MERCY premieres tonight (Wednesday, September 23rd @ 8pm on NBC) if you’re home and looking for something to watch. One of the reasons I haven’t been able to update the blog as often as I’d like is because we’ve been in the storyline trenches. I hope it pays off and I hope you enjoy the show.
In other news, the Crown Prince and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary last weekend in Palm Springs. We invited four other couples to spend the weekend with us and we had a great time.
That’s the view we were greeted with and it chilled everyone out immediately. Just a great time with some old friends. Not sure we will do this every year but every five might be nice.
Also, here is a very cool BLOG for you to check out. Just in case you need something else to read while you’re avoiding working, writing, dealing with the kids.
Alright, so I officially joined the KINDLE DX family. CP came thru with the awesome anniversary gifts this year and the Kindle was one of them. I loaded six books on the first night (Walter Mosley, James Lee Burke, Robert Greenfield, Kay Redfield Jamison, Margaret Atwood and Dan Chaon) and I know there are plenty more to come.
Finished Lorrie Moore’s A GATE AT THE STAIRS and just didn’t love it. I wanted to but I never warmed to the protagonist. I understood that she was supposed to be an aimless college student but she was aimless and unfocused to the point of disappearing. Couldn’t stand her and the adoptive parents she worked for managed to be even worse. Sarah Weinman, over at Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, highly recommended THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE this summer so I picked it up. Loved it. CROW PLANET: ESSENTIAL WISDOM THE URBAN WILDERNESS is proving to be a good read. There’s more, of course, there always is but I am done for the night. Promise to get back here sooner rather than later. Until then here’s another shot of that gorgeous desert landscape.
Oh, wait, one more thing, JACQUELINE E. LUCKETT, author of the upcoming, SEARCHING FOR TINA TURNER, has a new BLOG. You can also become a FAN on Facebook and you can follow her on TWITTER.
Lastly, did anyone see THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE? Anna Wintour has fascinated me for years but I have to tell you, GRACE CODDINGTON stole the show. Made me realize that it’s her artistry that I actually love in the magazine. Watching her in action made me want to run out and buy her book then I saw the price tag. $700.00! Guess I’ll just keep collecting my old issues.
Until next time…
