It's been a week

that I've been sans bebes. We've managed to get to the movies and eat out a couple times, we even got some stuff done. Mr. Logo installed a new screen door on the front of the house.
Innit purty? We also did some shopping and found a night stand for Mr. Logo that goes with our room. He even has drawers to keep stuff in, oooooooo.
With no Things here to distract me I actually got to read four, count them, FOUR books!
So I shall be arising early and heading off to fetch my young.

When I first read "...and found a night stand for Mr. Logo..." I thought it said, "...and found a one night stand for Mr. Logo..."
I thought you were being mighty generous until I reread it! LOL!

Wow, a whole week. I bet it was a bit weird.While I always enjoyed some time off but it was a little lonely too.

Cool night stand.

Lucky you - four books in one week. Yum.

What a wonderful vacation idea.
Now that Mall Diva will be leaving in three years and Toyplayer will be going to school in four, I am thinking about getting things done too.

Great night stand!

Read four books,huh? Good use of your time I'd say.

Balou said...

What a nice vacation. I bet the elder parents will read books next week too. ;) Which was your favorite book?

lime said...

Airam said...

Susie~ way! The door doesn't cover any more than the white one did, you can still see the orange and he seems pretty fond of his night stand too.

Seamus~ I'm a giver, but I don't give him THAT :p

Goldennib~ Yah, I kinda miss the little turkeys but the reading time has been awesome.

Arm~ Well, ya know, none of them were Harry Potter :p My new screen door has a hinge thing that works and it is all lined up on the track and EVERYTHING! Love it.

Weirsdo~ First thing though, make sure that is really what you want to do because the doing nothing for a while is pretty fabuous too!

TLP~ He did pick a good one, the man has taste, in furniture AND women.

Balou~ The Book of Fate was not bad, your typical innocent-sucked-into-a-world-of-intrigue kind of a deal but a good one of the genre, the reddish one was a suspense take on a romance novel and it was ok, brain candy, ya know?
Seeing Voices is non-fiction, about Deafness and sign language and Running with Scissors is about an interesting young man who grows up with a mentally ill mother, a father who rejected him, a therapist who adopted him and how twisted they all were. Made me sad.

Lime~ He writes well, he is amusing, thinking about his story makes me want to cry.

Airam~ I was like a starving woman, ok, it had to be done, for my survival. Unfortunately I picked three of them at the teeny tiny local branch of our library system and there was not alot of selection.

Yay!

I always miss my kids for three days, enjoy the time alone finally at the fourth day...cos i get the hang of it...then they get home, dang it!

Logophile said...

Furiousball~ Clearly you are a man of superior taste... and shovelling ability.

Gillian~ Ya know, Typepad has given me a hard time once or twice here lately. Amanda password protected it but sometimes I can't get the sign in, very odd.

Snavy~ Its a library book but I have some scissors you can run with if you want?

Cindra~ Yay is about right, ooooh yes. Im glad to have them home though.
