Happy Weekend


Here's my wish list for the weekend:

*Visit Shoes at the kitty hospital (he's doing a little better.)

*Pick up a copy of the Saturday Wall Street Journal (I love the new Off-Duty section.)

*Attempt to make Nigella Lawson's Apple Syrup Upside-Down Pie.

*Read newly found thrift store copy of DH Lawrence's "The Fox."

*Catch up on Cathy Horyn's columns on the Paris Couture shows. (The Dior dresses made me want to weep.)

*Track down a copy of Annie Proulx's memoir, Bird Cloud, about her attempt to build her dream house on a 640-acre nature preserve by the North Platte River in Wyoming.

I'll probably end up just visiting Shoes and reading DH Lawrence, but it's nice to dream!

What are you doing this weekend?

DH Lawrence's Women in Love is one of m all-time favorites. And I'm glad the cat is doing better. Have a happy weekend.

I'm happy to read that Shoes Lebowski is doing better!
Love your weekend wish list! So much better (and more fun) than a "to do" list!

p.s. And by "to do" list, I mean the list of house chores I have "to do" this weekend! :)

I do the same thing, writing my self a long to-do list and then only completing one or two things.

Glad the kitty is better.

This weekend -- I am getting three rooms ready for new carpet.

Ick. I have so much junk.

I'm a big reader [and English major], but I have never read D. H. Lawrence except for some short stories.

I think I missed a lot in my education for having not read him.

You think?

i've been on a D.H. Lawrence binge lately...The Rainbow is my favorite. it's sweeter than his later works. It doesn't have the harsh undertones of Lady Chatterly, or the weird references of some of his final short stories...
