My friend Becky made fairy cakes for book club last night. They were delicious. There are only two left. Perhaps the fairies snuck some for breakfast. Yes, that must be what happened. ;)
We discussed Jane Eyre
I also seem to be over my Twilight obsession. I mean, of course I'll keep reading them over and over and getting excited about the movies, and buying all the movies on Blu-Ray, and watching them repeatedly, but I'm also very excited to read other things right now. (Edward Cullen, please meet Edward Rochester, who is one of the original Byronic heroes. If not for him, I strongly suspect you would not exist.) I've noticed there is a very nice camaraderie amongst women who have really gotten into the Twilight books. We cluck and say nice commiserating words to women who are just discovering them and going through that first week of no sleep, as if we'd all had some kind of weird disease together. You'll survive, and be stronger for it. Don't worry.
I've actually read many enjoyable novels this year, and will discuss them in a later post. In other news, I found a tablecloth I like at Crate and Barrel last week. This is exciting to me because I rarely find tablecloths I like, and now I can have one liked tablecloth in the kitchen and one liked tablecloth in the dining room. (I still have to hang that mirror up, in case you're wondering why it's just leaning against the wall like that. That mirror was my Mother's Day present. It's like the one in the living room over the sofa. I'm trying to make it seem like there are windows and a source of light and air in the claustrophic and dark dining room.)
St. John Rivers would not approve of my frivolous delight in these household items, but that's too bad, because I don't marry him.
i love jesus and the good news ... that through his death and resurrection he offers us reconcilation with the loving, sovereign, and holy god of the universe. yay!
