Listening to The Hunger Games trilogy on my drives to and from San Antonio reminds me of my dad’s review of the books, “It’s a children’s book, so it’s childish in its simplicity and yet it had some things to say.”
Former flight attendant/ESL teacher. Travel the country as an education consultant, happily combining two favorite jobs into one. I try to Be Where I Am, Get Over It, and Have a Laugh whenever possible.
Love: science fiction, Hawaii, cats, all things British or blue-and-white, houses, books, Disney, traveling (especially on a jet plane), work, friends, family, and Asian cuisine. So you might see a lot of photos of those things, mostly taken on my iPhone, which I also love.
Hubby and I live in Texas, with grown kids in California, Utah, Texas, New York, South Korea, and soon Montana. So you can expect to hear about those kids and those places, too.

ewcertain asked: I just finished watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time ever and I am absolutely speechless. I am convinced it might be one of the best television series in history. I even had the board game, which is awesome, before I watched the series. Will you forgive me for being so late to the party?
Are you kidding? We need as many frakking survivors as we can get!
Hunger Games cookies, made with Williams-Sonoma’s Message in a Cookie Kit. I think I might need to get this kit—it’s only 20 bucks. Think of all the geeky things you could write on cookies! “Live Long & Prosper.” “Force B w/u.” “I Love You.” “I Know.” “Bowties R Cool.”
“I don’t think about getting swarmed at Comic-Con, I think about getting killed at Comic-Con. I’m terrified of Comic-Con.”

Somebody had a Hunger Games party and even served hot chocolate, and orange chicken, and homemade bread with goat cheese and basil AND a selection of 12 different rolls to represent the 12 districts.
Look! At the invitation!
The world will be watching.
And in my corner of the world, we will be watching it on the largest screen in Texas.
Definitely going to make the three-hour trek to Dallas to see this one on the Largest Movie Screen in America.
