Field Notes- Thursday, May 4th. Jane Austin. Clouds. Assorted large trucks in the pull out spot.


 Center of the gift peonies from last week.

Going to be an all over the place post today......shotgun style.

Big trucks coming down the road, turning, backing into the turn around spot. (sort of across from our driveway)  Getting out to pee. The driver...not the truck itself- peeing.  Endlessly.  What is going on? Here comes another truck.  Beep beep...backing into the spot.

Reading:  I am seeing a definitely subconscious theme in the books.  First was  Accidental Beauty Queen Teri Wilson.  About identical twin sisters.  One a Librarian who loves Jane Austen and wears old large sweatshirts and one a Beauty Queen wannabe.......  Darcy is a pageant judge. A very lovely guy wearing beautiful tailored suits.  The author goes on and on about this guys clothing...it was swoonie.  The bookish awkward sister has to pretend to be the Beauty Contest Sister. I liked it.  A lot.

Next: Accidentally Engaged. Farah Heron.  Seeing a theme????  A young woman has a new neighbor living across the hall.  They meet.  He's supposed to be thinking about marrying her (parental interference) but neither wants to be married.  They get really drunk and video themselves cooking and send it into a Cable Network Food Show. For a "couples" contest.  They get selected.  And have to fake being a couple. For weeks.

Next: Off my own bookshelf: Incense and Sensibility.  Sonali Dev. Another Lizzie and Darcy knockoff.  A political candidate for Governor and a Yoga Instructor.  I actually adore this book. Read it over and over again. In fact, I like all three of the books.  The last one..the Emma Project might actually be my favorite.

So there you are...waiting for it to rain.  House lights on.  Trouble with TiVo yesterday.  The loss of TV would be a stake in my HEART.  I'm feeling dizzy.....lack of protein and it being 12 noon.  Sigh.
