Baseball tans and sandy floors

Went out for breakfast yesterday morning with Sarah at Rebar because I was told the pancakes are delicious (thanks Ria!). We both had the pancakes with blackberry orange yoghurt and cinnamon butter, the special of the day. Can't wait to go back again, although they were a little pricey (10.75$) for three pancakes. It was nice though, because then we spent the day watching Fraser (her fiance) and Mike playing in a softball tournament. Mike sprained his wrist and got a nice farmer tan and Sarah and I amused ourselves sunbathing and eating too many nibs. Afterwards, we all went for a team bbq in which Sarah and I once again ate too much and then proceeded to fall asleep in the hot tub.

This morning, I went to Thetis again, had a couple of hours to myself to read and go for a nice long swim. The water is cool now but after a few minutes it's just perfect and I could swim all day. I'm still plodding through Pride and Prejudice, but I'm starting to get into it now and it's actually getting good. Must finish it before Jenn leaves so that we can watch the movie together. I hate watching the movie before I've read the book, although I have to admit that I'm already picturing Kiera Knightly while reading about Elizabeth Bennet. Why do they have to call the characters by so many names? Miss Bennet, Elizabeth, Eliza, Lizzy. I can't keep the sisters straight as it is.

Well, tomorrow is clean the house day. Ugg. My floors are so sandy from lake towels. Somehow I just can't seem to shake all the sand out before I get home.

Read, read, read! I can't believe that you can put Pride & Prejudice down once you've picked it up... I think the time may have come for us to recognize that our tastes may no longer be the same... :)

Love Jenn

Actually, I'm really in to the book and have been reading it all day. The first fifty pages or so were hard for me to get used to the style of writing...but now it's really good!

Ah yes, Colin Firth. We watched the BBC version in high school and all us girls swooned. Mr. Darcy is such a dreamboat!

And Sabrina, we must get together sometime soon. We will lament the absence of the other gals, cry into our eggs benedict or cheesecake or what-have-you.

love Pamela
