the litwits

Lately I've been thinking about making a bucket list of all the things I want to do before I'm 30. Just for the fun of it. I do have a few years to go before reaching that age, but judging by how fast the past year raced by (my baby's almost one ohdeargod), it can never hurt to start early.

One of the things I've always wanted to do was join a book club. I love reading; I love talking about books; I love drinking and eating and laughing with friends. So, last month, I emailed a bunch of great gals and started a club. The litwits. I can't take credit for coming up with the name, but isn't it great?

Our August book was The Help. We had a kick-off event at my house, where we all brought three books, then drew names until all of the books had been picked up by someone new. It was a great way to get the literary discussion rolling. (Take the word literary with a grain of salt. There were definitely a few chick lit books being exchanged.) We all read the book, discussed on a private Facebook forum, and gathered again for a group movie date to see our book on the big screen. It's turning into great fun.

Here's our upcoming book list, if you're interested in playing along:

September - Whistling in the Dark
October - Left Neglected
November - When God was a Rabbit
December - Sarah's Key

  4. Und dieser erste Schritt ist im Internet das Ansprechen mit der ersten
    Mail. However, diabetics should never drink anything with this substance in it as it has a very bad glycemic reaction on the body.
    Die Acai Beeren kommen ursprünglich aus dem Regenwald des Amazonas
    und dort stellen diese Früchte seit Jahrzehnten eine signifikante Zutat des Essens der Indianer dar.

  6. I comment whenever I especially enjoy a post on a site or I have something
    to add to the discussion. Usually it's caused by the passion communicated in the article I browsed. And on this post "the litwits". I was excited enough to drop a leave a responsea response :-) I do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it only me or do a few of these responses look like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with you.

    Would you list every one of all your community pages like your twitter feed, Facebook
    page or linkedin profile?

  7. Rather,all the applications keep running in the background although
    in a low power state,utilizing both processing power and memory that leads
    to a lower battery life. However, it is still possible to insect the terminals and make sure
    there is no corrosion. Aside from these types of power packs,
    you can even choose the 8-cell and also 12-cell electric battery.

    such as a cordless or cellular telephone and make sure the
    mouse is at least eight inches away from a wireless
    keyboard. For the first generation, you'll need to release the back cover from the unit by running a shim along the edge of the unit to release all of the clips holding the backing on.
