Gotta love the conversation I had with Peter Quill yesterday at the Mos Eisley Cantina:

Quill: "Alright, Sammy-Boy. I guess you're wondering why I asked you to come here."

Me: "Honestly, Star-Lord, sir... I have no idea."

Quill: "You just turned 18! Time to take you out for drinks like a man!"

Me: ".....Mr. Quill? That's 21. I'm not old enough to legally drink yet."

Quill: "Wait. Seriously?"

Me: "Yep."

Quill: "................well shit."

I have decided to enlist here, so I am now a proud member of the military here in Galador. I am looking forward to working with you all and keeping everyone safe.

Well, I can say that my daughter certainly knows great taste in guys. I didn't think that I would be ready to move on here. But I have met the most amazing guy and I have found happiness once again.

I should have signed up for the musical this year. I totally missed the mark on that one. But, I did enjoy going to it and sitting in the audience. I will definitely be making the next round of auditions.

Why is it so hard to get laid while trying to stay sober?

I am on maternity leave, but I am doing one last class this month for all you kids out there.

I am on maternity leave because there is just a month until Thomas and I's baby's get here.

Since I am having one last sewing class at Delacour Fashions, please sign up now. The next one won't be until at least summer. Come on in and sign up or email me, (comment here).

Well, Brooke and I start the year off with 4 children, soon to be 5, as Brooke grows closer to giving birth. As you saw in her post we welcomed Chase Alan Scott and Kingston James Scott to the family. Sydney is our only little girl for a few more weeks. If it wasn't for our nannies we would be going crazy!

Back to the point of this update. The Writers Block will be having a Book Club starting this month. We are also still hiring, more so now that our head Barista Olive is becoming famous.

That being said, the info for the book club is down below. Sign up now.

BIG BOOK CLUB, PART 1
Thursday, January 21 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
THIS WINTER: 2666
A two-part book club discussion of Roberto Bolano’s novel, 2666.


The Big Book Club tackles some of the thickest and most enduring novels in world literature. Broken into two sessions over four months, the club invites readers to experience these books at a leisurely pace and to enjoy the companionship of fellow readers making the same journey at the same time.

In 2066, three academics are on the trail of a reclusive German author. A New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; a police detective in love with an elusive older woman—these are among the searchers drawn to the border city of Santa Teresa, where over the course of a decade hundreds of women have disappeared.

In the words of The Washington Post, “With 2666, Roberto Bolaño joins the ambitious overachievers of the twentieth-century novel, those like Proust, Musil, Joyce, Gaddis, Pynchon, Fuentes, and Vollmann, who push the novel far past its conventional size and scope to encompass an entire era…”

This is the first of two book-club sessions. Attendees are encouraged to read 2666 through Chapter 3 (pg. 349) by this first meeting.

I love this time of year. The Snow, Christmas, so magical. I am loving the decorations, the house smells so nice too, like sugar plums. Perfect for the holiday season.
