I am so late getting this up – but between posting my daily journals, keeping a 6 year old entertained while out of school the last few days and dealing with SNOW.. yes SNOW in Georgia… well, you can see how busy I have been!

So today is just a short Friday in review week for me.

• I picked up some great new books at B&N this week for pennies.  I will post the list next week, I just simply don’t have time tonight! (I haven’t been able to read all day!)
• My niece, Gracie, is turning 5 this week.  Time flies by so quickly! I came down here to live with her and my nephew when she was only two years old.  I cannot believe how much she’s grown… and tomorrow is her birthday party at Monkey Joe’s.  I see a nap in my future tomorrow afternoon.
• We all went to see The Lightning Thief today in theaters.  I am sad to say I was disappointed by it and am glad I read the book first, because I enjoyed it a whole lot more.  What is it with the movies getting actors that can’t act these days?
• As a plus, my nephew’s favorite book is being made into a movie! Diary of a Wimpy Kid is coming out.  He (and I) can’t wait!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  And while you are here be sure to check out the following giveaways going on!
