well, look at that! i missed the whole week of blogging! and i don’t feel like using capitals. there could be only one meaning to this…..i’m on vacation!!!! yay!!!

what have i been up to? well, absolutely nothing! recharging batteries, reading, some holiday celebratory stuff, etcetera, etcetera. i’m starting to feel good again. i still haven’t unpacked from the move, but i’m working on it. i just might get the office and kitchen set up tonight.

i’ve been reading quite a bit though. i’ve completed my little austen spell with ‘pride and prejudice’ which i enjoyed. i then got back to the canada reads series for 2006 and read ‘a complicated kindness’ by miriam toews. i liked the book well enough to read it in three days (i measure my enjoyment of the book by how fast i read it). it is a sad tale but the author gets the teenage angst nailed down quite well.

i’ve also read cocksure by mordecai richler. this is a hilarious book that also took me three days to read. so there you go. chris and i are going through the canada reads 2006 books in order to actually enjoy the radio series about these books in april. anyone cares to join in on the fun? we’ve also got our hands on deafening which is another book from the list so i think i will read that one next. chris, on the other hand, is fussing over classic libraries so he’s two books behind me. will he catch up? stay tuned.
