~Saturday Seven (and a few extra for good measure)~
::I (and my family) spent an afternoon with Elaine from Know Myself, her husband Seth from Collateral Bloggage, and their son Ethan. I really love it when I can finally call wonderful blog friends real-life friends. Thanks for taking the time to visit, Elaine!!
::I spent hours on an addicting United States geography game (thanks a lot, Tera….).
::I’m ashamed to admit it, but I watch American Idol and adore Casey James. There. I said it. (Harry Connick, Jr. isn’t too bad, either.) So very glad Aaron went home this week. I’m liking the top four.::I’m suddenly feeling about 7 months pregnant. I’m measuring a couple weeks ahead, and after three 9 1/2 pound babies there is very little chance this baby is going to be a small one. Ultrasound in two weeks…
::I walked 5 mornings with my little sister again this week, and then an afternoon nature walk with my older sister (with kids). I think I actually got in my word quota this week. Grin.
::I love this book list: The Literature of Honor for Boys. Speaking of reading, how about this College Instructor’s Advice To Parents of Middle and High Schoolers.
::I officially have baby fever. If you click on only one link in this post, let it be this movie trailer.
::After a long dry spell from reading, I started in on The Devil in the White City. And finished all 400 pages in two days. Do not stop by my house unexpectedly. It’s not a pretty sight.
::I’m the last person in the world to watch The Blind Side. It was worth the wait.
::I love family time: last night at the swimming pool, this (gorgeously sunny!) morning at the local farmers’ market (listening to live music and eating fresh-baked raspberry scones) and then the library.
::I have about 20 blog posts I’ve started but haven’t taken the time to finish up and publish…
Though the circular round-and-round of routine be the bulk of life’s affairs, make an occasional jutting diversion – of fun, love, or something that will outlast you – so the shape and motion of your life shall resemble the round lifegiving sun with bright rays shining forth from all directions.
