Finally A New Post!

I've been lazy the last few weeks and haven't posted anything. During the week, I usually don't get on the computer at home since I use the computer all day at work. So, the weekend is the best opportunity to post. The past few weeks have been busy, although nothing extraordinary. Work is going well. It's finally slowed down since the summer associates are gone. Who would've thought that a job could be busiest in the summertime...

Scott and I have been spending a lot of time staining our deck. It's taking far too much time to do this. Especially since we only work on it Saturdays. Snowbird is doing well. He had his first vet appointment yesterday. The vet thought he was in perfect health and complimented me on getting such a fabulous dog. He's become quite attached to me. He whines when I leave - even if Scott is still with him. Yesterday he saw me in the backyward while he was inside with Scott and got quite upset that he couldn't be out there with me. I find it very flattering.

I've been doing lots of reading in the past few weeks. I finished re-reading the Harry Potter series. I loved the books even more this time than I have before...probably since I read them all at once. I also read a cute book about the history of American Chinese food called the Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8. Lee (really, an 8!), All the Way Home by David Giffels (about a family who bought and remodeled a condemned house), My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger (a well-written coming-of-age story). I'm currently reading a fabulous book called the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It's an epistolary novel - written entirely in letters - about a group of people from Guernsey, one of the Channel islands between England and France which was the only part of Britain occupied during WWII.

And of course, I've been cooking too. I will work on getting my recent recipes and photos up later today.
