it's that time of the week again...let's talk more about what ceecee/eve is up to. to read my discussion about the first ten chapters, click here. to read about my discussion of chapters 11-20, click here. to get the details about the bookclub, book beginnings and bookends, please click here.1. Do you think Tim is the one sending the money? yes. it has to be him. i mean, who else could it be? tim could easily find out where ceecee/eve is by asking naomi or forest. besides, he was so generous with ceecee in the beginning by giving her that money for school, so why wouldn't he give her money now. i'm sure the guilt is eating him alive and perhaps this is his way of trying to make things better...somehow.2. So far, there's been a lot of discussion on CeeCee/Eve and her … [Read more...]
the secret life of ceecee wilkes, chapters 11-20.
it's monday & it's time to discuss the next ten chapters of the secret life of ceecee wilkes. we talked about the first ten chapters last week. if you're interested in participating, it's not too late! just click here for the details.1. Where do you think Tim and Marty are at this point in the story? are we talking mentally or physically? mentally - i think the both of them are far gone. they are wrapped up in saving their sister. and, i think that as much as ceecee believes that tim really cares for her, i almost believe it's evident in his actions that he's using her. i mean, you can almost sense it or feel it as you're reading. sadly, ceecee doesn't {although i did find it funny that she faked the big o on their last night together - come on, who's fooling who?}. … [Read more...]

BRACE FACE – Avoiding Injury
So, we've been talking about braces, what it's like to wear braces, how it feels to be in braces, what you can eat when you're in braces, but what about protecting your mouth - whether or not you are in braces? Did you play sports as a child growing up? Do your children play sports? Did you ever wear a mouth guard? Do you make your own children wear a mouth guard? I'll be honest, I didn't wear one whenever I was playing sports. Of course, my sport of choice was swimming and that's all I did for as long as I could remember. It seems silly to even think about facial injuries while in a pool, but if you've ever taken a foot to the face while swimming laps then you'll know where I'm coming from.With that said, this is the last post for the "Brace Face" discussion series. Again, I'm … [Read more...]
