My reading is sort of on hold at the moment. Anything I do read lately seems to be children's, young adult, or a graphic novel. Not that I'm complaining because I love them, but I would love to sink into a hefty novel or non-fiction book and only peek out a few times. I need to be immersed! The last book I read was a Babymouse graphic novel....Monster Mash. Cute, but hardly fodder for immersion.
Easter was great here. We hid eggs for Rocketboy, made up a nice gift basket for him, and there were surprises for Chuck and Memaw (Chuck's mom). I made out like a bandit! I got a Half-Price Books giftcard from Rocketboy and Chuck got me a beautiful jewelry box with a gorgeous pair of silver and pearl earrings inside. Not to mention a set of pearl studs and a delectable book--The History of Farting. It can't all be sunshine and pearls, ladies. The farts need their moment in the sun, too. :)
We spent the afternoon having lunch with my mom, and we went to a big family Easter egg hunt that my clan hosts every year. In fact, below you can see one of the highlights. Chuck took it upon himself to ask my mom--very sweetly--if she'd take a picture of us. And when she did, he cracked a confetti egg over my head. Haruumphf.
It was a great day--like most days are around here. Now if I could only settle on a book! I've also been dipping in and out of:
Feed, by M.T. Anderson (teaching)
Parvana's Journey, by Deborah Ellis (teaching)
The Collected T.S. Eliot (for fun)
I'll be back, before another two weeks rolls along, with an update!
