posted by soe 1:16 am

I was on my own for most of the weekend which meant I:

  • Slept in
  • Cuddled with cats
  • Took clothing donations to Goodwill
  • Picked up an eagerly anticipated sequel at the Arlington Library
  • Walked through the park
  • Threw snowballs at ever narrower targets
  • Broke the car door handle when clearing the car of ice (20-year-old plastic does not have a lot of pliability)
  • Drove on a couple slick Virginia roads
  • Remembered I am a New Englander and know how to do that
  • Didn’t turn the tv on
  • Checked out a new bakery nearby
  • Completed two books (book reports next weekend!)
  • Rushed through the farmers market (see top item)
  • Went to the grocery store
  • Bought wood glue to fix my rocking chair
  • Paid bills
  • Wrote
  • Talked to my family
  • Admired my Christmas tree
  • Got caught up on the draft reading I’ve been doing
  • Finished the bag of tea my friend brought back from Africa several years ago

(Check out all those action verbs. If this were my resume, I bet you’d be impressed.)

How about you? How did you spend your weekend?

Ohh, good one!! I didn’t like it quite as much as the first but it was still very good!

@Jenn: It made for excellent reading the last few days. Since I knew how it started and how it ended, it wasn’t too stressful for an already stressed mind.

And I agree that it wasn’t quite as good as the first, but nearly so. Have you read any of her other books/series?
