Because I pretty much want to curl up with my favorite blanket and a good book.

It's been raining all day long.

Isn't it beautiful?!

I so wish I could curl up in my favorite blanket and read one of the gajillion many books I am yearning to read.

Instead, I've been at the kitchen table all. day. long. doing schoolwork. Although I have gotten a lot done today. And the view has been really pretty, with the rain and all.

But I'd much rather be reading something for fun instead of for my Brit Lit midterm that is next week (eeek!). Although I must admit, the reading hasn't been too bad. It would be even better if I really didn't have to remember anything, unless I really wanted to. 

I get to watch Amazing Grace this week for my Brit Lit class. I love that movie, so that will be fun! Maybe it will rain that day (I have that assignment scheduled for Wednesday), and I can curl up with a blanket then. I'm sure I'll have two little girls right there with me because they love my blanket.

Yes, it's been one of those days...a blanket and a good book and a soup for dinner kind of day.

That's why this is simmering on the stove for dinner:

And, I'm in week 4 of the 14 weeks of Crazy Semester #1. 10(!) more weeks to go, almost to single digits! And it's going pretty great. Crazy busy, but great. And it's going a lot faster than I thought it would.

Woohoo! :o)
