what a fun, lazy weekend i just had!
saturday morning we woke up to intermittent rain-yuck! but worse was the fact that the weather was causing the planes to change their path and LOUDLY land over our apt about every 2 minutes. i became so cranky and irritable that matt handed me my purse and said, "go shopping." (ha!!!) however, i knew i would just be exposed to more LOUD people and people who don't know how to drive in the rain. therefore, i went to the library and checked out about 7 chapter books that i had read as a child. then i came home and curled up in my down comforter with my books, some french vanilla coffee, and cookie dough. i read and laughed all day--and what great memories those books evoked!! i sort of got the idea for this when i was observing a child one day during read-aloud. the teacher was reading one of my favorite childhood books, "my father's dragon", and i got so engrossed in it. he came to a stopping point (of course at an exciting part), closed the book and said, "we're going to stop here". everyone (including me) yelled, "NOOOOO, pleeeease read some more!"
we're getting excited for visitors (san fran boys on friday, michelle on tuesday) and joshua tree!
taxes are done, thank GOD!
