March: Currently
15 Mar 2013
Feeling so grateful for all of you and your sweet and encouraging comments on yesterday’s post. Thank you!
Reading this book
Listening to kind of a lot of Florence and the Machine. I think the laser gun sounds are absolutely the best thing about this song. Also, the Nashville Soundtrack
Packing for our weekend getaway to Ventura!
Loving the cool mornings and evenings, since summer has already sort of descended upon us.
Exulting over the fabric I just bought for quilting.
Knitting preemie hats.
Eating so much cabbage! Bizarre craving, but I’m going with it.
Working on my enormous cross stitch sampler. Finding it oddly relaxing to have a needle in my hand.
Looking forward to fun trips in April and May (Oberlin reunion tickets: secured!)
Writing my book. Loving every second of it.
Loving Lent and all the awesome stuff I’m getting to do. Excited for a retreat with this awesome monk next week.
Feeling really, really, grateful.

Thank you so much, Mary! I am glad to hear it brightened your day! Of course, please do copy away! I got the idea from several other bloggers, so I think it’s very safe to pass on! 🙂

I love the Nashville soundtrack (although I love Connie Britton, for me, Gunnar and Scarlet are the real vocal strengths of the show). And I’ve been curious about Tana French; have you read her before?
Hope you two are having a lovely weekend!

I totally agree about those two: sonic heaven, I am telling you! I can’t even count how many times I’ve listened to “If I Didn’t Know Better” and “Fade Into You.” I read Tana French’s first novel in January, and I *loved* it. Her novels are really the grand slam of the novel: solid characterization, a real mystery underlying the action, and effortlessly beautiful narration. The first novel even has some unreliable narrator candy, so I was a very happy reader indeed. They are ultimately just very interesting, in my experience, and a real pleasure to read. Thank you so much–the weekend was just glorious!

I am reading The Likeness now too! Just started it over the weekend and can’t put it down! 🙂
