i am now reading 'anna karenina'
72 pages in and still no Anna. but anyway, this is about Kitty.
"Going upstairs to dress for the evening and glancing into the looking glass, she was pleased to see that this was one of her best days. She was in full possession of all her powers, which was so necessary for what was going to happen; she had a feeling of outward serenity; she felt that her movements were free and graceful.'
The man shows up.
"'This is it,' thought Kitty, and the blood rushed to her heart. She was horrified at her pallor as she glanced into the looking glass."

i'm still on page 15
I'm on page 196, but I have been since before Deathly Hallows was released. ;) And I don't have immediate plans for continuing it... (it's just so long!!)
But I liked the stuff with Kitty at the beginning. :)
i started on sat. i love hp and all, but it's a nice change of pace (it's slower, but it's nice to be reading a classic [and yes, chelley, i'm sure hp will someday be a classic, but you know what i mean].)
i like seeing in these old books just how girl girls are.
but how annoying that we probalby all have different editions so we don't actually know where each other are
you can see what my edition looks like if you go to my facebook page :)
i'm hungry
we have mn twins ice cream
we don't yet. we have to finish the vanilla first. i should go work on that.
the ice cream was 3/$10, and then we had the $2 off coupons, so it was $1.33 for 1/2 gallon. it seemed like a good time to buy it.
What flavor is Minnesota Twins ice cream? And can I just say that I've never bought Harry Potter ice cream? Or any other food product with any of the Harry Potter characters on it? ;)
we got vanilla with fudge swirl and chocolate with chocolate bits (or something like that)
i probably wouldn't have bought it without the coupons
Hmm... eating Harry Potter... products, that is. ;-)
I've SO been meaning to start Anna Karenina! I've had it on audio CDs for over a year, but haven't yet cuz it's so darn long. And now i'm not looking forward to it anymore b/c of y'all's comments. Except for the beginning with Kitty. She sounds cool. I finished "The Prince and the Pauper" last night. Gonna go blog about that now.
yay! emlinda's back!
you're not looking forward to it? it's good! (just long - but it gets shorter as you read more ;) )
i'm on 122. but i am now determined to get ahead of chelleybutton. so there!
That might not be too hard to do, seeing as I also checked out 3 more Series of Unfortunate Events books and Confessions of a Shopaholic. (Plus, I'm on page 190 of Deathly Hallows again, and have been on the 2nd chapter of The Last Battle for a while:))
i do that too
sometimes we share the same brain, mel ;)
that explains why i'm such a scatter-brain! didder and i only have one between us, and if you and i are sometimes sharing, i only ever have 25% of a brain, and the rest is scattered all over!
and mine's scattered too, so if you're EVER sharing with me, it's scattered ;)
(so basically, you're in bad shape;)
i'm now on page 202, but of course chelley had to show me up and be on page 278. :P brat.
ha-ha! (that's supposed to sound like a taunt, btw, like nelson on the simpsons;) ...but I told Mel we should compete like that with our daily devotions too:
Me: "I did my devotions 2 days in a row!"
Mel: "Oh, yeah? Well, I did mine 5 days in a row!"
(hey, whatever works;)
bring it on!
:D
on page 335 now :) ...and probably will be for a few days, so now's your chance to surpass me!
:P
how's being back at work going? (*malicious look*)
:P
