What I'm reading now, when the cat isn't using it as a pillow. I have a friend who asked me if I'd read Les Miserables, stating, "When I finished that book, I thought if I never read again, I have read". With a recommendation such as that, I decided to pick it up.

Although, I was a bit worried when a discussion of the most boring book you've ever read came up on an internet board, and the Waterloo Scene was brought up, as I was just about to start it. But, Thursday night, I zipped through that (finding it not at all boring) and am continuing my way through. I have only about 1000 more pages.

After that, I think I'll rent the DVD of the play, which I've never seen.

A Snowy Day

We woke up to snow yesterday, but it was a light dusting. We dressed warmly to attend church, but quickly outpaced the snow on our way there (much to my children’s disappointment) . Today, we had another bit, which added to yesterday’s bit equals a two hour snow delay for the kids. It’s beautiful to look at, and I like snow a lot. However, I’m also glad that it only happens a couple of times a year. I hear we will be in a snow pattern for the next few days, so we may have more beautiful and peaceful mornings here.
