Weekends never do last long enough! Especially when the really sunny, 70's weather is going to fall on Monday. Figures!
And I can't believe I just let myself eat coffee ice cream and 2 Milanos. Woman, do you have no shame?
Yeah, that was a rhetorical question.
Have been feasting otherwise on Memory and Dream by Charles de Lint, which was recommended by the lovely and fabulous
delphipsmith. I'd only read one of his previously, The Onion Girl. I liked that one, but it really started to drag toward the middle, and I ended up speed scanning through sections of it just to get to the end.
Not so with Memory and Dream. It took me a little while to pick up this one since, like The Onion Girl, it is a huge book with very small print! That's a substantial commitment for me. But he is simultaneously inspiring my unadulterated worship and insane jealousy at his talent. I am so utterly enthralled with this story that I'm forcing myself to keep a steady pace to savor it. I'm terrible at breakneck reading in order to find out what happens. I still have a couple hundred pages to go, so I've put it down for the evening so I can finish it tomorrow.
Of course, knowing me, I'll end up awake half the night reading it once I go upstairs to bed! I should probably just leave it where it is on the sofa because I know I'll have no ability to stop reading once I ensconce myself in bed with it!
Am hoping this week proves less maddening than the last. But, at this point, I'm prepared to deal with whatever presents itself! Good thing my in-laws bought me that big Dove Dark bunny for Easter.
