I’m back! Our online juices are flowing once again, thanks to the technician-with-brains from AllTel. Being without internet connection for six days has been, well, interesting… I’d love to say that I was a more productive person during the last week, but that’d be a lie because (dum da da dum!) we’ve got cable again! So I’ve been lazier than ever, enjoying the television trash that we’ve been without for several months now. My guiltiest pleasure? Dawson’s Creek reruns in the morning. Today Jack came out of the closet and Pacey had his English teacher fired — good stuff.
Life continues to roll right along with school starting soon for many of my friends, work at Zion picking up pace from a slow summer, and Halloween candy and costumes already being sold en masse from store shelves. But I will not yet admit that summer is over. Next weekend I head to a fantabulous weekend on a Minnesotan lake with great friends… After that I will concede to cooler temperatures (okay, not so much here in Nebraska — we tend to enjoy freakishly hot days in September), warm drinks and falling leaves. But today I leave you with a few Summer Favorites:
Beverage: diet cherry coke
Garden Vegetable: grape tomato
Movie in Theater: T3 (I haven’t gotten out much)
Movie on the Green: Wait Until Dark (the only one I saw!)
Book: a tie between Life of Pi and Bel Canto

yay! i loved life of pi. not so much a t3 fan, but…whatever. :)
if you want to have another cable show to be addicted to, and you get bravo, here you go: the west wing, every weekday at 11 a.m. (and 11 pm as well, i think). i can’t…stop…watching.

I’m glad you enjoyed Life of Pi! I (and bethany too, maybe) was introduced to that book at L’abri this year. I’m not sure if you were at that seminar.
I too have just broken my internet fasting. Apparently, my computer does not have the black bug virus like we thought; it quite simply is just broken. So i finally had a chance to catch up on things here on my g-ma’s computer.

i’m hoping to do a book club with life of pi, maybe with the girls next door. i read it so fast that i’m sure a second reading would be good.
any other book recs, ladies?

peace like a river, definitely. maybe the lovely bones (…it’s one i read so fast i hardly remember)

the concept of the lovely bones kind of freaked me out, but perhaps i’ll give it a whirl. peace like a river was excellent. waiting for girl meets God — you’re reading that one, b?
