Reading

It's Saturday night, 7:08pm and Golden Girls is on the TV in the bedroom. I can't bring myself to watch 'Real Housewives of Beverley Hills' or 'Jersey Shore'.. my brain cells disappear faster than I can revive them .. :P

Today was gorgeous. The weather was stunning. My boys were happy. In the morning, while the boys were running around like nutters, and Lewy and I were sitting on the couch with our coffee... I picked up 'Bloom' and couldn't put it down. Finally I made myself put it away and promised myself that once I cleaned the house, Jacob would go down for a nap, Sam would be out on a special trip with Nanna and I could sit down and read.

I finished the book and loved every single word. The book is no longer at my house, I've already let someone borrow it... and I know they will love it as much as I did. Val.. Lisa.. you are next on my "lend to list". And finally, I'll pack it in my suitcase and it will travel to America, where I will leave it in the hands of Izzie :)

Lewy made a special meal tonight, fish and chips. We're not talking regular fish and chips.. oh no. He went to a seafood store, picked out the best fish he could find. Researched the best beer batter recipe, and served up a mouth watering meal.

I must admit, after the happenings of the week, I made sure today that I let my mind breathe. I let it relax and unwind and not analyse things too much. I just focussed on enjoying being with my family (and reading of course :P). Although I wouldn't be me, if I didn't have a few moments towards the evening where I let my mind run... I stood in the bathroom, contemplating my life's journey. Looked in the mirror and said "Is this what you expected of me God? and I'm doing you proud?" amongst other things :P (I tend to have long drawn out conversations with God... I often think He needs to grab a cuppa when I start going :P)

Today was good. I hope yours was too :)
