Chick Chat

I've decided to put together a little Book Group. I have no idea who is coming to my house tonight, but late night + sleeping kids + good friends + semi-spontaneous parties at the Willy House usually equals a decent time.
Have you read this book?
It's a good one. There is talk of a movie. How exciting would that be? I can only hope that the movie won't be the worst thing ever made, like some other (Twilight) books to movie projects have turned out. It should be mentioned that I threw a flip flop at my tv (Jimmy Kimmel) tonight, hoping it would make Kristen Stewart stop talking like she's about to sneeze. That said, I'll probably still pack along to the midnight showing of Eclipse with the gal pals, because 1) I heart movie candy, and 2) you just can't beat the people watching at a Twilight movie release. SO, yeah I'll be there, wearing my "Team Aaron" t-shirt. (jenny, add that to the list of shirts you need to make for me...if the Girl Scout Cookie shirt makes us millions, let's take the profits and buy a house on balboa island.)

Ok, anyway, Book Club. There's already a Marriage and Family themed "Book Group", so I'm trying to think of a witty little name for my book group, so announcements for the two don't get mixed up. Any suggestions?

And since I am hosting, there must be food. (otherwise, what's the point, really?)
I made a batch of "Mockingjay Cookies" tonight.

Recipe found, here.
I free handed the bird using some scissors and a piece of junk mail to make a stencil, then dusted with powdered sugar.
Kasey's bringing "Nightlock berry chocolate cake". Yum.

Make you want to start a rebellion?

Such a great book! I am still bothered by it, in the best possible way. Cute cookies! How about some lamb stew with plumbs for dinner?
