What I am loving...

David taught Little B to say "Madness" (for March Madness) while shaking her fists whenever she sees basketball on TV.  I love it because she says it so clearly, while other words are not as intelligible. She is such a little sponge, picking up on all that we do. David likes that it is a fun party trick for all his friends and family.  It really is pretty cute.

 

This book is so good.  It pulls you in from the very beginning.  I wish I could just sit in a comfy chair and read this book from cover to cover in one sitting.  But with my life, that is next to impossible.  So instead I settle, for stolen moments after Little B goes to bed.  The To-Do list is neglected, but so worth it because this book is that good.

Continuing on the literary theme, one of my friends gave me the most brilliant idea.  It is so brilliant that I am kind of mad that I did not think of it myself.  See everyday, I have this dilemma when Little B takes her nap or is asleep for the night... Cross stuff off the To-Do list or indulge in a little book reading.  More often than not, the To-Do list wins.  So when my friend mentioned that she does her To-Do list items while listening to an audio book on her iPod, I became so excited.  And then when I discovered that LibriVox offers recordings of the classics for free, I was beyond ecstatic. Librivox is kind of like the PBS of audio books.  Efficiency, frugalism, and literary joy at its finest!  So these days, I am listening to Madame Bovary and my bathroom has never sparkled so much.
 

I am in a weird egg salad kick these days.  To me, an egg salad sandwich or egg salad on crackers is the perfect cool lunch as the temps are reaching a ridiculous 100 degrees in April (WTH!).  Plus, Little B inhales it, which is even better.
