The Sunday Salon: Trying to Stay Warm

Posted on 07:23 by Harry

Greetings from the icebox!

The scene//  9 AM, my favorite chair, sipping hot coffee, Zelda napping at my feet, the thermometer outside the window showing 3 degrees.

Reading//  I finished The Gravity of Birds by Tracy Guzeman last night and loved it! Today's question is what to read next. Four books are waiting to be picked up at the library (including The Boys in the Boat, our next book club selection), so I hate to start something new from my shelf today. Maybe I'll read The New York Times a little more thoroughly and spend some time writing reviews… or perhaps a short story or two.

Listening// One more CD left in The Signature of All Things and I don't want it to end.

Watching// Syracuse basketball… They barely slipped past Miami yesterday afternoon. Although these guys are still undefeated, the games are killing me. I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode of Downton Abbey - only twelve hours to go!

In the kitchen//  I'm making lasagna this afternoon - perfect comfort food for a cold day. My parents and brother are coming to dinner.

Blogging//  It's back to business this week for sure! Twin A returned to college yesterday and we're  settling back into our 'normal' routine. It's time to catch up on reviews.

Grateful for//  Smart wool socks from Daughter #1. I want to keep them on my feet forever!

Have a wonderful Sunday and stay warm, friends.
