A Scientifical Update

While I realize that I'm seriously delinquent in my blog updates, this one couldn't wait:

Tanner and I were discussing the recent attempted abductions in the area, and I mention it was boys who were being targeted. His response:

"It's a scientifical fact that boys are stupider than girls, Mom."

My job is done.

2010 Reads

Another busy year of reading. Loved the Hunger Games trilogy as well as The Great and Terrible series by Chris Stewart. Left to Tell was extremely disturbing, but well worth it. I was in college when the Rwandan Holocaust took place and still I knew very little about it. Tragic. I also re-read several books for book club and loved them as much the second time around.
