MIRANDA #17

Halloween's over but the excitement continues...yes, I finally made it to the copy shop and #17 is done at last. Here's a preview:

Waldorf School Dropout - Gnomes, knitting and watercolors? Don’t mean a thing when you’ve got the teacher from Hell.

Love Object - Mama’s got a crush. Big time.

Library Ethics - using your kid’s card to reserve extra books for yourself – clever strategem or unethical scam? Readers weigh in.

Stocking Up for Winter – Sure, Ma Ingalls never froze pesto– but she’s my inspiration.

Book Luck - You can read the review, but until you get it back from the library, who knows what the bookish wheel of fortune holds in store?

Plus, the Motel of Lost Companions goes back to an old babysitting job; more book reviews; Mama’s Stray Thoughts (encompassing knights, breasts, and the girth of the Empire State Building); and a recipe for the most delectable parmesan chicken you’ll ever taste.

trades will be mailed out in the next few days

loved #17

as i was reading library ethics i knew what my mom (retired librarian) would have said...go for it. if there is one thing librarians know how to do it is get what they want, whether it is book, dvd, cd, article or some other form of information/media. my mom actually used the name of her library as a "person" to get extra cds from a music club. unethical or crafty? i guess i can say that now since she is retired.
have a great end of fall.

Another great one, Kate.

Another great one, Kate. Although I am now feeling disullusioned about Waldorf school--it was always my fallback fantasy..."If only Milo could go to Waldorf School, then he wouldn't (make machine gun noises; eat e-coli-laced chicken patties for lunch; want to be a SWAT guy when he grows up; etc. etc.)" I guess, as with any institution, the people make all the difference. Also love your rationalization for reserving books on your kids' cards (here we get one card per family!!) And Simon's take on the knights' outfits is hilarious. GEMINI Mama
