I'm about half way through now and it is quite a good book.  I just saw that Kate was in Seattle overnight darn it we could have hooked up for dinner.  I hope her flights are better than K's.  At least from the news reports it looked like a very dangerous day to fly.

K we will excuse you and you can jump in anytime when you feel up to it.  Congradulations I read your blog and I am very excited for you!  Celebration kisses to your forehead and a big huge hug.  :-*  :-*  :-*

Co Queen Jan you remind me of the type of person that starts and finishes a book in record time.  Good to know that Target has good prices.  My husband got the book from a big chain store and I was surprised at the price.  I went to costco and saw alot of the books mentioned on this post and bought them for $7 a piece.

Steve I got the knitting club book so I will send it to you when I am done.  You can hide away to read it so that no one will know.  LOL   ;) 16

I'm so excited for you!  I can't believe your surgery has been scheduled so quick!  I think the Lord has His hand in this   :)
I was quite concerned for you with the weather last night and wasn't sure you would make it to your appointment.  I'm so glad everything worked out for you. Enjoy your anniversary alone time  ;)

Darn! I will just have to read a book on darning instead...

I have started reading My Sister's Keeper, I am hoping to get a chance to finish it before the queen gets back and makes us write essays on it. So far I don't like Sara very much...

K, I think it so great that you are having that T3 procedure, it must be very exciting. You have been truly patient!

Steve?  Knitting?  Where does he find the time??? 

Hey, Steve, can you knit me a hat - something to cover my BAHA in the cold Chicago winters LOL  Any shade of green will do  ;D

Kaybo, incredible news about your surgery.  I must admit I had no idea what "T3" was, but I just got done reading your blog and now I understand.  It's amazing the things I learn on this forum.  The 28th will be here before you know it; best wishes for a successful procedure.  BTW, your girls are just beautiful.

OMG, I love to spend the day with a good book; just don't get many opportunities.  Spring break starts for the kids tomorrow though, so they're off to my parents for a few days without me - I'm knee deep in budget development at work and can't take time off right now.  I'm hoping to sneak some reading time in while my house is nice and peaceful; something that only occurs once in a blue moon.  Can't wait to re-read the book.  As I recall, it's quite good and I remember not liking Sara either.

OMG,
My flight to Seattle from Chicago was a breeze (4 hours) compared to the one to China (10.5 to Tokyo and then another 5.5 to Guangzhou)).  I was in Seattle briefly this morning on my way home.  Next time, I'll give you more warning and we can meet up.  Raydean too!

I reread most of the book on the flight....

Steve: The Queen is back:-)  No essays required<grins>  Just comments and good ol' fashion brain cells...ergh...thinking... Hmmm...and BTW, no grades assigned either....

K: Gone a few days and look at all the exciting news:-)

Co Queen Jan:  What's next for your Baha? 

Safely back in Chicago although my days and nights are confused right now...What an experience and difference it is in China.

I am almost through!!  Since we had travel nightmare trying to get to Baltimore yesterday and then waiting for the Dr. today, I had a lot of time to read!!  I am having the T3 on the 28th so I hope I can "discuss" on the 30th.  How are we going to do that??
K

Good question. We are charting new waters. Because we all live in different time zones, I will offer the suggestion of posting a question and then just like all of the other threads, people respond to it and trek down any path it takes us until it fizzles. Then on to the next book.

Other ideas?

Kate -

this sounds like a good idea to me; I don't know any other logical way to discuss.

The BAHA is doing good - skin is itching like crazy, but it's healing quite nicely.  I have 4 more days of neosporin to go - UGH; hate the goop in my hair - and then I'm not sure what the next step is.  Lori mentioned something about using a steroid cream to keep scar tissue from getting thick, but I'm not sure if that's protocol or just what her doctor had her do.  I have an appt. with Dr. Battista a week from Wednesday, so guess I'll find out then.  Thanks for asking,

Count me in for the next book you'll be reading.  I have already read My Sister's Keeper......great book.  I am currently reading another of Jodi Picoult's.....19 Minutes, so far...a good read as well.  Count me in next time around :)

Well, surprise, surprise!  I finished My Sister's Keeper in record time (for me).  I couldn't put it down!  Usually I can't sit still for more than 5 minutes, so I don't bother trying to read anything more than a magazine article, but this was a good book.

I picked up 19 Minutes also and started that one.  My husband said he's seen me read more books this year alone than in the entire time he's known me!  I guess I needed brain surgery to slow me down enough to be able to sit still!

19 Minutes is very good.  I liked it even better than My Sister's Keeper.
