I did like The Women of the Cousin's War, but found the last 3rd of the book to b a little dull, and very confusing. I remember that I liked it overall though. And good for you about getting into another one of Umrigar's books! She is just wonderful!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-15598404616854364122012-07-30T09:36:48.246-05:002012-07-30T09:36:48.246-05:00I totally understand about watching anything and e...I totally understand about watching anything and everything on the Olympics.

All of the stuff I love is on when I can't see it so then I have to record the entire 4 hour block and then FF to the parts I want to see. Women's gymnastics, diving, and the rowing has been fun to watch but I have a hard time catching those events. <br /><br />I didn't do much reading this weekend. I was in a depressed mood and just feeling out of it. I'm sure it was the prednisone for this hand injury that did it to me. Oh, and the hand injury itself is depressing. I really don't want surgery but living withe one hand has been difficult. Especially at work when I have to be online all day.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-52092184112843199302012-07-30T07:18:44.648-05:002012-07-30T07:18:44.648-05:00Five cats? wow...

I hope it has gotten a bit cooler there by now??? My reading has been off the charts but that's because I'm a bit addicted to Jill Shalvis' Lucky Harbor seres right now! I get that feeling of having a house explodiing within a house!! <br />I'm addicted to all things Olympics.

I thought I was the only one who read in their car at lunchtime. ;-)<br /><br />I work in a school so there is never a quiet place, but in the beg and end of school year, it is way too hot to sit in the car. Sometimes I sit in the grotto, but a nun comes in around the same time as my lunch and she prays out loud, so I leave. I figure it is her place not mine.<br /><br />Too noisy in our teacher's lunch room.

Hub didn't get home until about 11:30 last night after a movie and he must have watched until after 2 in the morning! I fell asleep but we both love watching all of the stories. Often times I'm sitting on the couch sobbing my little eyes out. ;)<br /><br />5 cats. Ick.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.com
