1. A collapsable stool. This is for Dorothy's dance bag, so she can sit on it while I do her hair.
3. "is there a Dotti patch shortage" THERE IS MY GOD THERE REALLY IS. As every GenX woman gets totally and completely fucked by perimenopause, the FDA has removed the black box warning from HRT, and IT IS SO HARD TO GET A PATCH REFILL. But also, I am so happy all of my sisters are taking a restorative estrogen bath, you know? TGF Walgreens-- I do not have to worry about it for 84 more days.
4. "Hillary Clinton bejin" because my eyes are getting worse everyday and also I suck at spelling. Was trying to find a high res pic of her speaking to the UN for a course promo poster our comms person is making for next semester. I am teaching my Great Speakers class, which is always fun.
5. I did not buy this one, but I did text a photo of it to Ben as I walked through Von Maur the other day. Tupperware is not the only thing on my bday list
We found two of those stools in a thrift store and snapped them up immediately for... fishing. Ha. Our son is constantly wanting to sit down while he fishes (fair enough, he could literally fish all day), and these are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same as Cooper about Watchman - I didn't think she would want us reading it! So I didn't. I love Mockingbird so much, so I just left it at that.
ReplyDeleteFor the reading list:
ReplyDeleteThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Life of Pi. Rebecca is great but slow to start ( my son was not a fan). The Hobbit. MacBeth ( the no fear shakespeare version works nicely, and then watch Throne of Blood , the Kurisawa version. Epic). a little Jane Austen, perhaps? More modern: Concrete Rose ( liked it better than the hate u give) Long Way Down.
I usually Google great novels for boy aged xx and found some good ideas. A lot of repetition, though, so you'll see Catcher in the Rye ( yuck) and the Great Gatsby.
All the Light We Cannot See. The Art of Racing in the Rain. Ethan Frome. ( not age of innocence- both my teen boys walked away after one chapter).
DeleteIn Cold Blood for Cooper. Harper Lee did a lot of the research for it!
DeleteHmm, I didn't know there was such a thing as a collapsable stool! I want one.
ReplyDeleteWow, Cooper wants to read "actual literature!!!" I wouldn't know what that's like because my daughter never reads (sob) and my son has recently gotten back into reading after a long hiatus, but he reads mostly sci fi. I just read Project Hail Mary and while I wouldn't call it literature, it is a very fun and interesting story. I'll be interested to hear what Cooper thinks!
