Reading is FUN (damental)

I'm really doing well on my book-reading goal for the month. I just finished Everything is Illuminated and passed it off to my husband to read while he's on the plane to Texas for the week. I'm hoping to see the movie in the next couple of weeks, mainly because it looks really cute (and having Elijah Wood in it doesn't hurt). Now I'm onto book #3 for the month, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I've heard so many things about this book and now it's being made into a movie courtesy of Peter Jackson. I chose this one from the stack by again asking Sam to pick a number between 1 and 8 and choosing top or bottom. So he chose 6 and bottom (or was it 3 and top?), which led me to this book. It's a great time to start a new book.



Sam is gone for the week and I'm sure that I'm going to find myself incredibly bored. I was so bored today that I took a "short nap", which turned into sleeping the entire time that Sam was on the plane (almost 5 hours). I'm sure I'll be up all night, which isn't terrible. I'm seeming to have a burst of energy right now, which explains why I'm posting as well as why I caught up on all of my progress notes for work and made a to-do list for my patients and a schedule of seeing patients for the next two weeks. How's that for energy? I might even start cleaning the apartment!

Plan for tomorrow? Chill around the house, read, do some shopping (I need a sports bra and some work-out pants), check out the local gym (seriously!) and clean some more. I might call my friend Dawn and see what she's doing. If I can get the apartment clean enough, I might invite someone over to hang out with me on Monday. I love that I have a three-day weekend but hate that Sam isn't here to spend it with me! I need to try to keep myself really busy this week so I won't get depressed thinking of Sam being at home hanging out with our friends and with our families and me being alone. Wish me luck!
