A Girl Named Zippy

Someday I'm going to get my life together again so that I can keep my blog updated! It just seems like I am constantly moving, and I feel so tired all the time! I'm sure most of it is due to a very sweet and handsome little boy who loves to play and run and the other part is probably my obsessive need for clean.
I got ambitious on Tuesday and rearranged the kitchen decorations. I decided I'm done with apples. I've had them for 9 1/2 years - wow! Anyway, I also decided I was sick of the grimy dust on my blinds. So I took the living room and kitchen blinds down, and washed them in the bathtub. And of course, I couldn't just do that... I had to clean the windows too. I AM A NUT!
And all I know is that sleep is going to come easy tonight! I am exhausted, but I keep putting off my blog and it's already been a month since my last entry.

For our September book club we read A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana by Haven Kimmel. It is a memoir about her childhood in a little town of 300 people.

"Nicknamed 'Zippy' for the way she would bolt around the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. In this witty and lovingly told memoir, Kimmel takes readers back to a time when small-town America was caught in the amber of the innocent postwar period–people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards."

I thought this book was hilarious! I just kept laughing while I was reading. It was a quick read, and was well-written. I would recommend it for a good light-hearted read.
