But nothing is new.
Well, I am working at the temple in Oakland now a few Saturdays a month. I did that for about 6 hours on Saturday. And shockingly, I saw people I knew. And maybe it was a little awkward with one of them. And maybe I will only tell you that story if you ask me about it.
I finally finished a book that I'd been reading for over a month - A Prayer for Owen Meany. If you are looking for a good story, this is your book. It took me a while and although I was tired of reading the same book for so long, I was intrigued by the characters and didn't get tired of it. Apparently the movie Simon Birch was loosely based on this book. I want to see it, but I'm sure I'll be disappointed. I usually am by movies. Books are always better; don't you think? I'm moving on to a few shorter books to make myself feel better about my reading speed for a week or two.
This weekend's highlight was eating homemade pizza and nutella gelato in Alameda with Rachael's friends last night. And maybe all the time that I spent laying in bed reading. And all the time I spent watching my favorite trashy show, The Millionaire Matchmaker. I really am addicted. Judge me if you must. I could use a few more weekends like this last one - getting enough sleep and reading to my heart's content. One thing I can count on though - not having any more of those weekends for the next few months.
Happy Monday.

Oh Steph I love you! I had to catch up on your blog and I was dying laughing when you admitted to the Millionaire Matchmaker.. I actually watched that last night for the first time and loved it. It was a-mazing. Anyway, if you ever need an accomplice in watching... I'm yours! Glad you are enjoying life. Let's catch up soon.
