An awesome weekend

[miladycarol]

I spent Friday at DaVinci Days with G and lurkitty. We saw Pink Martini and there was much dancing in the mist. *smiles*

Saturday, Lurkitty and I went to a vocal exercise thingy then retired home to play two games of Carcassonne... our deathmatch shall come!

Sunday, we drove back to DaVinci Days to watch the kinetic vehicles slog through mud. Then there was a kirtan.

Today, Lily came over and bonded with Lurkitty while I made the kitchen, livingroom and lavette's surfaces sparkle.

Tonight, I had a wonderful time in D&D and Zach gave me his Harry Potter book to read. He's so sweet. Well, he was sweet right up until the moment he told me if I didn't quit bugging him he'd tell me who was the first to die. *sneer*

So, tonight, I'm faced with the dilemma of which book to read. I'm half way through my library historical fiction set in 16th century Venice. I have the Deathly Hallows in my hand. And the library called and told my the book I had put on reserve was in early and waiting for me.
ACK!

And I have to work... if only I could just stay up all night reading. *sigh* Responsibility sucks sometimes.

Hee. I finished!

I had a wonderful weekend, too.
*yawn. Sleep. Somewhere in there I was supposed to sleep...

I knew you'd be done quickly if you didn't have the distractions of socialization and puppies. *grins*

The company at Avalonne is far too good to waste reading books. Even if it is HP:DH.

Wow! That's quite the compliment! Thank you!

I need to make a basket of bridal goodies for a friend's shower Friday evening. Do you want to be a part of the shopping today?

Ears perk up...stretches claws...shopping??? Did you say shopping??? Where?
When?

[miladycarol.livejournal.com]

At various Eugene locations. I need to gather supplies for the wedding card, the shower card and a baby birth card (for another friend) which means a stop at the paper store in Oakway mall. She is registered at Target, so I might go there, as well. I'm going to wing it and accumulate things I am drawn to for her.

I am finishing some work. Then I shall shower and head out. Probably, I shall begin my shopping around 1pmish.

Well, cripes. Candi just called and needs to come pick up some meds from me. It's at least a 45 minute drive from her place, and she'll talk my ear off when she gets here. Before that, I would have jumped at the chance. *pouts*

I'll call you when she leaves. I have visions of a Yumm bowl and looking for a Hanuman murti.

I'm going to be disrupted, as well. A sudden tax accounting appointment has manifested at 3pm with G. This means he either accompanies me on my shopping journey or I have to stop in the middle, fetch him, then return him and continue. *sigh* Best laid plans, and all.

Still, give me a ring. I'll be out and about somewhere. Besides, we can always meet at Borders. I usually stop at Bed Bath and Beyond and use those coupons for something or another. We could have Yumm together later.

Ack! :)
What a dilemma. Me personally, I'd go for HP7 (and did!)

I've chosen restraint and decided to finish my current novel first. I am cultivating my patience and the patience of those around me, I guess.

I got the book this weekend too. I am finishing one book and wanted to start it, but I had housework to do on Sunday.

I was very irritated with all the folks on LJ who said they just devoured the book and posted spoilers. I felt like no one in the world had any responsibilities...let their homes go to ruin while they read.

Ben of course pointed out that I didn't need to clean the house on Sunday. I countered by saying that the toilet won't scrub itself. Sometimes I think others are not as committed or serious to living in an organized and tidy fashion.

Heh. I had work to do. I still do. I know that it never ends and the work will always be there. Sometimes we just need a holiday from reality and spend some quality time devouring a book or movie. Me, I've decided to finish the book I'm in the middle of reading before I begin a new one. It just seems like a matter of faithfulness. I dunno.

My big plan... I'd like to spend a bit of time on the deck with my feet up and a pot of tea reading my book. I have a busy schedule, so I have to fit in my reading. Plus, I'll be away for a week on business and I hate to take anyone else's book with me on the road. There are too many chances of damaging it. So, Potter may have to wait for me until mid August. Honestly, I waited almost two years to read book 6. And, so far, everyone has been really great about keeping their discussions under cuts and away from my ears.

Right now, I'm going to make lunch. While pots are waiting to boil and veggies are simmering, I'll have my book open on the counter to swallow a few more paragraphs as I go. It's a really enjoyable book, "In the Company of the Courtesan" by Sarah Dunant.
