I've been doing a lot of reading lately. Mostly just 'fun' books that aren't going to make me any smarter. I reread my fave: A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, for the poopteenth time earlier this week. I very badly want to go to the lower east side tenament museum right now! I'm almost finished with We Were The Mulvaney's, which is depressing and makes me want to hit people. I also read a book I picked up at Wal-Mart, called Happiness Sold Seperately, and it kind of made me want to die. Lots of fertility issues, miscarriages, and infidelity. Fun. Next up is Water For Elephants, and I've still got Rhett Butler's People sitting on my shelf collecting dust.
I've not gotten much further on any of the socks I posted in my last entry. I finished my baby quilt though. I'm not thrilled with the binding so I'm not taking pictures of it!
I want to go to Ohio for the weekend. I wonder if I can pull it off. I keep changing my mind. It's such a long drive to only really spend 1 day there. Plus there's the issue of gas costing 1 billion dollars a gallon, and add that to the issue of us not really having any spending money, added to the issue of our vacation scheduled for the beginning of may and we've got quite a conundrum. It will work itself out in the wee hours of this morning. Hopefully I will not be bummed about whatever decision I come to!
