Well, this was a good week – though despite claims that this would be my week to start reading again, I have not finished any books. *le sigh*
I found myself more energetic than I have been in a few weeks, and was able to do some important tasks in preparation for the wedding. We got some vital shopping done, went to a seamstress for some last minute adjustments, ordered the food and eating supplies, etc. I took my step-daughter D out shopping for shoes and jewelry. She was jumping with glee and said that when she was older and had money of her own she would spend it ALL on shoes, and then she would go to Claire’s and decorate her room entirely in unicorns. We bought her some wedges, which means she has to practice walking in them. In fact, I should probably practice walking in my shoes too! Less than two weeks left!
Hopefully my energy perks up even more, because I need to get the house cleaned before everyone arrives for the wedding. But I’ll still try to get some reading done. š
Currently Reading – Same as last week
Completed
I watched North and South again. Although I don’t really like either of the very flawed characters at the beginning of the story, they both turn out so wonderful in the end. š And look at that handsome brooding face….

Solo and The Devil’s Highway are the free Sync books this week (available till 5/10). Burning Magic is the third in a really cute series that I started reading a while back (the first one is Shadow Magic, and it’s well worth the read if you like middle school fantasy). Pete the Cat and the Dinosaur books are for M’s 6th birthday.
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. good luck with your last minute details. I can’t believe you are blogging at all! I’m impressed.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. It is not surprising that you are not getting a lot of reading done.
Some day I am actually going to read North and South.

You would enjoy North and South. It is a good representation of how the gentry responded to unionization and the industrialized age.

Hahaha spend it all on shoes š spoken like a true movie character. I almost don’t spend anything on shoes, actually. It’s super hard to make me go shoe shopping š
Your currently reading looks great š enjoy your week!

That’s funny. I hate shoe shopping too. But D is so stereotypical girly it’s funny. š It just comes naturally for her.
