five not trash books down

finished Bellefleur last night.  now I've got a Smithsonian and a Wilson Quarterly to read before more books. and rehearsals for Great Gatsby start Monday, so things may get a little slow.

mom asks

what would I recommend from my 2013 reading list?

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
The Glass Castle
The Light Between Oceans
The Small Rain
The Corrections
Cold Mountain
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
The Art of Racing in the Rain
The Ugly American
and to make an even ten - The Fault in our Stars.

Happy New Year!

will I post more or not? probably not. i'm hoping to read even more this year, but we'll see of course. Starting off the year with The Girl You Left Behind. and I did not make it through the pile that I started out with last year. oh well. 

also starting off the new year sick, thought maybe flu but now I'm thinking just respiratory gunk, I'm not as achy today as I was yesterday.  RTO is taking good care of me.

gonna audition for The Great Gatsby at GCT this weekend, hopefully I'm feeling even better by then. I read gatsby in hs, but really don't remember much about it, I forget a lot of the things I read.

Then there's our health insurance discount physical fitness challenge.  I signed up for it today, but it doesn't start til February.  I have to log 150 minutes a week.  although I was telling RTO I thought it was funny they were requiring doctor signed forms for the health survey/ coaching option, but the fitness challenge is self reporting. um, yeah, I exercised this week. ;D

and I'm already behind on my line a day journal. ;P
