Hello everyone,
My teen daughter has encouraged me for months to read the Twilight series. I scoffed at the idea on numerous occasions. "Who me?? read about vampires?? read about werewolves?? You must be joking!! Harry Potter Yes, Vampires No!"
She got me at a weak moment on a plane with nothing to do, and handed me the Twilight book #1. She of course had already finished the series but had this book hiding in her carry on. She waited for just the right moment to pounce. I kinda pursed the lips and said again, "yeah right, sure." But she persisted so I decided to start reading. You know what, I almost didn't want to get off the plane because I would have to stop reading!!! Imagine my surprise when I got totally engulfed in the book so quickly.
I read the other 3 books quickly there after. And then the most amazing thing happened, I had to read them a second time! I let my newest mystery novel by my FAVORITE author languish on the counter in favor of a second read. Then I went back and read the love scenes again, how utterly silly and delightful is that? Apparently, I am a hopeless romantic. I highly recommend this series. And, NO, you can't borrow my copy, I might want to read them again!

The Queen of Haartz Goes Blog
Welcome,
On the advice and request of Pouty baby, here I sit posting my very first blog. Deborah, the talented blog designer did all of the work setting this up. What I lack in computer savvy, she has in abundance.
For the most part I spend my time helping other people over at the local hospital. I am President of the Auxiliary coordinating the efforts of 350 or so members. This is a group of men and women who volunteer their time raising money and giving of their personal time and talents to improve the patient experience. My daughter also designed our auxiliary blog.
In an effort to stave off boredom and loneliness, my volunteer work also entails being on the hospital foundation board, and being president of a private family foundation. I am also on the annual fund committee for my daughters school and serve at a Board director at another charitable organization.
My summer past time is golfing. My nick name is Boom Boom Haartz as I can drive the ball pretty far for a girl my age :-) ! It is so rewarding to play a round of golf, even if it's not a particularly good score. I remind myself that a lousy round of golf is better than sitting in an office somewhere wishing I was outside enjoying myself. This usually improves my mood and puts a smile on my face.
