cranking through the books lately.
i picked this one up at the library
because i had enjoyed julie & julia so much.
this was julie powells follow up book.
her life as it changed following the
success of her first book.
julie was originally from austin & i enjoyed
all her local references.
this was her version of eat, pray, love.
this makes anyone want to journal all the
events of everyday living & hope it turns into a bestseller.
this makes anyone cringe at the thought that
people would actually enjoy reading
the private innermost thoughts of ones mind.
cleaving follows julies journey from marriage to affair,
from nonauthor to nytimes bestseller author,
from pseudo cook to serious butcher.
maybe i'll read a book a week,
blog about my progress through the library shelves
& it will become a bestseller....
maybe i'll log all the trips i drop & pickup children
from one place to another,
blog about the miles, the gasoline & the
words they share during those moments
& parents will laugh everywhere
knowing that they too are caught up in
the same wonderful cycle.....
maybe i'll just get back to life & enjoy
some simple everyday memories!
