Long time, no blog?

Posted in Apologies at 9:40 pm by Adriene

Once again, I’ve managed to neglect this here little blog for a little longer than I intended to. What can I say? Stuff happens. Especially when you’re running after two nearly-walking twin girls all day.

Not too much has been going on in Holland Land lately, although we did recently celebrate Erin and Grace’s first birthday! It’s hard for me to believe I’m the mother of toddlers now, especially when I have moments where I forget I’m a mom in the first place. They’re doing new things every day, and I couldn’t be prouder of them. But I won’t gush about them here. That’s what this page is for.

As far as reading material, I’m once again delving into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And, as usual, I’m finding things I missed the first four times I read it. I’m also beginning to read The Children of Men, something I picked up about a year ago but never started. I’ve also got The Painted Veil to read. (Perhaps I should start reading books that aren’t already made into movies?) I also was one of the unfortunate folks to get thoroughly sucked into the Twilight saga. I know, I know. Melodramatic vampire romance novels do not exactly seem geared toward nearly 30-year-old women. But so help me, they were entertaining. And I’m kinda looking forward to the movie (Cedric Diggory as Edward Cullen? Yes, please.).

As if my transformation into a 15 year old wasn’t aided enough by my literary choices of late, I’m starting to look for new music, since, well, I haven’t really bought anything over the past year, and I miss listening to music. A few of my friends have suggested Paramore, and I’m liking what I hear from them. I’ll probably pick one of their CD’s up when I have play money again at the beginning of October. Jeff’s also made a big push for Mae as well, and I’m liking Singularity in particular. On a whim, I picked up Missy Higgins’ second CD, On a Clear Night, and I LOVE it. Love love it. I’m also open for suggestions, so if you have any, fire away.

That’s about it for me lately. What have you guys been up to?
