Summer PJ & Movie Party!

Six darling little girls all tucked downstairs as I write this--watching "Cheaper By the Dozen II."

My party starts upstairs at eight. Margaritas will be waiting for all those tired souls who trot down to my place for a pick me up. 

"Parents Canada" is publishing a comment I made about cool moms vs soccer moms. They edited it a wee bit and I may come off a little 'la-tee-da' but 'ce la vie!' I sent a pic of Peter, Pip and I on the beach in case they wanted to post a pic with the comment. Dear sweet Bettie (the one who wrote to me from PC) sent back "What a great-looking family!"--I thought it was worth a shot.

Class is nearly done. However, it will be a long ten days of writing up my lit review which is due the 28th. So much reading, so much organizing and so much writing! Not to mention I actually have to really think about it all too. I'm nearly cross-eyed from using RefWorks. It is not the most effortless tool. It is easy enough to use but still, it is very time consuming. I thought it would cut down on the time spent organizing my research articles. Perhaps it does, a little. But all that clicking and reading does me in. I worked for about 3 hours this afternoon, just sorting through all the research articles for ones that I can use. I had to skim about 75 articles. I've got it down to about 30 I'll use. Not all of them now--but for my thesis I'll use the 30 and then some! Ya, I imagine this paragraph is dull and  boring to read. 

I am ever so pleased that my prof took my request to heart and axed the final 2 papers.

 The other section's prof came into our room to "talk" to us for a few minutes. Whoa...I am so blessed to have not made it into his class. That was one angry mind inside the man.

And on an entirely different note, my sis and I have decided that when one "vanishes" suddenly off of facebook, it is never a good sign. Something is a muck in their world.
