A nice little surprise greeted me when I came to work this morning and opened my locker. Made me smile. :) One of my co-worker reads voraciously and she donates books she's read to Goodwill. So I happily said that I would take them. 

With this, a couple of serious decisions needed to be made. First, what happens to my pharmacy reading? Hmm...have to come up with a plan to continue reading my pharmacy stuff and of course, make room for all this wonderful reading. Secondly, which one to read first? I've heard a lot of good things about The Help. I was leaning towards starting with that when I came across this.

Doesn't that look interesting? So after work, I picked up a Starbucks gift card (work-related) and decided to treat myself to a Strawberries and Cream Frapp, drove home, turned the dryer on (for laundry done this morning), did my 20-minute cardio, then sat on the front steps of the house and read.

I love days like today.

...I'm addicted to Brandi Carlile. I keep playing this one.

...I'm planning to reread the Harry Potter series.

...I'm enjoying the down time from being off residency.

...I'm getting into the habit of waking up at 6 am everyday. How brave, right?

...I'm going to be spending some time in the studio. :)

...I'm starting to exercise again.

...I'm thankful for a lot of things -- Las Vegas trip recently where we spent a day at the Grand Canyon.

...I'm soaking in the written Word.

Another week

It's Saturday. Getting ready for bed, but wanted to leave a note before I called it a day, a week. I submitted my proposal yesterday. Hurray!!! Got the brakes and oil for my car changed. Headed to White Pine Beach today for a hike and some sun. Lovely day. A perfect day. A new design for my blog. :)
