Finished: Illumination Night.

illuminationnightOK, so this is an Alice Hoffman book, so I basically should love it.

I finished it last night, pushing my early bedtime back an hour because I was just SO close. And it was good, but the end made me sad.

In fact, the whole book made me sad. I love Martha’s Vineyard, and I loved the characters, and I wanted none of them to be sad, just happy. That’s what I always want for the characters I love. But, it did teach me a little about love, happiness, knowing yourself, loving the beach, and knowing where you belong. I’m glad I read it, and it gives me a good feeling to know I’ve completed something.

Meanwhile, it’s the only book I’ve completed this year, and it’s March 4th. Jeff is on a shoot this weekend, and I think my goal might be 2 novels just to catch myself up and focus. My goal is to read 50 books this year, so I really need to get on the ball.

Next up? Montana Sky by Nora Roberts for our Book Club. We wanted to read a romance novel for February. I realize it’s March. But I dare you to find a book club full of a better looking bunch of ladies than mine, even if we don’t read on time.

H?W HARD CAN IT BE?

This weekend I got a button that says, “H?w Hard Can it Be?” And I love it.

This is an airplane that my sister and I saw fly overhead at Dockweiler. Afterwards, she said, “So, um, is this beach perhaps by LAX?” Then she understood why people go to this beach only because you can have bonfires there.

My sister was here this weekend, which was amazingly fun. We did lots of excellent things, including buying buttons about peace, seeing the Chinese Theater, the Hollywood sign, Malibu, Santa Monica, and Dockweiler. We also ate: hot dogs, s’mores, Pinkberry, In-n-Out, Diddy Reese’s, and much more that was terrible for us.

It was an excellent time.

5 things I love about my sister:

1. She is low key. We can rock climb, or walk to the Stars in Hollywood, or watch HGTV. Whatever.
2. She can eat Diddy Reese’s after consuming four different appetizers. And not make me or herself feel bad about it.
3. She has mastered how to make a s’more in the micro.
4. She cooks excellent eggs, but cannot flip them.
5. She is hysterical, and apparently sounds just like me so sometimes I can take the credit.

My friend B’s friend K is here for the weekend. And multiple times, she said, “Man, I wish I had a sister.”

Well, I do. And she’s awesome. Man, I just wish my sister and I were neighbors.

How do you like your siblings, everyone?
