Mmmm….
Good morning. I am having peanut butter toast and COFFEE this morning. Peanut butter toast because I can not take the meds without food (learned that the hard way).
I am having a love hate relationship with the pain killers. I love them because when I take them I no longer feel the ache of my shoulder, arm, wrist, fingers and leg…. hate them…. because I don’t like to take anything.
Last night I had book club. I had book club which I love. I have book club which I love AND I did not have the book read. GAH. 😛 The book is The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I just picked it up from the library yesterday. It is a short read a couple of hours to read – 4 hours on audio. What was interesting about this review is that it is a true story, an actual lecture of a dying man. Not our usual genre and that is what excites me. I love to see us branch out as a group. The discussion was amazing and tearful. I can not wait to get it read so I can review it and share with you this incredible group of women.
One of the girls in our group brought her mom which was so much fun! I love that others want to join us! We also picked out t-shirts last night for our group which I am excited about. They will be in next month so I will get group pics then. I love that this group is growing in so many ways!
As for friends… I sit here this morning fully packed and other than packing up LAPTOP, I am ready to go. My friends Cindy, Heidi, and Sara are meeting here at 7 am where we will load up and road trip to Chicago. No reason other than we planned a road trip last fall and now… here it is. I thought about cancelling with my arm all wrapped and my body beaten… but Al (hubby) and I decided i should still go. It will be good to go on a relaxing trip. This time of year his schedule is busy and he is gone from morning until night anyway. So…. here I am… ready for new adventures (although thinking June 2011 has been enough of an adventure already…LOL)
I have soooo many reviews to write and two interviews and I plan to do so as soon as I can. I hate being behind but each night when I sit down to do it…. I get sleepy and decide it will have to wait.
Anyhoo… the girls said that as long as I am not on LAPTOP all the time… he can come with – so yay!!! (I will try not to abuse my rights… ;))
Have an awesome Wednesday…. I will be on all week to update you on the who, what, and where…. 😀
Book Journey 
hi Honey! I can only give you a gentle hug virtually. You were in my dreams last night! I was at your house for dinner and you had quite a crowd and lots of good family style food. you were a bit cranky because you didn’t have enough chairs for everyone to sit at the table. That was it. have an awesome day!
Hi Care! 🙂 How funny about your dream… you know… not having enough chairs would annoy me 🙂
No wonder you’re tired. Your body is using a lot of energy to heal, so there isn’t much left over for your normal schedule. Hope you enjoy your trip to Chicago, but pace yourself please. Good Lord, I sound like your mother. 😀
LOL – thanks Mom 🙂
Have a fun road trip with your friends, Sheila!
Thanks Mary – we always do 😀
Oh, I know what you mean about the pain killers…kind of a mixed blessing. I like the sound of peanut butter toast, though.
Have a fun trip!
I am not a big breakfast person so peanut butter toast is a new thing for me… but yeah…YUM!!!
Have fun on your road trip to Chicago! I hope you will be able to go off your pain medication soon.
Me too Christina… I keep trying 😀
Have a fantastic trip and I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks 😀
Oh, I’ve heard Randy Pausch is like a 3 zillion kleenex box read!
Have fun on your trip – be careful not to get jostled!!!
I am behind on it Jill – but looking forward to it 😀
It sounds like you need a relaxing getaway. I hope you have a great time!
I hope so Kathy – I almost cancelled but them thought what the heck… 😛
Ohh, I think I’ve heard about that book. And yay for your book club growing in so many ways! 😀 Have a great trip!
Thanks Hannah – I love when we branch out as a group. We laughed and cried… I remember those reviews best… 🙂
I hope you have a fantastic trip with your friends!
Thanks Alyce 😀
Have fun on your trip. Peanut butter toast-that may have some medicinal uses, you never know!
Thanks Lisa… I agree… the magic posers of peanut butter… 😛
Hope your trip to the city proves to be a relaxing and fun one even with you all banged up. I do not live far from Chicago, but rarely find myself there, but when I do visit, I love it. Enjoy!
