i love fridays. it's one of my favorite days of the week.  it's not too often i wake up grumpy on a friday.  the possibilities of the weekend seem endless.  too bad my hubs is going to be in school all weekend which means lots of driving for this momma.  we hit up the library yesterday to prepare for our trips in the car.  lots of music cd's, kids audio books and other goodies to bring in the car.  and for mom....my knitting of course :)  it's going to be a long one but i still get to go out on sat night so all is good.

last week i managed to get some time to read and boy did it sure feel good to just lose myself in a good book.  i worked in bookstores for a big part of my pre-child life and am a huge book lover.  after spending so much time working behind the scenes in bookstores and getting to order titles, read advances, head up multiple book clubs, attend author readings etc it's always a pure joy to me to snuggle up with a good book and by book i mean a real book...you know...the one with a cover and pages in it..lol.  there's something so wonderful about the smell of a real book and i love my collection of classics on my shelf that i've found in little secondhand shops all over the place that i couldn't imagine them all being replaced by a file in an e-reader.  there is a real art in book binding. now don't get me wrong...i'm not saying e-readers are bad..not at all...i'm just sayin that for me it would be a hard leap to make.  i love independent bookstores so much and can't imagine the possibilities of them not existing.  it makes my heart break a little.  anyways...i digress...lol.  bottom line...i'm reading a juicy one and cannot wait to get to the end this weekend.

what are you all up to?  any fun plans?  what are you going to be busy crafting?  i'm working on my fat quarter gang tutorial that is coming up...can't wait to show you all!  pull up a seat...your cuppa jo is already poured for ya....let's chat!
