productive.......

ok, so today was the usual blur of trying to get done everything that i failed to do earlier in my 4 day weekend......like finish sewing projects......or finish books that i have started....or work on my non-tan.......yeah....i know that tanning is bad,bad,bad.......but i still need a bit of vitamin d on a daily basis....and i like mine a bit toasted....just a bit.......and so i got up early, read the paper.....walked 2 miles....and then started in a lotr extended version mini-marathon.......it took the first 2 installments to get my projects mostly done and the sewing machine put away........i could have gone on to return of the king......but the day was getting away from me and i opted for variety rather than closure......maybe i can finish up both the sewing and the movie marathon next weekend......the book i finished was the ladies #1 detective agency.....which i have had for quite awhile but never read.....and it turned out to be nothing like i thought it would be.....certainly not a genre-type book...light miss marple stuff for the paperback book crowd.......this was a booker prize runner up.....and for good reason......it brings together such disparate subjects as botswana, arranged marriages, entrepreneurial spirit, cattle herding.......i am glad that i was able to fit that book into my day.......
