by Kristin Hannah
An intriguing novel about how life and the decisions you make when you are young can affect your whole life. The story of Angel, always the rebel, his brother Francis, always the saint, and Madelaine, the love of both the brothers lives. Teenage pregnancy, heart transplants, single parenthood, and the price of being famous are just a few of the topics of this page turner. Make sure to have kleenex handy!

Top 7 Reasons I Love Akron
7 Walking downtown on a beautiful sunny day.
6 My birthplace!
5 Wonderful memories (such as watching fireworks behind St. Thomas then singing Christmas carols at Aunt Dorothy's house while walking home to Grandma & Grandpa's house...I've always been a little strange!).
4 The terrific artistic planters here and there throughout downtown.
3 The smell of Wonder baking bread.
2 All of the cool places to eat (you knew I had to mention food). Luigi's, Waffa's, and Crave just to name a few.
1 The library!!!

Last Day
Well, today's my last day at Brunswick...kind of a blur. I think I'm still tired from going to the movies last night. The staff has been super sweet. Telling me how much they'll miss me, giving me presents, and a terrific going away party. The people are the best part of this job and I will miss everyone at MCDL!

Smart People
Carrie and I saw Smart People. It was good. Ellen Page is an excellent actress! Carrie--she's 21!! We were debating her age. She's been in a lot of movies and TV. I hadn't heard of her till Juno though.
Smart People is about a college professor (Dennis Quaid) who is dealing with the loss of his wife, his family, and his arrogant personality. Ellen Page is the super smart but unsocialized, lonely daughter. Thomas Haden Church plays Dennis Quaid's adopted brother. Very quirky and interesting character...wiser than his family gives him credit for.
Sarah Jessica Parker rounds out the group of actors as the doctor who treats the professor and ends up in a trying relationship with him.

Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?
By Peter Walsh
Just finished reading this book by the guy from TLC's Clean Sweep show. It was a good book...if I could only implement some of his food suggestions! He compared his clutter principles to losing weight. Most of what he said was common sense, but we can always use a reminder of what we should be doing (@ least I know I can!). He suggests writing a food journal to document where you went wrong and how you felt when you did. He says if you can see what your food triggers are then you can avoid them or rather deal with them. The book deals with the emotional side of eating and decluttering your life, home, and body to lose weight and be healthier. After reading this book I have to admit I still have a long way to go with dealing with food and decluttering my body. However, the book or rather the author has inspired me to Clean Sweep my house yet again in the hopes of lightening my clutter.
