I feel better. I have had ginormous bowl of pasta and and am working my way through a (second) glass of wine.
Spike ,'Get It Done'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Today was just annoying. we have complained about the remanufactured ink cartiages. Two printed pink. two printed red and blue ( no yellow) .
Now my lap top is noisy. DH says we must blow out the fan, but the compressed air, she is vanished.
Someone is going crazy with the hand dryer in the men's room. I wonder if he's trying to be the first guy in history who doesn't have to wipe his hands on his pants.
Are you celebrating Nordic Tuesday in place of casual Friday?
But yeah, hee, hand dryers don't really dry your hands altogether. I like to think of it as a protective coat of water between me and the door handle.
I am starting to get wild cabin fever. I can't LIFT anything get, but I am contemplating lovingly polishing all my wood with lemon oil tomorrow, then all my silver, then polishing all my jewelry and then organazing my closet by types then color.
Then my stocking drawer.
I've already gotten my hair cut (the bob gets shorter each time, Hec -- now it's lobe-length!) colored a nice merlot, and my brows waxed. And my nails are growing out, and I've polished them silver.
I also dropped two pants sizes, and and wondering if walks and yoga would be too strenuous.
In a week, I'll have to resort to lesson planning. Gasp.
Keep polishing the stocking drawer, dear. Anything to keep you from the horror of lessons.
Oh, yes. Do stay away from the lessons!
So, I've been up for over an hour. I have a note for my body.
Dear Body,
I appreciate that you're feeling better, but did we really need to be up at 4:15 a.m.?
No love,
vw
I was always that kid that woke up an hour early just to read in bed before school. My entire life, "reading" was my number one hobby. And then law school, and then kids, and the internet actually, sort of sucked up all my reading time.
Joe ordered a Kindle for me for Christmas and I just got it yesterday. So far I really like it but I'm sort of at as loss as to what I should read. (I asked on Twitter and LJ and - shocking since so many of my friends online are readers/writers - I got no suggestions.)
So - what should I read on my Kindle? I'm open to just about anything.
What are some of your old favorites? If it were me, I'd jump in with Austen or Faulkner or Atwood or Alcott or the Anne of Green Gables series...someone I've missed.
As far as recent stuff...I've enjoyed Eat, Pray, and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger...um, wow. I think those are the only non-school related books I've read in the last year. That's sad!
Oh, wait, I also read Religiously Transmitted Diseases by Gungor, which you might enjoy and nod your head mightily at.
Stephanie, there are so many options I wouldn't know where to start. What kind of books do you like to read? If I had a Kindle I would probably use it to read The New York Times as well as books.
vw, I'm sorry you didn't sleep. I was sleep challenged again too. Good luck staying awake today.
