Better days

Like my good friend advised, an hour at a time. Feelings and thoughts come flooding through every now and then, and that's OK. As I've already shared with some of you, I won't have my results until the end of June, so I don't see why I should live my days worried till then. Seeing how school will be out for next week, I've got lots of time with my kids to look forward to, as well as a family vacation June 9th. We'll be going to Punta Cana, DR. So, I'm concentrating my thoughts on all this good stuff, while still acknowledging my fears and worries -just not letting them get the best of me.

With that said, here are some of the things I'm planning to do this summer, besides the mentioned vacation, of course. I'm planning on reading 2 books per month (which was part of my resolutions for this year anyway), and while I AM reading, I'm not finishing ALL my reads. I was reading Moll Flanders, which I hoped to finish before the end of April, and I'm still not done. Began reading Pride and Prejudice and just can't bring myself to even look at the book from afar. Ugh. I might very well give up on it. I have 3 books I read with my kids, which I actually enjoy not rushing through.

There are also two classics up on my list which I can't wait to dive into, The Awakening by Kate Chopin, and The Woman in White by Wilke Collins. I'm still not sure which book(s) I'll be taking with me on our vacation. And I best not forget my knitting books. Yes, I have several already, and they are a real joy to read and look over such beautiful images.

I'm brushing up on The Da Vinci Code (Illustrated version) before I go watch the movie (taking a cue from my friend Man About Town). And oh, movies! I can't wait to see X-Men 3, Over the Hedge, Hoot, Poseidon, Superman Returns, and a couple other flicks. ;)

Now that I've shared a few of my plans, it's your turn. What are your plans for summer? What books will you be reading? Will you be taking any trips?

I went to the doctors office because I found a lump on my breast. He found two.

Could be nothing. Here's hoping.

Otherwise, I've been keeping myself busy offline, reading, knitting, ripping back, knitting some more, painting, walking, and planting trees.
