The dishes called- they want to be clean

Yes I am having a lazy day, with so much to get done- I can't tear myself away from "Little Women".  I have long spells of not wanting to read... anything: leisure books, the mail, blogs, subtitles, etc.  Then I have short spells of being enthralled in a good book.  You can tell this is one of those reading spells because I am using words like enthralled.  

I got this new App on i-phone (don't be too jealous it is my husbands broken old one that I use as a pda)  Back to the App, it is a collection of 100 classic books.  And the best part about it is it will scroll automatically just by tilting it a little or a lot.  I love it.  It is called iflow and I read Jane Eyre on it which I thought was written by Jane Austen till Ben helped me out there half way through the book.

Jane Eyre was amazing!  I loved it so much and realized I already read the  book before in High school and that I own it, about 15 chapters into it.  It was everything I wanted it to be.  

Anyway back to real like... right after this chapter

I love Jane Eyre. It's one of my favorite books. I made Cody watch the five hour, Masterpiece Theater version with me.

I just read Jane Eyre last week! I decided to read it 'cause I never did in high school and I felt really uneducated. I am finally in a reading mood too (after about a 10 year post-graduation lull).

"Because," he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you — especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame."

LOVE that book . . .

We are not sure exactly what night we will be playing softball, but it looks like Tuesdays or Thursdays. We wanted to see if we could get a team together before we actually signed up and picked a night. We would love to have you play! Kenny and Jill said you would be a great player.

I am going to sign up next week so I will know more info then. I hope it works out that you are able to play with us because we would love to have you!

Katie!!!! I'm so glad you left a comment on my blog! And the recipe for the lemon-rosemary chicken is just linked on my blog, just click on those words. And this post made me smile for so many different reasons - you are too funny and I feel like I can almost hear you in your blog posts. :) I'm glad you liked Jane Eyre - I feel a desire to be better about getting into the classics and am reading Thackeray's Vanity Fair right now. I'll have to let you know how it goes!
