I’m slouching around in my pajamas, drinking Irish Breakfast (what is so Irish about it, anyway?) and listening to class lectures and cleaning out the 100+ emails in my school account, when I’m overcome with a fit of zealousness and decide it’s time to dress and go for a nice long walk.
I’m about to pull on my bedraggled sneakers when I notice I have a new voicemail. It’s the Katy-who-didn’t-leave-town-when-she-got-hitched, asking if I want to go for a hike with her & the girls. Two hours ago.
But I call back anyway, because you never know how long it will take to leave the house with a three-year-old and a baby. Turns out she had just been asking Q if she was ready for a walk, but she didn’t want to go without me.
Perfect.
Hopefully the paths won’t be too muddy and no one will slip and fall and embarrass themselves (ie, me).
In other news, I got my first address for the Modern Letter Project – yippee! Now the pressure’s on…
Also in other news, I started The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B...and I’m hooked. I think I read half of it yesterday. Makes me endlessly happy that I don’t live in 18th century France.

ohh I’m jealous of you – sounds like fun (with K and the girls.. I haven’t seen them in ages). Btw – who wrote this “Many Lives..”? I need a book I can get hooked on, especially since the last one was torn from me violently.

I really enjoyed that trilogy.
I just wish I knew where my copy of the first book WAS.

I’ve read Secret sorrows (fun, fun!) but not the other 2 in the trilogy.
I drink Irish Breakfast in the morning to wake me up as, according to the Twinings box: “it’s a brisk strong brew”.

I think you’re to blame for getting me started on Josephine, LC. I’ve got the second one on hold.
It certainly is a brisk strong brew…but I also find English Breakfast to be brisk and strong. Maybe not quite as brisk, but still.
J, I’ve got to write the follow-up post on our adventures and you might not be quite as jealous.
