I Plan On Re-reading The Book Club Choice

Yesterday was a beautiful Summer day. I spent most of it either sitting in my van or outside on the patio at the Club. Reading. And waiting.

Son # 2 has a job now and is in training to actually start working. His training is all day long and I didn't want to drive back and forth from home to come back to pick him up. Gas prices keep going up and since gas is also rationed it just didn't make sense to burn it up for no good reason.

One of the girlfriends I met here told me about the Club and how she spends many days hanging out there doing just the same thing because of logistical planning. So with a little planning and a good book I stayed up on base.

Actually, I rather enjoyed the time away from the chat boards and the online games. I recently joined a book club and was savoring the monthly book choice while waiting for the Son Creature. I savored the book so much I finished it yesterday afternoon and it left me drooling for more.

I went to the library this morning and picked up three more books and plan on reading them in the next few days.

Then I plan on re-reading the book club choice to savor the book again.

I Scored Again

Its just a lazy Sunday afternoon and I am avoiding the dusting and vacuuming still. I was supposed to go to one of those hostess parties this afternoon, but backed out. I really don't need to buy anything and I so... don't want to buy anything either. I only agreed to go because one of the hostesses is my gal pal, Heather.

Well, Heather was up all night with her youngest, who just cut two teeth. A very unhappy baby at the moment. Her next youngest has the creeping crud and managed to ruin everyone's lunch. I won't go any further with those descriptions. Let us just say that Heather isn't hostessing the party this afternoon. She is staying home with several fussy girls instead.

So I decided to stay home too.

Spousal Unit thinks he is surprising me by making Baklava. He makes the best I have ever eaten. That includes the bakalava I had in Greece, several years back. He usually makes it over the holidays, but didn't this year because of the boys visits.

I scored another Free cycle deal this morning. A book, really a travel guide, written by ladies living here. It has a little about life in various areas of Europe based on personal recommendations. Shopping, hotels, restaurants, and sightseeing. I found out about it several days ago and so went looking for one. It is sold out every where. I finally looked online and saw an out-of-date one for 35.00. It didn't cost that much when new!!

Now a little thing like that isn't going to get me down. It makes my OCD nature come out. I just posted a message on the Free cycle network requesting a copy if anyone was moving back to the States and wouldn't need it anymore. I got several responses and met up with one of the ladies this morning. She also seems to be very sweet and we might get together for coffee in the near future.

I scored again. I love free cycling!

I Bought the Hardbacks and Didn't Wait for the Softback Edition

Please forgive my silence for the past few days. I am at the beach, gaining a slight golden glow. My last, for a couple of years.

Actually the real reason for my silence is books. I love to read and don't read, except at the beach these past few years.

I am under the spell of Bella and Edward. Jacob is also placing me under his spell. I am reading the Twilight series.

The first book started and finished on Tuesday.

The second book on Wednesday. I am almost finished with the third book today.

Tomorrow I will finish the last book published.

Stephenie Meyer has delayed the final book indefinitely because her 5th book chapters were leaked on the Internet.

I am sooooooo........ hooked on this series that I bought the hardbacks and didn't wait for the softback edition.

Visions Of Sugar Plums By Janet Evanovich

"Don't go calling me stupid," Lula said to Briggs.

Stupid, stupid, stupid," Briggs said.

"Listen up, you moron," Lula said, "I could squash you like a bug if I wanted. You gotta be more careful who you disrespect."

This is one of Janet Evanovich's Between the numbers novels. I LOVE Stephanie Plum. We Jersey girls gotta stick together ya know.
