#Baseball

May 17, 2018April 29, 2018

It’s baseball season. I like to accompany my husband to the local Triple A team’s games. But I always feel like a pack mule. We need to take this, need to shlep that. So, even though there are probably a hundred tote bags in our house, I finally broke down and bought one just to take to baseball games.

I bought a team blanket on opening day, when it was so dang cold. My hat. Our drink holder that clamps on to the railing in front of our seats. There are pocket for my phone, keys, an umbrella and bottles of water. Fingerless gloves are also a must-have this time of year. Now I have everything together in one spot.

Book Reading Bingo: Bet Me

December 17, 2017November 23, 2017

If you follow my blog, you know my local RWA chapter is doing a Book Reading Bingo Challenge. Once a month (or so) I recommend books for a category or two.

Jennifer Crusie’s Bet Me would fulfill either of the following categories:

Dress for Success
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

The heroine (Min) needs to lose weight in order to fit into her maid-of-honor dress for her sister’s upcoming wedding.

The hero’s (Cal) courtship inadvertently takes the form of feeding her.

MIn and Cal are three-dimensional characters with plenty of backstory and great sidekicks. There are laugh out loud moments. There’s a great cat. She likes Elvis (Presley); he likes Elvis (Costello). Chicken Marsala is practically another character in the book.

Even if you’ve already filled your Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Dress for Success squares, you should read this book. You’ll be glad you did.
