Elizabeth Gilbert is brilliant!

Elizabeth Gilbert lived in amazing places. Italy! India! Indonesia! And where does she choose to set up housekeeping with her new hubby ? Care to take a guess?

Elizabeth Gilbert, NewJersey

New Jersey. Ha. Take that nay-sayers. Not only is Gilbert planted in my Garden State, but she’s right here in my part of the Delaware Valley.

We’re practically neighbors. I could bump into her at the IGA or the coffee shop or she might come to my church. (Errr. She’s probably not coming to church) Hey, how cool is it that after exploring an exotic place like Southeast Asia, it’s my unassuming little patch of Earth that she decides to call home.

Brilliant choice of real estate investing, Liz. Welcome, welcome.

Today I finished  Gilbert’s latest book,  Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage and this week I will be sharing my thoughts.

Have you read it? Do you plan on reading Committed?

Let’s discuss it together.

New Jersey teens arrested for plotting Columbine-like attack

Two New Jersey high school boys arrested for planning to bomb Bridgewater-Raritan High School.

This is just heartbreaking.

Friends, please pray for those involved: the two teen boys arrested, the high school students who were their alleged targets and for the community of teachers and parents. I grew up in the Martinsville section of Bridgewater. I graduated from one of the old high schools, before there were combined to form the one school there is today. I’m shocked and saddened that this level of evil found it’s way to my hometown.

An egg of a different color

Are you guys tired of me talking chickens yet?

Today we found our first blue Ameraucana egg. It’s been way too long since we’ve had blue egg layers in our chicken coop. Of course, the kids went crazy when it was discovered. Like finding a nugget of gold. Such is the life of the home schooled kid with chickens as “pets.”

Here’s a picture.

we have a blue egg! good (Ameraucana) girl!

And with that… maybe now I’m really back into the blogging mode? I can’t believe how lazy I’ve been lately. I want to record what busyness we have with Life, Home Learning, etc.,  yet at the end of the day I find myself unwilling to devote the time to sharing. I feel guilty, which is ridiculous because it’s’ not like this blog is necessary for our daily survival. Blogging is supposed to be FUN.

Anyway. We have a blue egg! That’s the most important thing right this moment.
