nothing like a good read



yep, that is pretty much what i have been doing the last few nights. sitting in my wonderfully comfortable chair while digging deeper and deeper into my novel (the secret life of bees...highly recommended)! today i have been playing catch-up with the laundry and house work...but, it was all worth it.

i'm not sure why kevin took this picture. probably to document that i do get a break every once in awhile. and actually, every time i look at this picture i can't help but relax all my muscles and smile. i look so peaceful and comfortable. ahh, nothing like a good read.

ps elena, i am good and ready to dive into breaking dawn.

pps mom, did you know they have made a movie based on the secret life of bees? it comes out in october. a must see!

I LOVED that book! I need to read it again...I just remember having read it (too many things to remember with 5 kids!). It is so nice to see you get some down time. What a riot that you didnt notice he took that picture!

That's a cute picture! And I love the chair - is it new? That's great that at least Kevin notices when you need a break - Paul only notices it when I lock myself in the bathroom and even HE can't get in.

I have heard that is a good book...sounds like i must read!! I am about to get my Breaking Dawn book from a friend, so now I can be lazy for a few days while I start reading it, then I will also play "catch up" on laundry and house work.

Enjoy your down time!!!

WAY cute chair!! I need to come and see it in person. I guess I'll have to drive on over and deliver you Breaking Dawn and see the new furniture. I think that is such a cute picture of you too. Nothing like a good read.

Lisa said...

i'm glad you got your leather furniture (and a break to read too). sounds like an interesting book.

I think I will just have to read that book! I just finished Breaking Dawn so I need another book. And you do look so comfy there.

OOOOOoh, you do "Try it Tuesday!" Love it!!! Mmmmm, yours looks good.

And alas, another smart girl who loves to read....are there any more of you out there? I seem to be a magnet that's attracted to that type...smart reader types. Maybe this "reading thing" isn't half bad since everyone is doing it....lol.

I was just thinking about you this morning. "she was such a fun girl" I thought....Thought I would spread the bloggy love.

Enjoy your good book. Since everyone I love reads....maybe I should give it a try. Maybe with my new contacts, it won't be so tiring?

I just loath reading...ugh.

OH, I love that book. It's a great read! And how exciting, a movie, too!
I'm almost halfway through Breaking Dawn now, I had to catch up on some housework, also. Hope you enjoy.

Great book! you DO look comfortable. Wish I had a chair like that to snuggle up in! I'm excited to hear there is a movie coming out!

Elise said...

I am so jealous-- both of the chair and of you sitting there reading! That is a GOOD book, too! Maybe I'd have time to read if I didn't sleep so dang much! :)

I'll have to borrow the book! Sounds like everyone has read it but me!
