Action Heros

E! recently announced the 25 Awesome Action Heroes.

All hail Ripley.


E!, I have to disagree with you naming her #2. She's a bigger, better bad-ass than John McClane. She wiped out ALIENS for Christ's sake. Honestly.

I mean, McClane's good--I give him credit for walking over glass with bare feet. But ALIENS, you guys. Come on!

Book Club

The group of mom's I hang out with started a Book Club. We just finished "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood.

Second time I've read the book--thought it was brilliant.

One of the women in Book Club told me at a previous gathering that she was trying to potty train her 3-year-old daughter. She wasn't having much success. She was making the daughter wear her wet pull-ups on her head as punishment for not going potty in the toilet. I'm not kidding. I can't make this up.

This same woman said she didn't like Handmaid because it didn't have a final conclusion and that when she got to the Historical Notes at the end, she didn't get it.
