Unusual

So, still getting shit thrown out. No big news there.... But, I did something this afternoon that I never do. Ever. After walking Lizzie and doing a few little odds & ends around the house, I crawled into bed and read. Yep, a book. And not a biography, as I am wont to delve into, or something historical and non-fiction, but a novel. A fun little read called The Reluctant Tuscan by Phil Doran. And I read for about 3 hours. I'm kinda shocked, I gotta tell ya. I never read expect in bed before I go to sleep. Oy... But it's a fun little book, and I'm amazed at the Italian dialogue that is recognizable (there are a lot of Italian references, and one of them is lyrics to an Italian art song I teach the kids). So, I guess it kinda grabbed my attention....

And I did get a little more done on my recycled bathmat. I'll post a pic when it's finished. And I have a plan in the making for my Bitchin' Mittens, so that's next on the needles, I think. Have a great night!

A book? One of those paper things? Involving printing and, like, bookstores and stuff? I rememebr that. I'll have to give it a try, for old-times's sake.
Actually, I generally read how-to type books and mysteries these days. And blogs. oyness, too many blogs.

Purging is not one of my favourite things! In fact, anything is better than that! But it's something I've been doing all week, and this has aged me considerably -- there is more to come. I know I keep things (sentimental old fool) and do I really have to throw half of my life away because I have too many things?? Why?? But the purging goes on ---

Ohhh, I need to do that one of these days... crawl in bed with a good book. I'm totally overdue for ordering new books to read. (the non biography kind.. lol) I can't wait to see this bath mat. I bet it's sensational!
