Day 14 of 75 Days of Summer

I started and finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest on the beach last week (thanks S. for letting me take your copy and decorate it with suntan oil, lemonade and sand :) ). and i have to say - wow. this guy has got it going on and i can only hope his family and his life partner can come to some agreement to let us see what else he had planned for the series before he died.

I also read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith and it was fabulous too. very well stated and so resonate to our whole book club. we range in age from 30's to 60's and we all felt like it was talking to us.

this morning i sat quietly on the back porch with the boys and marina while the boys sighted (?) in their bows and shot targets. then i went to work today for a few hours and found myself reading my email, listening to podcasts, talking on the phone and reading from my clipboard of 'catch up reading' all at the same time... upon realizing this i hung up, sat the clipboard down, stopped the podcast and just finished the email. geesh work is so addictive. how quickly the beach tranquility was left behind. i vow to slow down this summer (after the next vacation) and learn to take this with me back in the fall.

i tried sushi Sunday for the first time. we were with some friends who i would never have guessed were fans of sushi when the topic came up. we sauntered over to the Kroger sushi bar and purchased a few items. then proceeded to picnic in the suburban with sushi. yumsters. however bub did not like and hubs said no way. plan on doing this the right way later this summer when we are all back in town.
