Everyday Stuff | Book Chatter

Welcome! Welcome! Ahem…sort of groggy this morning. We went bowling last night. Not something I do regularly but I think I did pretty well. Okay, the kids may have done better than me but really, who is counting?

I’ve been keeping up with all the Read-a-Thon posts and I’m very impressed. A lot of pages have been read. I thought about participating this time around, but it would require quite a bit of planning on my part since there are kids in the house. Planning like, oh, sending them away for the day. Maybe next time. A day of reading does sound tempting.

Today I plan to finish reading Infidel and then I may crack open The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I have to do this in between running more errands and taking the kids to a Kids Expo they heard about. It’s always a bit of a challenge to get it all in.

Have a good Sunday!

This is a horrible picture but the smoke was bad and it was dark to boot. This was my view on my way to work today. The Southern California fires are still burning and probably will be for another day or so since the wind continues to pick up.

This same time last year we had to evacuate when we were hit by fire so I know how these poor people feel. The “not knowing” is what makes it so difficult. I do hope these winds die down so the fire crews can get a handle on it.

Yesterday I left work early anticipating a huge traffic mess. I got home fine and then they closed the University. Today we are open though, so here I am. I have a few friends and co-workers affected by these fires so I will be thinking of them and wishing them the best.

Chatting with friends about books and life…
