Sunday Salon – November 16, 2008

I really enjoy Sundays. They are not as lazy as I would like, but they tend to run at a much slower pace than any other day of the week. At least for me anyway!

Yesterday, Southern California was hit with wildfires (again). All of the freeways were closed so we had to cancel our husband and wife dental appointments. However, Grandma still wanted to take the kids to the movies so they saw Madagascar 2 and hubby and I had a grown-up lunch at Buca Di Beppo. YUM! We then attempted to go shopping at the mall as I was wanting a new purse. Every purse I picked up was met with, “that looks like a hooker purse.” Apparently, my husband thinks that all of the new styles resemble that of what a lady of the night would select. Lesson learned? Never take the hubby shopping again.

In the evening, I curled up on the couch and read The Misadventures Of Oliver Booth. I still have a little bit of it to read today and then I will move on to Who By Fire. At some point I have to run to Toys R Us for a birthday present. I FEAR that store. I get wrapped up in the toy vortex. It sucks you in!

Later this afternoon the kids have rehearsal and I am not sure what else is on the plate but I hope it involves me, on the couch with a bowl of soup because I have been craving soup lately. What’s your day like today?

Swimming In Books

Posting has been a little slow lately. I am being a good, little book blogger and catching up on my reading.

Just yesterday, I had these titles come in:

Testimony by Anita Shreve
We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
Misadventures of Oliver Booth by David Desmond
Forever Lily by Beth Nonte Russell

On top of the ones listed, I have about seven that I need to review within the next couple of weeks. I really should not have taken the time to see High School Musical 3 on Tuesday but having never seen a High School Musical movie I figured, why not? Hello! Zac Efron is cute! Yeah, I know he is like 21 but he is so adorable! My son was mortified that I was ogling him. Like daughter like mother though. My little five year-old has a crush on him now. So sweet.

Okay, back to reading, ahem…work I mean.
