Yes, I am a BIG boy!

Why does she do this to me?

Big, but very handsome!

Another week has flown by since my last post. Things have been very busy here. Mommy Bonnie started classes on Monday and - wouldn't you know it? - a young girl ran into the back of the Jetta while Mommy Bonnie was slowing down for an accident in front of her. The damages are not too bad since the bumper did what it was supposed to do and absorbed the impact.

Mommy spent the last two days mowing along the road for the second time. She said it was easier this time and she was hoping she would not get poison ivy, but she did. Maybe it won't be so bad this time.

Book review: Julie and Julia by Julie Powell. This is the book that the movie was made from...the insane challenge one woman gave herself to make every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, in 365 days (and blogging about it). Mommy didn't think she would like this book when she first began reading it, but it turned out to be pretty funny and entertaining. What Mommy appreciated most about this book was the honesty. Powell wrote of her failures as well as her successes, and pulled no punches in describing the filth that built up in her kitchen over the year (sinks that would not drain, flies, maggots). Mommy thinks this book is well worth the read and thinks it would make a great book club book.

Mommy will be on vacation starting Wednesday of next week. She will be home for 12 days and is looking forward to doing nothing!
