Barbara B

I was born and raised in Italy, and my first language is (of course) Italian. I moved to the USA about 5 years ago after I fell in love with a wonderful baseball player I met in Italy, who later became my husband.... We have two girls, a wonderful 2-years-old named Sofia, and 3-months-old named Giulia.

I love books because they realx...more »

    ciao cone stai?? spero bene...unabbraccio


    SO
    by donatella camatta
    So mi ami...
    ti sento nel cuor mio
    ti abbraccerò ma non con catene,
    libero come aquila
    volteggia
    verso la tua meta!
    So che mi desideri..
    ti sento sul corpo mio
    vibrazioni amorevoli
    scivoli e sprofondi nell'oblio
    libero di essere mio
    senza condizioni
    ..
    il senso è
    AMORE!

    Ciao Barbara,
    tutto bene con i bambini? Spero che trovi un po di tempo per dormire ... :-)
    E vero, Benigni e' molto bravo. Anche a me e' piaciuto molto La vita e' bella. So che Pinnocchio con Benigni e' completamente diverso dal film originale. Ma a me non mi piace per niente Pinnocchio, allora vollevo vedere come lo fa lui. il mio ragazzo pensavo che mi piacerebbe, ma resta pinnocchio.
    Due giorni fa abbiamo guardato Il bello, il brutto e il cretino. Qualcosa completamente diverso ma mi e' piacuto abbastanza.
    Adesso sto ancora alla casa del mio ragazzo nel'Emilia Romagna ma probabilmente non per molto. Proviamo a trovare un lavoro qui o vicino Italia. Se no puo essere che ritoniamo per un po al pease dove non ho per niente voglia di ritornare: Inghilterra e cerchiamo il lavoro vicino qui di la'. ma spero di no.
    per adesso sto leggendo La stanza del vescovo di Piero Chiara ma non ho ancora idea come puoi spiegare di cosa racconta. non e' difficile ma sembra che per adesso succede niente particolare. Lo stesso sentimento che avevo ieri sera dopo guardare il film Taxi driver.
    magari vado a leggero un po fuori oggi perche fa 'meno' caldo. Fa caldissimo qui. Gli ultimi giorni erano tra 32-36 gradi qui, ma oggi magari 30-32 ....

    Spero che stai bene, che hai molto divertimento con le bimbe ..

    Hey Barbara,

    I hope you and your family are all well. You must be super busy, babies are a lot of work.

    I have never read "Let it Rain Coffee", I am going to look it up, my "To Read" list grows more and more everyday!

    I just finished reading "The River Wife" by Jonis Agee, it was great - I loved it!

    What are you reading now?

    Ciao barbara, come va? Qui ancora caldo e non è perche sto bevendo un te. :-)
    Hai mai visto il film Pinnocchio con Benigni? A me non piace Pinnocchio ma pensavo che sarebbe bello con lui. L'hanno fatto bene, fa un po ridere anche ...ma ancora adesso non mi piace per niente Pinnocchio. Non lo voglio neanche guardare. Te, lo piace?
    Come va nei Stati Uniti? E la tua seconda bambina/o, per quando è?

    Ciao Barbara
    Non sono sicura perche preferisco A thousand suns. Qui in Italia va molto bene, ma che caldo!!!!! Oggi 33 gradi.
    Leggo molto, adesso sto guardando che libro di prendere da qui. Ho appena finito Il firo del mondo in 80 giorni di Jules Verne. Mi è piascuto molto. Qualche giorni fa ho letto anche Il giorno degli assassini, ma quello non mi è piascuto molto.

    Hello Barbara,
    first of all, congratulations for the new born!! I hope you are fine and it's not too hard to adapt to the new situation.
    I won't be able to participate much in the June discussion either, I'm afraid. I'm not doing to good and don't think I will be able to focus so much, although it would be nice and would be a good distraction... but it just doesn't work right now. I'm really sorry.
    Love,
    Martina

    Cleaning and reading, of course! Today I cleaned my house top to bottom .....literally! I started by cleaning the eve troughs.....I have a ranch house, don't worry.......and ended by cleaning all my floors......I have hard wood throughout my house. I feel like I am ready to end another school year now that I have a clean house! I have hired a lawn service to put in a side yard for me.......it was over grown and needed work. I think that it might have been the inclement weather that we had this weekend that hampered the process. But I am also thinking that it might be because the guy that owns the lawn service is a friend of my brother's and is also single.....like myself. I am wondering if he is dragging his feet on this project so that he has to talk to me more......

    Did you go early with your first baby?

    First congratulations. For me anything Jimmy Carters writes or says is great. Peace not Apartied is political but a great book. I took a copy with me last February and left it with my sister Mary. Who got me hooked on reading all about Queen Victoria. A book I cam recomend and thhought it weas on my shelf is "A Brief History of the USA"by Howard Zinn. You can pick it up any time and just read any part you do not have to start at ther beginning. Like you I try and learn about the USA. When we first came my husband and I would sit at night trying to name ll the Presidents then we moved on to learning what was ther capital of each state and then testing each other by naming all the states and their capital city. We became very good at it but think we may need a refresher course. Another Great American I love to read about is Benjamin Franklin.Life for me is always learning something. I love a story that is woven around true historical fact.For sure I will be learning until the day I die.My husband well be home on Sunday I am looking forward to telling him about you and how uncanny it is that your little girl has my favorite names.You will soon have to think of another name be it b oy or girl.My three sons in this order are Richard, James and Omar.All like their names and thank us for them.We first came to this continent during the Watergate scandal and have followed polotics very closely. The next few months will be very exciting.Kiss Sofia for me will talk again tomorrow and try and think of other good reads about the USA. Take care.Sheila.
