I’m way behind on my book reviews. Like about 10 books behind. But let me just say that if you liked the Traveling Pants books, definitely read Ann Brashares new book, The Last Summer (of You and Me). The title is a little long and unnecessary, but the rest is excellent. Her first adult book. Loved it. Here’s a much better review than I have time or inclination to write.

By the way, that blog I linked to, Books Are Pretty, is excellent. Great reviews that always start with a very funny, often unrelated intro.

Today, my football team (University of Central Florida) got their asses handed to them. 57 to 12. By USF of all schools. The annoying upstart football team formed 20 years after us, and already ranked #5 in the nation. Lame. Lots of mistakes, but I’m confident UCF will rally and win the rest of the season. Go Knights!

I started a new quilt today. The pattern is from Denyse Schmidt’s book Quilts, and it’s coming along nicely. I’m using Moda charm squares from the Fall Back In Time line. Beautiful. Pictures coming soon. I also finished (yesterday) six lavender eye pillows and two lavender and rosemary heating pads. Pictures coming soon also.

Well, it looks like we’re not going to hit Rio Las Vegas at the end of our vacation because Continental switched our flight and our layover city is now Houston. I’m a little sad, but I got good news to fix this. Turns out my school, UCF, is playing Univ. of Alabama Birmingham the same weekend we’re in Alabama! I’m totally going to that game, and some college and high school friends that live in that area are going with me! How fun is that. Did I already mention this in my blog? I’m pretty stinkin’ excited about it. Can you tell?
