Got back from Washington DC on Friday and brought a lovely chest cold home with me. :( I'm not feeling horrible but I just don't have any energy. I had big plans this weekend to paint the downstairs bathroom, but I don't think that's going to happen now. I think it's going to be a "get caught up on the movies and books I've been meaning to watch/start reading".
Did some reading while in DC this time. I bought and read two books in the last 5 days. The first one was Push, the novel the movie Precious is based on. One of the hardest books I've ever read. Hard in the subject matter is tough to imagine. The language is pretty raw and it's just such a horrific story. Brought tears to my eyes several times.
The second book was a recommend from one of people who was in Washington with me. We were at a bookstore and she said I had to read this book. The Glass Castle was one of those "can't put down" books and I read it until I was finished. What an interesting and unbelievable book. I think my mouth and jaw were hanging for most of the story. To think that a family could live the way the Walls did was hard to imagine. I highly recommend it to all of you.
I finally took the time to watch Slumdog Millionaire also. Very good movie!
I've got some projects that I've finished in the last couple of weeks that I'm going to share as soon as I'm feeling better. A couple of them have been in my "To-Do" pile for quite a while and I'm happy that they are finally finished.
