Reading a little Jane Austen- very different experience from watching Jane Austen. I thought I should experience it all in her own words.
Date night last night- love that I have a responsible, dependable babysitter that the kids love- doesn't hurt that she's their cousin either!!!
So date night- great food- good conversation, oh and Italian wine and dessert (but not at the same time!)
Crazy fall weather in August- it is like mid-October and it's the beginning of August. But the nights are totally lovely!
Running- I am not a natural runner- it hurts- seriously- I think it hurts my brain.
All exercise hurts my brain.
Knitting. Love knitting. Everyone is getting something knit by me for Christmas- that's my way of justifying buying such wonderful yarn.
The Olympics- something fun to watch on TV. I am just mesmerized by the talent- the committment-
The Olympics- I am troubled by the the injuries that atheletes sustain to reach that level of competition. When I read about the girls gymnast team- young 12, 14 year girls sustaning broken knees, tearing muscles, etc, I think that nothing can be worth that. The Hamm brothers, breaking wrists, tearing pec muscles. And yet what do they shed their tears about- not being able to compete. Yeah I get it- but all that training, all that hard work, and what do atheletes do- what do their coaches do- what do their sponsors do- encourage them to quickly heal- hide the tears and get right back up. What about healing the body- properly. They will have those injuries the rest of their life- it may not matter much now- but 10-20 years it will. It really hits something deep inside me.
I am very very excited about me reading list for school this sememster- books I have not read- books I probobly would not have chosen for myself- but books that will expand my horizons. Now let me say they are also books that are going to be HARD.
Today- may be a day at the zoo... a day with some knitting... a day with a little J. Austen... a day with a movie... just a day.
