Introducing the Darlingtons and How I Keeps Up with My Peeps
It's Saturday night and I'm at home chillin' with Husbandido. He's illin' right now and I'm chillin. Perfect couple, no?
Thanks to the Darlingtons, the baddest book club that ever was! Put together out of my love of books and wanting to pass that down to my girls, we read a book together (or some of us did! ;-)) and got together a few months later to have dinner and talk shop. I'm normally not a huge fan of PF Chiang's after my disastrous evening out with Mighty Mom and MnM Girl in Vegas at another PF Chiang that left me reliving my days at Miyake. Yuck.
So I geeked out entirely and made bookmarks and a newsletter! What can I say, I do it all the time at work for other events, so why not here ;-) Excellent night out with the girls, so thanks! If any of you are into the read we just did: By a Lady by Amanda Elyot. Props to the last finisher: the Enforcer who knocked out the last few pages! Props to the first finisher: Tootle's Ma! Next up brings us The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant. Catch up if you're interested in joining us for our next get-together! We'll be gathering our beautiful selves in February so that's lots of time to read, folks. And no tee-tees allowed! ;-)
Because I've got a ton of blogs to catch up on, I've found a great online tool to share with my tech savvies out there...the Google Reader is the bomb, loves. Instead of trying to remember what sites are out there (I also use this for my news, gossip, and other websites I'm keeping up with), I have them all on one site. You might know this as a "RSS reader" or a "feed reader." It shows you what new stuff is on someone's website that you are actively reading, so I can, for instance tell what's new on Mighty Mom's blog or even the Chronicle! It's pretty easy to use, all you do is enter in the sites you follow (or once you download the bookmarklet you can click if you see a site you like!), and you're set. Just go to the Google Reader page and read away. Also you can peep the page I saved all the interesting readings here!
If you do not have a google account, let me know. I can hook you up with one. Yes, I roll like that, people.
Off to enjoy the rest of my relaxing evening, people. Going to settle into a book and see where it takes me. Peace!
