I'm a G.R.I.T.S who loves reading, Starbucks and shopping...in that order! And if I can do them all in one day, even better!!!!
I love to read books on Spirituality mostly, but just-for-fun I like a good adventure book, either Fantasy or Dan Brown-ish. I've also been known to read Nicholas Sparks ; )
I love to read about the Goddess....more »

    Saw the addition of Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country to your shelf, looked very good so I put a hold on it at our local library.
    Good luck with your transition next week!

    So 7+2+6+2+0+0+8 somehow breaks down to 7? Looks like 25.. OH! Well, I'm slow I guess....

    Maybe my goal is to be a gymnast at the Olympics and perform on the balance beam! SWEET! I CAN DO IT!

    tee hee

    Thanks so much for the card, little sis! Brightened my day.

    As I told Alicia, I'm sure if Greg knew Alicia was packin', he'd have been all "yes m'am, kids will be there at 0600 hours, m'am". I must remember to tell him next time I talk to him! Thanks too for you good advice. I've backed way up and am chillin'.

    Hmm, I suppose I'll look for it...since you made me pinky swear...

    We had our "fireworks" like that up at the cabin a couple weeks ago and got it out of the way...Still trying to feel comfortable around my parents again...

    The puzzle (NYT) is hard late in the week, but you're completely right about comon workds, common clues, tricks (puns, etc.) and things like that. Plus, it's supposed to keep the brain from falling apart, so that's a good thing. The Denver Post gives the answers in the same issue, though, so when I get completely bamboozled I succumb to the temptation lying there in wait...

    And we're getting married on the 26th. Sorry if my mental math was wrong... I suppose that's ominous in some way....

    4th was good. We climbed a mountain above Boulder and were able to see about 12 different fireworks displays up and down the front range, and even a few in the mountains. Wedding Saturday. I was DD, so I managed to have a few too many and secure us a hotel room at the reception hotel... caught a little flack for that, as we're supposedly saving money... Errands yesterday, and back to the grind today: crosswords, books and internet, though I have been charged with bathroom cleansing today...

    I started Choke, by Pahleniuk (sp?)--you know, the fight club guy. It's good, but he's SO dementedly graphic.

    All my painting is done except for touch-ups around the house. Gotta get to those some time this week. Wedding is in 18 days... [panics]

    Oooohhhhh, are you goig to read some Clive Barker? I love his writing. Coldheart canyon was phenomenal. BTW- I also finished the first chapter. And yes, that was most enlightening. I am onto the Goddess section next. Should be quite interesting. Be well my Peach.

    yeah, it's heavy. He had a thing for the massive tome back while working on that, and Weaveworld, and The Great and Secret Show, and Everville.... And Gallilee and Cold Heart Canyon, for that matter... All of which I thoroughly enjoyed, by the way... And I was mistaken about the sequels in my post a while back. Imajica is a stand-alone. It's The Great and Secret Show and Everville that are the 1-2 punch. That should by n means detract from Imajica. He has the most unbelievable imagination I've ever read...

    I keep wishing he would come out with something comparable sometime in the next decade....

    Finished TTTW the other day and thought it was great. THANK YOU for the recommendation AND the book. Do you have a specific request for the book's next destination, or should I look for another worthy reader?

    You know, about all the boat party is missing is some homemade ice cream! Just throw the machine in a bag and come on up!

    Thank you! That's great and I'll check it out later. I found a lady who will take them on consignment, so it will be good to have an idea of the value before I take them to her. She's in MA, not too far from us. We had sort of gotten to the point where we were just going to put them in storage, but that's so expensive. Again, thanks! You're the best!

    Hello you! I've been think of you lately..... I am ready. This is going to be a very busy reading summer for me. I have 4 challenges I'm taking part in. LOL I'm a glutton for punishment. But I am up to the challenge. So let's start say...Monday ok? That gives me time to find in my tbr pile and finish off the one or 2 I am reading.

    Love to you sister.

    2/3 of the way through Time Traveler's Wife, and enjoying it. I have actually been allowing myself a good chunk of time a day to read, which isn't always the case in the summer time.

    Now it's off to scrub the deck down so that I can paint it later today. Oh joy of joys. It's my last big "chore" though. Next week I'll be doing piddly stuff, but having lots of time to recreate! Got on my mountain bike off-road yesterday for the first time in a loooong time. I have misplaced some of my pedalling strength and balance somewhere around here. I need to go look for that too... :-)

    Paige, I responded to your comment about The Fountain in the Movie Lovers group. If you liked that one did you like Solaris at all. Not exactly the same but I think it has a similar feel to it. I'm not a George Clooney fan at all, but this one made me change my mind. Any other movie suggestions you might have would be welcomed. More on The Fountain...I wished there was a book that inspired it so I could maybe figure more of it out, not that I minded that the film leaves me kind of hanging, not really explaining everything for me. But I tend to like stories that do that. Makes me feel like the writer thinks I'm smart enough to figure it out for myself. oj

    I just read the episode where he meets his 5 year old self at the museum, and that go tme more intrigued. It's like it's only secondarily sci-fi, with an emphasis more on the character study of it and the relationship, rather than on the time travel itself....

    Do you not have Chipotle down there? How about QDoba? it's similar to Qdoba, if you know what that is. Anyway, I got an enormous burrito. (No entendre intended.)

    Yeah, he was ... "entertaining." It is less exciting without him, but calmness can be a good thing.

    I started Time Traveler's Wife last night.

    So far so good, though I am not a card-holding fan of "romances." I know this doesn't fit that category completely, but I have trouble with getting into a book that feels that way. I shall persevere, however!
