reading list

To keep my mind off the damn tea-partiers and the sad state of our country at this time, I have been reading two good books. One is A Covert Affair by Jennet Conant. I adored the movie Julie and Julia, or is it Julia and Julie, anyway this is about Julia Child and her husband Paul Child in the OSS. The book flows. 
And because of my love of penguins, I am reading Noah Strycker's book, Among Penguins, A Bird Man in Antarctica.
It is still crazy hot here in Missouri but if they finally come to an agreement in Washington and the Republicans start acting like they care about our country, I promise I won't complain about the weather anymore. Well, maybe not anymore this summer!

the end, almost

Monday's steps totalled 8,700 or 3.29 miles. Today's steps totalled 7,925 or 3 miles. I've been thinking about what to do with all the money I'm making. I'll receive two big checks; one at the end of May and one in June. I've thought about trading in my one-carrot diamond for a bigger one (I really like diamonds) but I don't wear the one I have now. I could take a trip to Antarctic to see the penguins or I could stick it in the bank to use when I buy a different car. It's nice to come up with wild ideas. I'll probably bank it!
