Updates on Life
School: I start my TA training Aug 12th. I am excited of course but also a little overwhelmed. I need a babysitter for the 12th – 21st and haven’t a clue what to do. My actual school schedule is coming together nicely though. Also, I saved books from an undergrad course that I will be using this fall saving me $50 or more!
Wedding: Quinn’s wedding plans continue apace. We are now less than a month away and the bad dreams are starting. Last night I dreamed that the wedding was today and I didn’t have a single bite of food prepared.
House: We are getting the library plans finalized. When Quinn moves out, the boys will move upstairs and their bedroom will become a library with shelves lining all walls and a desk built into the closet space. I am beyond excited aobut this. All of my books will soon be alphabetized!!!
Me: I am doing a presentation at an event called Ignite Boise 2 two days before Quinn’s wedding. My presentation will be on my 200 books project, will be only five minutes long and will be in front of 750 people. All the tickets are already sold out but a video of my presentation will be available online after the event.
Reading: I am perusing The Collected Letters of CS Lewis Vol 3 for the third or fourth time. I find them to be very motivating and infomative. I am also just finishing up Boethius and getting started on Capote’s In Cold Blood. Soon I will start pre-reading books for school including: Malory, History of the Kings of Britain, Chretien De Troyes’ Complete Romances and The Mabinogion. It will be my second reading for each of them.

I read “In Cold Blood” last year. It kinda freaked me out, like it was supposed to.
