Leap Day

There's something really special about a day that only comes around once every 4 years. At least there should be. Today was my day off, so I spent as much time as possible in bed - then got up and read. In my pj's...

Reading makes me so tired anymore. Soon I was cross-eyed, and nodding, so I laid down and had a nap.

Tough day.

I'm trying to finish my little tea shop mystery, because earlier this week the newest Josi Killpack culinary mystery arrived at my door.
I entered a contest to name her next book a couple of months ago. I didn't win, but they decided to send everyone who entered a copy of the newest release, which shouldn't actually be out until tomorrow.
I've been pretty happy about that, but I didn't realize it would be hand-delivered to my house! Can't wait to dive in.

The only bad thing is, that I tear through these so fast, then end up wanting more and the next one doesn't come out until (November?)...anyway, it's a while.

My reading keeps me going.

Spent this evening visiting some ladies in my neighborhood.
I love the ladies we visit (my neighbor and I.) They're all good people who have lived here as long as we have and know our families etc. It's nice to be able to share that kind of history with folks.

Speaking of history - I have a High School reunion coming up this year.
I've never been to one, but now that a bunch of them are on Facebook, will I be expected to?
I have issues with that, not only because of how I look, but because I'm still dull as dishwater in person. I'm not sure I can handle the expectations...

I actually dreamed about the event the other night - it was strange. No one had aged much (except me, of course,) and I had such a hard time keeping up with them all - playing silly games, running up & down stairs, etc.
I had such a hard time recalling names too, but I remembered every face, and was so glad to see them all.
Kind of how I have felt about seeing them assemble on Facebook (but the other way around - the names I know, the faces not so much anymore.)

Life is interesting, always changing...

I heard today that Davey Jones passed away.
Sad day - king of the Monkees, and one of my first teen crushes, dead at 66 from a heart attack.
