatrician, which is a very special kind of person, in my opinion.  In addition to a extraordinary cat, this book is also about those living with Alzheimer’s (or dementia) and those who care for them: a theme that my family is familiar with.  Very fast read for a good reminder to cherish those we love.

Reading: People Are Unappealing

People are Unappealing by Sara Barron

Whenever I go to visit my folks I always come home with a pile of books after having raided my mom’s stash of books she’s already read.  I picked this one up and declared “Oh!  I just KNOW I’ll like this book.”  I vaguely remember her saying something quietly along the lines of, “Yea, um, … that book is um… not really what you think it might be, I’m not sure…”  But, I dismissed her.  What??  How could a book with the perfect title NOT be great?!

OK, mom, you were right.  This book is weird and definitely not what I thought it was.  Not horrible, but just, um, wacky?  I think for the most part while reading I had a concerned look on my face and I was thinking Oh My.  And yet, I kept reading.

Watching: Angels and Demons

Angels and Demons

This was a fun movie to watch.  Very entertaining.  First scene with Tom Hanks swimming didn’t hurt.  That’s when I put my laptop away and started paying attention.

Watching: Duplicity

Duplicity

This movie didn’t hold my interest.  I finally got my laptop out to do some work while it was on.  Cute ending though.

Want: Gear Ring

The Gear Ring is made from high quality matte stainless steel.  It features six micro-precision gears that turn in unison when the outer rims are spun.

I guess this is only for guys though … it only comes in sizes 9-12.

School Portraits

Looking very cute and exactly how I sent him to school that morning.

And then this child… “I got hot and tied my hair up, I didn’t think it would matter.”  Argh!!
