Every now and then I post what I consider my "What's Hot" list, and here's my current edition!
Music - I don't have any one favorite right now, but I'm working on the mix for our Autumn Party coming up in October. Any suggestions? And I don't want any cheesy party songs like YMCA - right now I've got the following:
Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams
Just Dance by Lada Gaga
Come to My Window by Melissa Etheridge
Free Fallin' by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Just a Girl by No Doubt
You get the drift! Let me know any classic, fun songs (preferably that everyone will know and be inspired to sing along to!)
Movies - In February we got a Roku player for Ryan's birthday present - this allows us to watch movies instantly through Netflix on our television! Ryan has actually used it MUCH MORE than I have, simply because he's a movie junkie and I don't enjoy watching movies I've never heard or seen anything about. But this is such a cool concept! Netflix has a stash of favorites, such as Dirty Dancing and A League of Their Own and tons more, not to mention a lot of movies for kids. It's nice when I'm home alone at night to put an old favorite on, simply because I can watch without paying too close attention!
Books - Jodi Picoult is fabulous! She is the author of My Sister's Keeper which just recently came out in theatres! I haven't read it yet, simply because I fear the subject will be too painful right now, but I've read The Plain Truth and Salem Falls and they are both FANTASTIC! She has an amazing way of approaching the topic from all sides, so even days after I finish the book I'm thinking about another point-of-view and pondering the gray areas. If you're looking for a new author, I'd definitely check her out.
p.s. also finished Nora Roberts newest hardbook The Black Hills and as always, Roberts delivered!
Web Sites - Blogher.com is a giant venue for women everywhere to sound off about everything! Many of the blogs are extremely well-written and (although I don't use them) it provides chat rooms & social networking tools to connect with those that interest you! I enjoy reading them every now and again when I want to be inspired to write - it usually does the trick!
For Shannon - Some of you have heard me talk about The Tushy Book which we bought for Shannon back in April or May! Written by Fran Manushkin and illustrated by Tracy Dockray, it's all about (you guessed it!) tushies and includes super-cute lines like:
Every tushy's in the back!
Every tush has a crack!
Where would you put your underwear
If your tushy wasn't there?
Gotta love it! And Shannon saying "tushy" is about as cute as it gets!
I'm interested in hearing about your favorites, as well... Please feel free to share!
