It has been a while since posting. It seems pointless to say but I have been a little distracted from blogging...and, ugh, reading. I have picked up a handful of books only to put them down after 30 pages or so with the exception of Florence King's Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady which was a reread.
There are a numbers of reasons for my attention jumping all over the place...crochet projects for gifts, two March birthdays, and the hours I have spent glued to the radio taking in the turmoil in the Middle East and the tragedy in Japan as well as a very time consuming distraction...
Penelope Lane...
also known as Penny Lane.
My sister got an English Springer Spaniel for her birthday and she has become the center of our universe. We have also ramped up our house hunting with the better weather and I have finally settled with Dickens' behemoth Bleak House which seems to accurately describe the houses currently for sale in our area and my saddened outlook because winter, which is my favorite season, has ended. Boo!
Predicting more distraction to come as we tackle Penny Lane's housebreaking:)

What a cutie she is! And such an adorable name :-)
I loved the BBC Bleak House adaptation a few years ago so look forward to your thoughts on the novel.
Good luck with the house hunting!
What an adorable pup! Does she live at your house? Zelda is ecstatic with the few signs of spring that have finally arrived. Winter was tough on her... guess she'll always be a Florida dog at heart.
Good luck with the house hunting, and Bleak House, too!
Oh Stacy, Penny Lane is adorable! I can well imagine you would rather play with her than do anything else.
The housing market should be picking up now that Spring is here. Nevermind the fact that we are having a snowstorm this very minute. All the best in your hunt and enjoy Bleak House!
Penny Lane is SO cute! Springer spaniels are a bit like cocker spaniels, aren't they?
Oh Penny is cute! I would be distracted by her as well.
Welcome back. Penny is adorable, btw.
Cristina - I might be turning to the adaptation in a few days. With all that is going on, I can't quiet my mind enough to read...watching dvds is about all I am good for:)
JoAnn - No...she goes home with her mommy four days of the week...and I miss her when she is not here:( I think Zelda and Penny would get along just fine...Penny especially hates being rained on. I can imagine the cold and snow not agreeing with Zelda after all the warmth of FL:)
Darlene - I keep seeing that our neighbors up north are still getting snow...I'll take some if you want to share:)
chasingbawa - Thanks...yup they seem to be in the same family with the same adorably cute ears:)
Thomas - Thank you...Miss Lucy must have been just as distracting:)
Susan - Thank you:)
I love her! And what a great name. We had a half Springer once, and he was a great joy. Except his other half was Beagle, and the boy just wouldn't stay home. We'd hear him howling in the woods all night.
Nan - Ohhh, he must have been happy having all that space:) We have been having a lot of fun learning exactly why she is called a Springer. Sometimes I get the feeling she is part cat with the way she pounces on things and jumps everywhere.
CUTE!
