My big project for today: put together broken dresser drawer and clear out the socks without mates.

I read Divergent for my May book club meeting and saw the movie yesterday. There were some changes between the two which were fine. I'm not sure people going into the movie with no knowledge beforehand would pick up on a few things though.

The funny thing about the audience at 10:15am was the composition. Except for one guy it was teen girls and ( Read more... )

I was pretty sick that first week and it lingered. Finally felt better around the 9th. And then my husband had a cold (stuffy head, congestion and sneezing) for a few days. Then I started feeling funny again over the weekend. But I think it is just sinuses draining from this crazy back and forth weather. Yesterday it was in the 50s. Today it was in ( Read more... )

The other day I had a salad from the catering place downstairs. It was the first one I'd had in months. Disgusting. Lettuce was limp and there was too much dressing. I choked most of it down and then picked through what was left to get to the bacon.

Still reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I'm nearly done. I've been dragging it out as long as I ( Read more... )
