My website is at

a standstill for the moment. I’ve got a ton of reviews to reformat, and even more to write. I need a full two or three days to focus completely on scooperspeaks.com if I’m ever going to complete it.
I think I’m going to start playing Thursday 13 again on a variety of topics. The site is [...]

Yep, computer issues

I’ve been struck by computer issues. I think the computer has a personality and it knows that I really want to be online posting, commenting and getting my site up. Hopefully I’ll be back at full force by next week (maybe sooner).
So, it’ll take me a minute to respond to comments, but don’t worry I [...]

Wizard World (Chicago’s Comic-Con)

So I went to Comic-Con/ Wizard World yesterday. It was a blast. There were all kinds of people dressed up and taking pictures. Artist’s alley was filled with talented people. I learned quickly not to look the artist in the eyes. They’d then pitch their product to me. I wanted to browse not buy. Good [...]

Telling kids no to books

I don’t normally visit the library. I’m a bad borrower. Yesterday I decided to take my girls there though. I remembered being dropped off as a kid and spending all night there. I’d go home from school and ask to be taken to the library, where I’d stay until it closed at 9 p.m.

Off Subject

I’m going off subject with this post, but oh my God! Don’t let your five year old watch Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. My daughter just about had a break down when the wolf ate Peter’s duck. (I screamed, then laughed.) There’s also a part where a soldier throws Peter in a trash can [...]

I’ve [...]

Problem…

I’ve got a problem. My oldest told me this morning that she wants Santa to give her a pull string doll. I’ve been searching online and have only found extremely pricey ones. Any suggestions?

Yummy!

I would kill for a piece of this right now. What are you craving?

I’m Baaack!!!!!

I am so done with parties for this year. No more birthdays or any other kind of party. I’m ready to read until my head explodes and post until my fingers fall off. I’ll be making my rounds to visit all of y’all (anyone who still visits) and I’ll be searching out other reading blogs [...]
