More Books To Read

Since I finished reading The Help yesterday, I started reading Saving CeeCee Honeycutt at work today.  I got 70% through the book and am thoroughly enjoying it.  I guess I just love books about strong Southern women.  It’s an excellent read and I recommend it to anyone.  Here’s a little synopsis about it that I got from THIS website:

Twelve-year-old CeeCee is a survivor. Alone too much, and with too much responsibility because of her psychotic mother, CeeCee is old beyond her years. When her mother dies, her mostly absent father sends her south from Ohio to Savannah under the care of her never-before-seen Great Aunt Tootie. The reader is introduced to a wide assortment of Southern women, each of whom plays a role in CeeCee's healing and coming to terms with her life. Each character also helps paint a detailed picture of the dichotomy between the “old South,” with its decaying gentry, and the changing South, where black and white are more than servant/mistress and white gloves are being exchanged for jeans and flip-flops.

After work, I got Autumn & we went to Papa & Mimi’s house.  I helped Mom make Wanton Salad & Thai chicken pasta for dinner.  They were SO GOOD!  After dinner, Dad was showing Autumn his China pictures that he had printed off and that he put into a photo book.  My favorite pictures are the ones of the Balinese kids.

Autumn was being whiny, so we left early and came home and had a popsicle.  Then Autumn and I cleaned her room together by putting away all her clean clothes that I washed last night.  We watched a little TV and snuggled and then I put her to bed.  I worked on updating my Project Life journaling card and had Eat, Pray, Love on in the background.  I like watching that show so much b/c I love reliving all of the fun travels she had, especially in Italy b/c it reminds me so much of Slovenija.
