Mailbox Monday: April 6, 2009

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia over at The Printed Page. It’s your chance to share what you’ve received by mail this past week. I’ve been trying to catch-up on my reading pile so I haven’t been requesting any books but I did get two books this past week:

The Survivor’s Club by Ben Sherwood. I won this one from Bethany over at B&b ex libris.

Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani. This one was sent to me by Jennifer over at Book Club Girl.

What did you get in the mail this past week?

The Sunday Salon: April 5, 2009

It’s late in the day but a late Sunday Salon post is better than none, right? We spent the weekend in Palm Desert. It’s Spring Break for the kids and since my husband couldn’t take all of it off from work, me made it a short weekend thing and it was very nice. We visited relatives, visited the zoo and ate enough food to last us a few weeks. Seriously. The weather was a warm 75 the entire time we were there. Nice.

We got to feed the giraffes!

The golf course where we hung out a bit.

Here’s another pic from the golf course.

Overall it was a fun weekend but I didn’t get too much reading done. I DID buy Half of a Yellow Sun from one of the big superstores but I couldn’t find any used bookstores out there. If anyone knows of any please let me know!
