Welcome to the new Sunday Salon. A weekly update post about my boring life. ;)
Weather Small Talk: I woke up this morning to snow. :( Still snowing now. Sigh!
On The Idiot Box: I feel like I missed quite a bit because I was at LTUE the last three days but I did watch House on Monday and am irritated that they "might" me getting rid of Dr. Chase (Jesse Spencer) Can you blame me?!
Weekly Reads: I'm reading Atonement by Ian McEwan for book club and am not enjoying it too well. It's a little slow and who can really like a book that's described as, "A beautiful and majestic panorama."? ;) I'm also reading Shade by John B. Olson and it's a little confusing but at least a LOT more stuff is actually happening.
Crazy Kitty: I'm quite sure she missed me quite desperately while I was gone most of the week.
This Week: LTUE took over the last half of the week. It's a writers conference, for those of you who don't know, and it was a blast! A hard chairs, buns aching blast! I took lots of notes and have some fun post ideas and a little more desire to get back to writing.
Movie of the Week: No movies this week but I want to see The Vow that just came out and a few others. If I could just find the time.
Food Talk: Going to LTUE wreaked a tiny bit of havock on my diet. I got to eat hamburgers, fries, tater tots, brownies, and white bread. Eeek! Back to the diet for me.
Soccer Sightings: Actually my team is playing now so I don't have much to report. They are a goal down, though. Come on guys! Oh, they got a penalty now it's a tie at the half!
Music Discoveries: We Are Young by Fun. I never know if I should show these crazy music videos as they might offend some people but this one does have some cool slow motion stuff that's fun.
Plans For The Week: I need to focus and read like crazy in order to finish Atonement for book club on Thursday.
If the music videos offend anyone, it's their own fault. They don't have to watch them. The conference sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteExactly! ;) And the conference was a lot of fun.
DeleteGetting rid of Dr. Chase?! Say it ain't so!
ReplyDeleteI'm not absolutely sure but I think we'll know by tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
DeleteI liked it! The song! :)
ReplyDeleteI've had a nice nap and my body feels nearly normal now, even after the three hours of church sitting.
And I finally started the book. It is a slow sweeping thing, isn't it.
Yay! I like when we both enjoy a song.
DeleteI had to go to a relief society meeting so no much needed nap for me. :(
Ugh, and I think I'm starting to remember why I thought I was going to hate it. The book, I mean.
You can send the snow down here. Seriously -- I love snow! It hasn't even felt like winter for most of the season although it has been super cold the past couple of nights.
ReplyDeleteYou can have all the snow you want! ;) I shouldn't whine, it's been a really mild winter.
DeleteThis is a very cute meme idea, and I like hearing about your real life, even though I don't know you at all. Is that weird? I hope you can get back to writing. I know how that goes...
ReplyDeleteNot weird at all. I love learning about the people behind the blog. I really should get back to writing.
DeleteWhat do you mean your team was down? You were watching them weren't you? That's the magic formula! I'm so excited that you attended a writing conference. Would love to read something of yours one day!
ReplyDeleteOh, they won. No worries. :)
DeleteHa! So It's true then...spooky
DeleteI know, it is isn't it? ;0
DeleteThat's so funny I was thinking about picking up The Atonement to read this week but decided not to! I'm in the mood for something more light hearted. And I saw The Vow this weekend! I was slightly disappointed because I had high expectations but you should definitely still go and see it!
ReplyDeleteAtonement is sooooo not light. It's driving me quite mad! I'll try to keep my expectations low for The Vow.
DeleteMan I'm way out of things. Never even heard of the Vow, or the Atonement. The music video....cool moves but, again, clueless....
ReplyDeletesoccer....no time for that but I still love a good soccer game. A writing conference sounds Extremely interesting.....especially since I'm in the middle of trying to organize a story that's been floating around in my head for years.
and.....
Believe me, you don't want to hear about Atonement. ;)
DeleteI wish you'd get those ideas together and write something. Me too for that matter.
For some reason I thought that conference was called LUTE (and was like a medieval, fantasy thing). Apparently not. I think my brain just likes making things up. Glad you had fun though!
ReplyDeleteI love that! LUTE. Hee hee.
DeleteSigh. I'm so jealous of LTUE! I can't wait to hear more about it.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been fun if you could have come.
