Stretching My Fingers

A quick note about my day, to stretch my fingers and satisfy my inclination to get back into my blog:

Today I finished reading Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick. It is a funny and heartwrenching book about an eighth grade boy whose little brother gets leukemia. I loved it.

Despite how hard I stared at it, the carpet cleaner simply would not run without an operator. So I plugged it in and cleaned my downstairs carpet. Now all the stains are lifted and my room smells and feels fresh and new.

My next door neighbors are having a baby! It is wonderful news.

I was introduced to the poems of Pablo Neruda tonight. He is deliciously angsty and, of course, I love it.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with my kids this weekend.

My life is about to turn upside down as I start masters courses in six days.

I have decided that I need to start watching Mad Men.

I have come to the conclusion that the most difficult person to forgive is myself.

My current favorite snack is veggies and hummus.

This has probably been the best summer of my life.

I am really excited to write again. Self publishing was invented for people like me. :)
