It's Monday and things are moving right along....

Hi guys! It's me! I'm up bright and early, quietly typing so as not to wake up my tiny (and very cute) shadow. I need to get this post up and finish up a grocery list while making sure the big kid gets to the bus on time.

How was your week? Things are ok around here. I'm trying to stick to this exercising thing, even though everything known to woman (including short toddler naps) seem to be conspiring against me. I'm also strangely feeling the pull of this spring cleaning thing and starting to consider deep cleaning my house and organizing closets. This weekend, I took the kids to see a high school production of Beauty and the Beast, since their grammy (my mom) was doing an incredible job playing the keyboard for the production. The 9 year-old gives it rave reviews, and the 3 year-old loved it minus the parts with the wolves and the angry beast where she hid her face on my shoulder.

Ok, time to talk reading! I feel like I read The Casual Vacancy for a million years, even though it only took me a week. I finished listening to Shadowshaper and I am officially a fan waiting anxiously for book 2.


Now I'm reading Girl in Disguise. What are you reading this week?

  1. Sounds like you've had a good week - I hope that carries into this new one. I know all about little shadows! The Casual Vacancy will do that to you - I remember it feeling particularly long.

    Happy reading!

  4. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite. I kind of agree about the scary Beast, too. You reminded me I need to get my grocery list out and go shopping - my least favorite thing to do. Shadowshaper is new to me; I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

  8. I too have been feeling the pull of the spring cleaning instinct and spent a considerable time yesterday tidying up my office. Was then woken up at 5 a.m. by a blackbird singing outside my window. Spring is definitely on its way.
    Happy reading!
