Today is the third day of my vacation – yay – and just a quick check-in from the land of projects and reading.<\/p>\n

Projects scheduled for this vacation include filling the dumpster that arrives tomorrow (thus gaining much space in garage, yard, and basement); preparing for our upcoming yard sale; finish painting in our glorious new bathroom; and\u00a0final coats of paint on the front and back doors.\u00a0 And maybe we’ll be able to build those front steps that we’ve been procrastinating on – Jim dug and poured the cement footings last year, so it shouldn’t be too hard to complete the project.\u00a0 Plenty of stuff to keep me very busy!<\/p>\n

Reading that is planned for this vacation includes:\u00a0 The Glorious Adventures of the Sunshine Queen<\/a><\/em> by Geraldine McCaughrean; Hole in My Life<\/a><\/em> by Jack Gantos; The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making<\/a><\/em> by Catherynne M. Valente; and a few books from that pile of to-be-read books that has been dejectedly glaring at me from the shelf in the living room for two years.\u00a0 And if anyone has a suggestion of a *fabulous* book that I simply *must* read, please do list the title in the comments…<\/p>\n

I’ll post reading and project updates as time allows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
