Summer inspiration

While my blog is private (well not totally private), I love reading others blogs and for some reason, especially other mommy blogs. Perhaps my love of reading blogs coincides with my love for short stories, who knows? Recently, through my terrible vice, the multiples chat board, I have discovered new blogs to read. One of the blogs is by a woman whose book I have at home, ready to read. How ironic. Her blog is funny and honest and I am addicted to her writing style and I now can't wait to read her book! Perhaps blog reading might overtake my registry reading addiction.

Again, lots of news to report. First, I got my car back! I am soo happy. It was $500 bucks, but seems to be running smoothly (please cross your fingers and toes that this is the last of the work). Second, Ciruc and I will be venturing to NC afterall! We are leaving 2 days later than planned, but at least we're going and I'm excited to get a vacation in this summer after all. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, I had my first chat with Laney and Alie in the car last night about underage drinking. Last night, after My Gym, before we picked up my car (hooray!!!) we stopped by High Tops for happy hour with the Towson admissions clan. Carl and I each drank one miller light (such a crummy beer special) and Laney and Alie kept asking for a sip. Um. no. They even tried to get Auntie "CC" to share a taste with them. After they got in the car, they asked again (obviously the beer was long gone). We talked, with our 2 year olds, about beer being for mommies and daddies only. Do you think that reasoning will work in high school?
