I have tried and tried to buy a copy of Conversations with God for Lent and Easter for the past few weeks with NO positive results. No one has a copy available and I refuse to queue up for a copy on-line, because by the time I get a copy as late as four to six weeks, I may as well shelve it for next Lent, but you know what? I'm so crazy that I'd start from the beginning of the book and rush through it to catch up to where I'm supposed to be. I'm nutters that way. So. No book.
When I finally get to Hawaii, I'll order a copy and shelve it for next year. Otherwise, the only way to get a copy of it is to shell out the dosh for the complete set - and I don't have an extra $100 plus to shell out on books I don't really "need" right now.
Geesh!
I'm going to ask my wee girl to make me another pot of coffee so that I can warm my innards after I shower. Listen. My room is so cold I can see my breath - so when I finally emerge from the shower, I'll BEAT Superman's ass at fastest time dressed! Just the thought of stripping down to get IN the shower is another mind game altogether.
I know. It's Lent. Offer that up, too. Good thing I never give up hot water. Never.
**Addendum: ordered at Amazon, who later in the day had an announcement that they were available March 6. **
This book was written by Francis Fernandez and sold by reputable Catholic stores.

I don't think you'll get any of us Minnesotans to feel even a wee bit sorry for you.
Sorry. We've been cold like that for over 4 months now!
:)
I must agree with Jamie, for us in MN this is everyday:)
Ditto with Jamie's comment.
I grew up in a house that only was heated with wood. I was always cold. I cannot sleep unless I have a pile of blankets on me.
My MIL tells me stories all the time growing up where the water in the room would freeze solid at night. that would be a big BRRRRRRRR
my word verif. for today: snessech
I bet that's what you said when you got out of the shower...or something like it?
well, those crazy MN peeps can chose to not feel sorry for you because they are crazy enough to live in MN, but I, my dear, send my sympathies!! and just how fast do you have to be to beat superman's ass??

Okay, all y'all in MN: I get it. It's not cold in MD for y'all's average winter weather - don't feel sorry for me at all. I don't care. I have regan. Regan: I love you; you're my new bestest friend. And, regan, faster than a speeding speeding bullet.
Awww, sucks. I love y'all, y'all!!
Okay I have one better for y'all! LOL I live in the COLDER Canadian North, and though the sun is shining out there today, we are spreading bags of salt around on our super icy driveway so we don't do more faceplants while out there. Even our dogs have not been spared slip sliding about, nose to ground while faceplanting like us. Spring...soon, soon, soon....LOL Bless you and your Superman showers...LOL...LOL....LOL And heh, super duper thanks for the laughs. Bless you!
Sarah, while I do feel sorry for you I must agree with the Minnesotans. This morning it was ten degrees when we left for school. I have recently had a very bad attitude about this saying things like, "I'M ALWAYS COLD!!!" The only time I am not cold is about an hour after I've gotten under TWO down comforters at night. It takes an hour to warm up under them. OK. Honestly, now I have a fleece on over a light sweater. Its 25 degrees outside and I'm pretty comfortable. But I am so sick of feeling really cold MOST of the time. Course, you're moving to Hawaii and for that reason perhaps you should get no sympathy. Maybe God wants you to really appreciate that paradise island when you get there. (And don't forget us shivering back here in the North:-)
Three, maybe four?, stores near me have had those books in the past, individually and as a set. Let me know, here or at my site, if you'd like me to see about them shipping to you from the store if they have them in now.
I love Regan, too, but I meant Regina! I am do daft!
aspiring - thank you so much for the offer, but I ordered it already. . . . it should be here before Easter. I'll decide when it gets here just how I'll use it (catch up or next year). At least I'll have it though. Thank you for your very kind offer, though.
Sending you an email about something I was told today to BEWARE the book "Conversations with God." Check it out and let me know if it's the same book you're looking into getting!
WRONG BOOK. I've added a photo with authors name.
I meant to say, also, Melissa: thanks for the warning about a different book w/ similar title, because if what is said about the book you thought I was talking about is true, well, parents need to be aware. Scholastic does sell some questionable books sometimes, but usually not.
It warms my heart that you would care enough to warn me of error - I love you for that!
