I'M A LITTLE BUMMED. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I'VE BEEN THINKING THE LAST FEW DAYS ABOUT HOW BAD I NEED TO BLOG, TO CATCH UP. AND, 1 DAY HAS TURNED INTO 2 DAYS HAS TURNED INTO A LOT OF DAYS. NOT SURE WHY. THERE ARE ENDLESS THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT. ALTHOUGH, NOT QUITE AS ENDLESS AS THE LAUNDRY. OR THE DISHES. OR THE VACCUMING. OR THE DUSTING. YOU GET MY DRIFT.
I FINISHED MY SCARF THIS WEEK. AND, I HEART IT. IT'S WILD COLORS. THE COLOR IS ACTUALLY "FIESTA" ON THE WRAPPER. I LIKE TO THINK MY NECK IS HAVING A PARTY WHEN I WEAR IT. IT'S THE FIRST THING THAT I'VE KNITTED THAT'S BEEN...WHOLESOME. HOMOGENOUS. THE SAME THROUGHOUT. JAY BOUGHT ME A SEWING MACHINE FOR VALENTINE'S DAY. I SEWED A FEW SCRAPS TOGETHER HERE AND THERE. I WANT TO MAKE THINGS. CUTE THINGS. AND SELL THEM. AND SHOW THEM OFF. TAKE PICTURES AND BLOG THEM YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW. ADORN THEM WITH POLKA DOT RIBBONS...OH HOW I LOVE A PRETTY PIECE OF ANYTHING WITH POLKAS. I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE PERFECT HOME FOR MY NEW PRIZED POSSESSION. THE KITCHEN TABLE IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO SEW BUT NOT A VERY PRACTICAL PLACE TO KEEP IT. LITTLE TODDLER FINGERS WONDER FOR SHARP OBJECTS, YOU KNOW. I'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO NAME IT. I MEAN, EVERY PRIZED POSSESSION MUST HAVE A NAME AND BROTHER..WELL THAT JUST DOESN'T CUT IT. OR SEW IT :) I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I THINK OF ONE THAT WILL SUFFICE. MAYBE MINDY? YOU KNOW...MEND-Y? LOL. WHO KNOWS.
THE LAST FEW WEEKS I'VE BEEN WORKING SOME WEEKNIGHTS ALONG WITH 2 WEEKEND NIGHTS INSTEAD OF ONLY 3 WEEKEND NIGHTS. CONFUSING, I KNOW..EVEN FOR ME.
SLEEP WELL, SLEEP OFTEN.
LOVE WELL, KISS OFTEN.

About Me
- Oak City Books
- Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
