Reading

Oh how I love to read. From the back of cereal boxes to the operating manual of a cell phone. I love to read. This summer finds me reading one of the best series I've ever read. And no it is not Stephanie Myer's vampire series (though I love them too and will read the fourth book in August when it comes out). Summer quarter is over and now I can indulge in reading me some novellas! A friend once told me that I reminded her of Anne (that is spelled with an "e") Shirley. I had no idea who she was talking about and my friend about fell off her chair as she new I was an avid reader. She said you are passionate and get excited in a hurry just like Anne. I thought she was talking about character from a movie but I was wrong. It is the beloved character of L.M. Montgomery. Anne of Green Gables. Let's face it folks I'm obsessed. As I was pondering what to read the moment I finished summer school I remembered Anne of Green Gables! So I promptly went and bought the first three in the series. I also remembered a friend telling me she was reading it because we are going to Prince Edward Island for vacation as it happens in a little over a month! I'm going to where it all takes place! OMGosh. L.M Montgomery who published the first one in 1908 (!) has this eclectic way of writing. Eclectic may not be the right word but if you haven't read it, it is across between Pippi Longstocking, Annie, and Pollyanna. She writes and I feel it in my bones. I'm laughing out loud and am mesmerized by her descriptions and character. I love Anne with an "e" Now only three more pages left. I've certainly cried a few times and I rarely cry in books. I'm grateful I was sick this weekend and into the week as that is all I did! PLEASE READ ANNE-GIRL!

Sleep.

Everyone wants it. But lately the moon and I have had a relationship that warrants an amount of sleepless nights. How can that five letter word bring on such joy or terror for some? Sleep. I want it now. 

SLURPEE! YUMMY!

Jim's Marathon

So today I woke up at 5:15 am (remember this is me, that is beyond EARLY for me) to see Jim start  his half marathon for the Seattle Seafair kick-off event. It was exciting seeing him prepare over the last couple months and see his dedication. He is so disciplined. I hope to learn something from him with regards to that issue! As we pulled up there were thousands (5) of runners and walkers warming up. It just got me awake and excited to see that these people love running as I do not like running and find this amazing that that many people could wake up that early and run. Seeing Jim run across the start line and then wave at me was the highlight of my morning. To see him in action, just had my heart leap and I was so proud of him at that moment. Congratulations honey, now go sleep, but eat your steak first!
