Flurry of new reads...

A serious flurry!

I kind of go through these phases with reading.  I always love to read, but sometimes I just can't get enough... there aren't enough hours in the day for all of it!

Anyway, I've got a nice new little stack of books to keep me occupied the next few weeks, my house is all clean (not mentioning the garage though, the bane of my existence..... ugh), and I'll keep it that way.... it's usually the hazard of my flurry reading phases.... and takes the brunt of it.

So....

Starting with this today....




And so far I'm only 5 pages in and twice I've heartily laughed out loud and exclaimed "this is awesome!"

I love books in the form of journals/diaries!  Even if they are fictitious.... though this is based on a true story/ diary.  Happy day!

Some noted and laughable moments thus far:

Mattie, on the experience of her 'matrimonial bed'.... "I'd judge it took a minute, no more than two, at most.  So it is not a serious loss of time."

And on trying to be a good wife..... "I pray he does not regret our marriage, as I will not.  I should be quite out of sorts if he tried to return me like the pig, so I shall be careful not to swoll up."

Awesome blossom!!


*** Next morning (today, 3/27) Uhh..... So this book sorta sucked.  It kinda ripped my heart out.  Like jolted me.  I kept reading between the lines, but believed it couldn't be what I thought.  It was, of course.  Man, I'm naive and believe in the best in people EVEN in a book.  Ugh.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang!  In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
