Lazy Day

Happy Easter and Passover!  I hope spring is treating you all well.  The weather here is bright, sunny, and warm.  A delightful spring day.

I woke up sore this morning and feeling lazy.  I did something I haven't done in ages.  It involved rolling over and picking up a book.  There was a time when every morning started this way (or at least I wanted it too!).  Somehow I lost my habit of reading.  Bad move.  Reading is such a joy. 

But, what to read?  I am so out of the loop that I don't have any ideas.  Please suggest some titles for me.  I like Barbara Kingsolver, Isabelle Allende, and Alice Walker.  A bit of quirkiness never is amiss.  And, animals, love me some critters.  Non-fiction maybe?  Clearly, I am not very focused.

The lazy day continues.  Some shawl knitting, a baseball game (viewed from home and my comfy couch), maybe a bit of gardening.  Somehow Easter has become my day to plant tomatoes.  That would require getting out of my jammies and going to the getting place though.  Might be too tall a task.

My (not so) big news today . . . a hair cut.  And a few self-portraits a la Rachael the Queen of self-portraits.

Roger says it looks like I have deep thoughts.  I'm pretty sure he was making a joke at my expense.

Way too many chins happening here.  And, why do my eyes disappear when I smile?

This one is so very wrong.  For so many reasons. 

Not too bad.

Impish!

Love the hair cut!  It is short, sassy, and easy.  Can you believe that I had hair to my hips for 20 years?  No bangs or anything.  Never again.

Have a happy day!

This may not be at all what you're looking for, but I was reading Discover magazine yesterday and saw a review for a book titled "Wild Justice" by Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce. It's about the moral lives of animals. Non-fiction, obviously, and it's about critters, but it may be a bit heavy for morning reading.

Cute hair! But your hair always looks cute. I'm really loving Dorothy Dunnett right now - dense historical fiction. Try "Nicolo Rising" - there is dyeing!

Very cute haircut! I love it. :)

Happy Easter!

(I'm currently too short on brain to read anything serious, so have been working my way through mystery series. Yay Anne Perry! :) )

ADORABLE! Where'd you go? Wow, it's like you should always have had that exact haircut.

I read Vikram Seth's An Equal Music not long ago. It's a freaking masterpiece. Now re-reading Nick Hornby: About a Boy, High Fidelity, A Long Way Down. For "vacation reading," Anita Shreve is eminently readable and not... literary-merit-free.

PS I LOVE YOUR HAIR. :)

That's a great hair cut! Stylish and young. It looks like it'd be easy to care for too.

I've started reading A.S. Byatt, who is a very literary writer. Her book "Passion" is a bit of a "who done it" with a few dogs and cats thrown in.

Love the haircut!

Loving the hair - very sassy! :) I wish I could help you with the books, but I'm very much in the same boat as you with that one. Making a mental note now to check back here and read some of the suggestions.

Great minds think a like! I just got my hair chopped off short too, so nice and cool for summer!

Just read Water For Elephants. A great book and it even has animals in it. Nice haircut.

I hear you on the long hair thing. I lost 10 lbs the day I cut mine all off. I love your new style. My cut comes tomorrow and it is going to be short short short. I like it to stick up like a brush cut these days. Perhaps it is the local climate. Anyway, sounds like you had fun relaxing for once.

I can’t go to bed without reading. I sometimes do, but miss it terrible when it happens.
Have you read Eva Luna from Isabel Allende? It talks about my country, so it has a special meaning for me. My absolute favorite, however, is House of the Spirits it's her master piece I think. Also Animal, Vegetable, and Miracle from Barbara Kingsolver it’s supposed to be life changing.

Love it!
