Harper Lee has a new book "Go Set a Watchman". I am not sure that I want to read it, though, as I have heard that it portrays Atticus Finch as somewhat of a racist. I don't want my image of him to be tarnished.

I have Go Set A Watchman here, haven't read it yet. I am keen to read it as well, and I tend to ignore negative reviews...I trust that Harper Lee knew what she was doing with her characters. We shall see.

You guys are well-read folks....impressive. I got so tired of reading in school. Now I like books with more pictures than words.

In school, I always resented and resisted forced reading. We were supposed to read To Kill a Mockingbird, but I'm pretty sure I just read the cliff notes version and watched the movie to pass the quizzes. :/
I enjoyed the movie back then and will put the book on my growing reading list. (My old English teacher would be so proud. Lol)
Busy night here, but all work was done in pajamas on the couch. I just finished writing my apartment manager to let them know that I will NOT be renewing my lease for the 11th year because I'm FINALLY moving. Woohoo!!! It's a little scary, but super exciting.
Drooling for some ribs now... It was cereal for dinner night here. Venus, don't laugh....I used paper bowls. You know I had to!
Luv yall!

Hi guys, sorry, I didn't even realize I hadn't posted in a while. I'm a little distractible and my sense of time is a little whack at the moment thanks to my awesomely defunct brain, but it's all good.
I majored in English and then taught high school English for a while, so I've read just about every damn thing and actually rarely read anymore. I did read the trilogy that starts with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which was very good.
Tomorrow is school picture day. Which means that today is officially pick a fight with the cat day. Oh well. I'm just glad I miraculously found her silver dress shoes. Right where they ought to be...under the couch.
Dinner tonight was chicken noodle soup from scratch with French bread. A favorite around here but requires advance planning to pull it off mid week. Worked out well this time. Would have liked to have made the bread myself too, but didn't quite plan that well. I'm calling it a big win anyway.
Anyway, all is good here as I hope it is with everyone else.

All recyclable, no worries. Recycling is one of the perks of living in this little spot. They pick it up at your door twice a week and other trash daily. It's a luxury that I'm happy to let go of. We'll have curb pick up at the house every week.
Enough rambling.
Soup sounds fantastic, Briar! And it wouldn't be a proper picture day without silver shoes, so I'm glad they turned up.
How was the new workout, Mark?
Anyone else still amazed by the quality of sober sleep? It's like I don't move a muscle once I'm out until the alarm clock makes me. Such good stuff.
Stay well, sweet friends!

Good morning and happy Thursday gang.
House guests arrive today.....should be fun.
The new workout feels new for sure. The change in morning schedule makes me feel off but the extra sleep is nice. It's good to shake it up a bit in the gym I guess. There were more squats etc in the new routine and frankly my rear is burning today. Gonna be an effort to walk normally today! If I can get some results from this I don't care. When I hit 50 I want to be looking and feeling good....I'll submit my pics and then start eating donuts.
Wishing all the gang a nice day.

You made me laugh with your statement of finding the silver shoes right under the couch right where they ought to be.

Oh, a book I have read! I read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! I loved it. I knew the author had died, but did not realize it was a trilogy. So, now I have two more books to get excited about! I thought the first book was where it ended. How ignorant of me. I liked the movie for that as well. For such a detailed and long book, they did it well.

Well, I ended up starting Eat, Pray, Love for a light read and Zealot cuz I'm curious. They were free downloads from the public library. So far, both are pretty engaging.
Just got back from my first run/woggle in nearly two weeks. It feels good to get that back into my early evening. Couch time now, watching Modern Family, and wondering if I may just have another cereal night, nice and easy.

Gray's Anatomy and Scandal night! However, it may have to wait, as we have homework/test drama. I think daughter is better off if I leave her to do her thing, though. I shared my opinions on her time management and it did not go over well. There were tears.

Greys, Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder and Bones later for me...waiting for them.
Hope your daughter will be OK phoebe love; she probably had tears because she is upset with herself and knows you are right. Maybe a nice bowl of ice cream to go with her studying?
I'm SO glad to hear you getting back your bounce Conquest. Now, can you please pass some over here? I actually just bought Barocca in the supermarket. It's a Vitamin B and C fizzy energy drink.
I took my mum to see Eat Pray Love when I was caring for her. She no longer understood a lot by then, but she SO loved the scenery in that movie. So did I. It's a beautiful memory.
