How was everyone's weekend? Did you survive the rapture? :) I got to up to lots of fun things this weekend. The Bay Area hosted the Maker Faire this weekend which a fun, nerdy fest full of inspiration so we went and checked it out on Saturday and it was very cool! Saturday night a friend and I went to the Kylie Minogue concert - freaking awesome as always!! Sunday, I needed to relax so I treated myself to a massage. Why don't I go get those more often?! Ahhh ...
Now, it's Monday again. Remember how I was going to try to reduce the amount in my mailbox? I failed this week! But there's always next week :)

ReplyDeleteMy Dear I Wanted To Tell You is new to me and sounds interesting. It might be a new one for my wish list. I seem to fail at reducing the amount of books coming in here too. I guess it's a good thing to fail at!
ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox books! Tolstoy and the Purple Chair was in mine last week - sounds good, doesn't it?
