Holiday Escape

There aren't many books lately that I've been enthusiastic to read. I've felt like there's been a dearth of new, interesting, good, wholesome, non-violent, non-graphic reads about smart, strong, compassionate women. And the men who love them and are deserving of their love.

Can you tell I just came off of a Pride and Prejudice marathon?

Tevita was out of town, what else was I suppose to do?

And actually, I didn't have the marathon I wanted to have.

I just watched one movie version of the book. The best version, if I do say so myself. (I heart Colin Firth).

The day after my marathon was fast Sunday, and I bore my testimony about how I married Mr. Darcy.

Yes, my few readers, yes I did. And now if you could help me find a medication that would switch off the part of my brain that makes INCREDIBLY IDIOTIC AND GRANDIOSE STATEMENTS, it would very much be appreciated. THANKS.

Anyway my friend, Jennifer, loaned me this sweet, smart, engaging, funny book :
Like all the good books (and some really really bad ones) in the past that I got my hands on, I read this in a day. It's full of quirky characters that made me laugh and cry. And it's a sweet love story too! I highly recommend.

I'm on to another set of books now and I haven't had time to read them yet. I've been too busy doing this:

And this:
And while I'll politely skip over the fact that rather than shower after pilates, I chose to sit here and take photos of my sweatiness for all the world to see (all 3 of you), I will go ahead and say that things have been a bit topsy turvy lately. (As if those photos didn't just speak those words for me).

I'm way too tired to go into detail right now. Tired and . . . (oh look, my underwear has finally dried, I can go to bed now!). But I will say that some interesting things have happened and that I am learning important lessons. And trying to enjoy the learning. And a good book!
