reading

i’m not usually on OD on the weekends but d is at work this morning and i needed to ask him something, so i came on to e-mail him.

i’m finally reading again.  it’s been a while since i devoured a book and i could feel my brain rotting. i’ve been reading Portrait of a Lady but it’s a SLOW read. that kind of literature always is.  yesterday, though, i picked up a bunch of magazines and some books at the library.  i don’t need literature b/c i have a library at home for that but research materials can only be acquired online (unless it’s related to literature–then i have it.) 

at the moment, i am reading The Healthy Baby Book  (all about birth defects and medical problems and how to prevent them) and after that, i will read Parenting Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth. i also picked up a book on decorating, of course. unfortunately, the library in our town does not have books published as recently as i might like…they just don’t get the funding.  damn this world, eh?

anyway, it never hurts to be well-informed, even if i am either possibly just pregnant or not at all.  i will be one well-read mama.

just a question: is it weird to be thinking of names even before we’re pregnant?

it’s raining like a son of a bitch here.  i hate rain, and we have a birthday party for our nephew tonight at 6. i don’t like going out in the rain. grrrr…and to top it off, it’s only 3 degrees (celcius) outside. i hate the cold too.  AND we might get wet snow.  i hate the snow too. that’ll be good for all the flowers and plants that have come up in my yard in the past couple weeks.

on the movie front, the forgotten was stupid and spanglish wasn’t all that great either. adam sandler should NOT do dramas. he sucks at it.  he’s actually not much of an actor, to tell you the truth.  seems like a nice guy, though…but that could be untrue too. who knows?

well, i’m off to look for a book i want. i want to see how much it is and if d will let me order it. i doubt it.
