I am commenting because as the Head Monkey, I love you more than any of the other 7 readers, yes even you Organicsyes and you star woman... I have never heard of Tutcibachi and have spent the last 10 minutes sitting here in Deleware just trying to figure out how you even pronounce "Tutcibachi".

I am sure the bit about lists is good, but since I just checked off the first thing on my list for the day... "read The Wrangler's Blog", I am going to skip to the last thing on the list..."go to bed" and skip over the "read Tutcibachi's words" step on the list.

LOL, Head Monkey. It is a terrible screen name but I was feeling nostalgic for my uncle who used to call me that. The "Tutci" is easy - it is pronounced like "tootsie". Not sure where he came up with that, but he called me that from the day I was born. And then the "bachi" (bah-chee) comes from him being irreverent - in Hungarian, you add "bachi" to the first name of all older men as a sign of respect, kind of like sir, but more formal. Which of course was particularly silly given I was a baby girl. :)

And I second organicsyes, you have a beautiful blog.

The Wrangler's Reading List

Your One Year Old (two year old, three year old, etc.) series. (There is a book for each age. Has helped me understand my children better as they grow).
When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa by Peter Godwin (The best memoir I have read in a VERY long time. And I read a lot of memoir).
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. (I've read this at five distinct points in my life and have learned something new EVERY SINGLE TIME.)
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin (This little gem was a timely recommendation from a very good friend. I have put a lot of its tenets into practice, and will confess that it has improved my overall happiness).
The Discipline Book by Dr. William Sears
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin
Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. Thanks, Julia, for teaching me how to bake french bread. My family thanks you as well.
Make It Fast, Cook It Slow by Stephanie O'Dea
Anne Lamott. ANYTHING she writes. I love how she is reverently irreverant.
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
1,2,3 Magic by the man, whose name I have forgotten, who wrote about how to put this very intuitive and yet magical parenting technique into practice. Wish I had thought of that. I also wish I had invented those Silly Bandz that turn children into rabid Silly Bandz-collecting dogs. Ah, well.
