Last day

Its been glorious, but it will all come to an end on Monday. On Monday, I start my job. I think it is going to work out really well since I will be working from home. It is the ideal situation!

The weather in East Tennessee is now more than perfect. It feels and smells like September, my birthday month. It's fabulous, and I want to spend every moment I can outside. We put the screens in the windows last night (they're the old style of windows that push out so you can't leave the screens in all the time).

If you haven't watched the most recent episode of Project Runway, stop reading now. -------- Okay. Can you believe they brought Angela and Vincent back? It was definitely good television, but it must have sucked for the other designers. Michael is so nice...did you see him helping Kayne? I'm so glad Laura won; I really liked her dress...especially the fringe at the bottom. Uli has long been one of my favorites, but like the judges, I want to see something different from her. I want to see something tailored and not so breezy. Jeff has some wacky, rock-star outfits, and I want to see him design something simple and sophisticated. I think all of the designers left are wonderful. Each has a unique style. Overall, I think Michael is the most versatile and probably deserves to win. I didn't watch the first two seasons, but didn't males win both of them? Oh well, may the best designer win!

I've had positive responses to the book club from five of my friends, one no, and one that I haven't heard back from (I don't think she checks her e-mail very often). Brad might join, and our total would be six. One of my friends is going to tell two of her other friends about it since she thinks they might be interested. So, today, I'm going to write out some general guidelines. Brad doesn't think I need to do that since everyone is a friend. I probably don't need to, but it'll be fun. Plus, I'm going to make the schedule rotation for choosing books. Since I am starting the club, I think I will choose the first book and kick off our discussions. After much deliberation, we are going to read A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. It's going to be awesome, and I am so looking forward to it!!!

I'm meeting My A for lunch. I'm going to go through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru before I pick her up. We'll eat in the car on our way to the used bookstore. We're both "enablers" for each other's weakness for books. Hey, at least I consider used books now. I used to be a book snob and only read new, unmarked books that were purchased at full price. This is what I call progress.
