Let's Get Familiar

Okay, so I know all of you, but do you know each other? I think we have 3 from Colorado, 1 from Alaska, 1 from Oklahoma and many from Nebraska. Leave your name, where you are, and something interesting about yourself on a post. I have chapters 1-7 filled in with people but if any of you are interested in writing a snippet about the chapters, email me and I'll get you into the schedule!

I have to tell you this funny story. I asked my mom if she was going to join this blog and read So Long Insecurity, You've Been A Bad Friend and I left out To Us to be shorter because I was chatting on line with her. She wrote back, "why have I been a bad friend?". I couldn't help but laugh and tell her it was part of the title but if she thought that way then maybe she could read along with us...we both had a good laugh!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. I'm experimenting with the layout and background of the blog!

I think we have at least 10!

So I think 10 will be participating so far. I'm looking forward to this experience. I bought the book and discovered there are 18 chapters. We will be starting this study on May 24 and finish the week of July 26. This gives us 10 weeks to complete the book. We will begin with chapters 1 and 2. I think there are two, maybe 3 weeks that we will read just one chapter, otherwise, we will be reading 2 chapters per week. Let your friends know that this is not a closed study. Anyone, any where can join!

Welcome to the So Long Book Club of 2010

I am so excited. I ran into Ashley M. on Sunday at church and she said that she was moving. I'm not excited that she is moving but I am excited to tell you all about this new thing. As we were visiting, I told her about the idea I just had in church that morning of setting up a book club blog for the summer. I know it seems weird because it's not something that is normally done...but with kids and summer vacations, I thought this would give an opportunity to keep accountable to others and learn during the summer without having to meet weekly. I do think a celebration will be in order after we read the book though, don't you? I have been wanting to read "So Long Insecurity, You've Been a Bad Friend to Us" since it came out but haven't had the chance yet. So, here's the first post of our new book club. Leave a comment to practice up if you want to join in reading along with Ashley and I this summer! I'm going to buy the book tomorrow and find out how many chapters there are, what the schedule will be like, and keep you all posted. Yippee!
