So last weekend we rented the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and I LOVED IT! As it says on the DVD box, its a story about "Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us." It was somewhat depressing (stories about the Holocaust usually are), but there is something I love about these stories of hope and love. I can't wait to go to Europe someday and experience this rich history in person. It truly is a "A Timeless Story of Innocence Lost and Humanity Found." It was one of those movies you feel enriches your life and gets you really thinking about the gift of humanity. The movie is based on the book by John Boyne. I can't wait to read it now! Too bad my stack of "Must Reads" is growing and I'm having a hard time finding time to read.

ok, def want to see it! no excuses about my book club, you get 2 whole months;-) it's not like you're busy or anything, you're JUST a stay at home mom!!! i really did have someone say that to me once. i just laughed and said, "yeah, i know. sometimes i just sit around and think, oh me, what shall i do????" they gave me a strange look and walked away. it was a stranger in the store. don't worry, i spared no expense with the sarcasm in my voice. it was awesome.
