Currently Reading...

...a lot of legal documents. We have chosen a home and reached an agreement with the seller. If all goes as planned, we should be in our new home by summer. Because of the brain cramp that comes over me every time I pick up contract to read and sign, I had to set Bleak House aside in favor of a comfort read... a rereading of James Herriot's complete series. With how many times my mind wanders while trying to get through a paragraph, Herriot is a perfect choice.

My reading takes place in the late minutes/hours before bed because I have started sorting, cleaning and planning the move. Next up will be packing what I can get away with so far out from the actual move. Free time is in short supply and as such I will be taking a break from blogging until life resumes normality.

A Little Distracted...

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:)
