CURRENTLY READING: Flora and Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo
THOUGHTS?: What a fun book to start my read-a-thon. I had no expectations and, actually, didn't have a clue what the story was about - I just knew I liked DiCamillo's work. This book is highly entertaining and quiet advanced in the vocabulary for a children's book.
SNACKS AND STUFF: I devoured my kick-off snack and coffee. Speaking of which, my cup seems to require a refill.
COMPANION UPDATE: The Fiance is abed. He kicked me out when my alarm went off, rolled over, and promptly went back to sleep. There shall be no updates from Lady B this time around. Her folks are in town so she is otherwise occupied.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I forgot to pull my CDs out from under the bed. D'oh! Happily, I've discovered that Pandora has a pretty good Film Scores station.
