Days off

Well, Mike is now on the third day of his four off. It's so nice to have him home for a nice stretch each week. Sort of like a little holiday each time. Unfortunately, this one started off with his being sick and a rain/thunder storm, which meant that we couldn't go to the rodeo like we had planned on Sunday. However, on monday we were finally able to get our computer desk, microwave hutch and bookshelf! Yeah! I'm so excited about the desk because it is real wood and it has a whole table top that I can write on and put my marking on--it's great! Also, I can finally start unpacking my books. Not all of them, mind you, because I would need a whole library room for that, but at least my favourites, and the ones I'm planning on reading soon. I've read so many books in the last year, it's crazy. Way more than I read throughout my whole University career. Most of them are YA fiction, but those are my favourites, plus it's what I want to write. In fact, I read all 7 Harry Potter books since Christmas. I had never read them before, just watched the movies, but finally decided I should, and then got addicted like the rest of the world. Actually, I've been dying to talk to someone about the last book, but my sister hadn't read it yet, and i don't want to give anything away for others. But, wasn't it soo good!? I even convinced Mike to read the series as I liked them so much. I wonder what she's going to write next?

Well, the sky outside my window is bright blue, so I'm hoping the summer weather is coming back for a little while. I'm planning on doing something outside, but I don't know what yet!
