going along

there are five or six blog drafts stuffed in a folder on my desktop from the past 2 weeks; interrupted writing left for the trash bin. it has been a mad rush around here, but now...the decrescendo. it's friday! a take-it-slow day for us. today:

1. drink all of the coffee i made, slowly.
2. fold some laundry.
3. walks (only 80 degrees? how could we resist?)
4. fish for dinner.
5. resting. recovering. reading "east of eden", still.

what are YOU doing today?

a word on "east of eden": this longest book i've ever persisted through-no skipping chapters or paragraphs or looking up a summary on the web because i'm bored. the characters are so vivid & alive on the page & in my mind. there have been countless times this past week that i've wanted to reference cathy or samuel, but no one i know (jason, annabelle, violet) has read it, yet. but you...YOU SHOULD PICK IT UP!

today: solely dedicated to all things harry potter. i even waited in line at borders this morning, for a wristband, securing that i am the 8th person at that borders to receive my copy of the final book.
dorky, you say? BAH to you, i say.

Brooke Stafford just ready East of Eden and loved it.

We grocery shopped to day and met some friends at the park for lunch. Now I'm tired and want to nap but my son won't! Oh, well. That is what coffee is good for.

Hope you have a good weekend, caron.
