One Woman, One Year, 200 Books
I got a lot of reading Saturday morning before doing the girly shopping thing with my friend Kayla.
I finished the last of the four R.K. Narayan novels I had been reading (all highly recommended!) and got started on the complete works of Kahlil Gibran. I think I need a little weed to help me fully [...]
Friday was a busy and strange day. We spent the morning and early afternoon out at Jared’s shop. We have talked about doing this a couple of times but the circumstances are never just right. Of course most of the time the shop is full of busy men working on building shutters and I’m leary [...]
We joined Jared out at his shop today. Thanksgiving was a long tiring day because Luc was really fussy out at my in-laws. For some reason he wouldn’t settle down and it made it hard to relax and enjoy the holiday. So we decided to try spending the day at the shop and see if [...]

I’m off to the bank this morning to deposit a big fat check. How big you ask? Well big enough that I can get current on my bills, that’s how big. We sold the last of the books. We finalized [...]
I don’t have a huge post today but I do have exciting news. Jared (my husband) is a nominee for Man of the Year over at The Art of Manliness. I know you all trust me so believe me when I say he deserves this honor. Please go and vote for him HERE. This is [...]
I really don’t have much to post about despite skipping out on the blog yesterday. I’ve read a little, but both Friday and Saturday were short, busy days. I’m still working on selling the books, and that’s taking multiple showings, answering tons of questions and easing worried buyers. I know it’s a big purchase though, [...]
See how obedient I am. Here are the requested pictures. (Thanks to Aimee for having a camera)

Thank you for participating. Amy, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve read it a dozen times and could do so a dozen more. If anyone starts talking about the movie, [...]
