The Week Ahead | Book Chatter

Where did the weekend go? I feel as if I just posted my week ahead and here I am posting another one. Looks like another busy week for me.

Monday, October 6, 2008 – Today is the day I announce the winner of an inscribed copy of Matrimony. Have to stop by the doctor’s office on my way to work. Yoga at noon and then rehearsal tonight. BTW, my son DID get a second callback on Sunday for Winthrop (The Music Man). He’s the kid that lisps! The final cast is posted on Tuesday. Cross your fingers! I am currently reading In The Woods, by Tana French.

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 – It’s my daughter’s 5th birthday today! Happy Bday to you sweetie! I have to teach a class today and then my women’s group meets for lunch. Tonight, taking the kidlets out in honor of Kidlet #2’s bday. Also trying to read Tethered which was sent to me as part of the Read It Forward program. Tonight we find out of my son got the part.

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 – Not much going on at work today. Trying to update some documents and I have a meeting later. Nothing major. Yoga at noon. Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying yoga? If you have never tried it yourself, give it a try. It’s so relaxing! Hopefully my son will have rehearsal tonight. He will if he got the part (see above).

Thursday, October 9, 2008 – Hoping to have my review of Tethered posted sometime today. I’m also reading The Photoshop Elements 6 Book For Digital Photographers. I have been trying to learn Elements. I enjoy taking pics but I am really interested in enhancing some of my photos and so I bought this book to help.

Friday, October 10, 2008 – Nothing going on today and no plans tonight. A free night! Looking forward to hunkering down with In The Woods. I also have to write out some thank you cards.

The Weekend – Saturday night we are going to a viewing of one of the shows my son was in (Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). They rented an outdoor amphitheater and we’ll bring lawn chairs and blankets and eat some nibbly bits while enjoying the show. It’s great because my son has never seen himself since we are not allowed to videotape the shows. Sunday I am going to try and go to a card making workshop, but it will depend on my husband. He may take my son to a theme park which will conflict with the workshop. If I do end up home, maybe I will begin making my Halloween cards.

Do you have your Halloween stuff up yet? As I am writing this, my husband was suppose to pull down my Fall decor but he is currently eating popcorn on the couch and watching football. For some reason, I don’t think it is going to happen.

Looks like another busy week for me. Here’s what it looks end from my side of the planet:

Monday, September 29, 2008 – It’s Fall Break for my kids. No school for a week but they are going to daycare and there are some fun things scheduled. It’s also Banned Books Week. Planning to post a giveaway later this morning. In the afternoon I have yoga and then my son has rehearsal for The Music Man in the evening. Still trying to read The Meaning of Night. I am liking it a lot, but 700 pages?? I have to finish it by Thursday.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008 – Not much going on during the work day except lunch with an old director. Not that HE is old, but that he is my previous director. Oh! There is also a library book sale today. I will check it out. Later this afternoon I find out if my son has a callback for The Music Man. I have a hair appointment this evening (thank goodness) and then going out to dinner with a friend for her birthday. Plan to do some research on The Meaning of Night as well so I can take the info to my book group meeting later this week.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 – I’ve been asked to do a guest lecture for a Communications class here on campus. It’s been difficult getting any info out of this professor so hopefully it will go well. This afternoon, more yoga. Will hopefully finish The Meaning of Night tonight while my son is at callbacks (assuming he gets one).

Thursday, October 2, 2008 – Teaching a class this morning. Book group tonight. Can’t wait. I also hope to begin my next read, In The Woods, by Tana French. I got this book from Jill and have been dying to read it.

Friday, October, 3 2008 – Nothing big planned at work. This evening my husband is taking my son to a high school football game. I will stay home with kidlet #2 and hopefully do some reading.

The Weekend – Saturday we are having a family BBQ to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, which is on Oct. 7th. Sunday we are having a huge party and she has invited all of her classmates. It’s at one of those inflatable party houses. No set-up or clean-up. Well worth it if you ask me.

That’s it for now. Anything special planned for your week?

Chatting with friends about books and life…
