A little bit about..

O'k...So you know how so many people think that you can really tell a lot about a person by what's in their refridgerator?....What about what's in their cars? CD player (or ipod)? what books they're reading? or movies they're seeing?

So, in my car is a stroller, an outside blanket for parks, two umbrellas, Ava and my sunglasses, hand sanitizer, wipes, napkins, an extra change of clothes (for ava) a couple plastic bags (if I need to use those extra change of clothes), a windjacket for Ava...just incase, and countless Dora the Explorer videos. Wow!! How life has changed. Before I had a baby, I had so many extra clothes in my car for myself (in case I didn't make it home before going out that night).

CD Player: Well, I have a six disc CD player in the car which holds, 3 Tiny Tots CDs and Gnarles Barkley, Pussy Cat Dolls, and Rhiana.

Summer books: Well unfortunately, I only have time right now to read school books, but fortunately, I took an English class and we got to read some really great books.
First, we read The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. It was so great. It was written in vignette style, which are kind of like little stories of one's life. I really liked this way of writing, so I wrote my own style of vignettes over the years my mother was living in Venezuela as a child. I wrote it as if she was telling the story. We also read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. This book is amazing as a young woman struggles to find her place and blooms in sadness. If you don't have time to read it, watch it. Oprah created a movie about it since it was her "favorite book of all times". It stars Ms. Halley Berry and is breathtaking. I really enjoyed it, and that's not just the English major side of me talking, it was well worth it.
Now, I'm reading about the American Government and International Politics. Interesting? Yes, but not as creative as the others.

Movies: Well since I've been taking summer courses and have been so busy I really haven't had time to go to the movies. I did see "Pirates of the Carribean 2" That was really good, but what Johnny Depp movie isn't? I also watched "Lord of War" with Nicholas Cage and "Munich". They are both kind of political movies, but really good..especially "Munich". I would love to go see "John Tucker Must Die", but William's not as thrilled to see that one, so anyone wanna go???

O'k, so do you feel you can tell a little bit about me now? What about you, what have you been filling your summer with...and car?
