growyourwings | long weekend ramblings...

We've had a good 3-day weekend. Went to dinner at Mom's (Bob, Tim, Em, Alex, myself)--great food. Went to BBQ at Chris & Teri's (same group + Teri's mother & sister).

I got a bad cold Thursday-ish. Got really bad on Saturday/Sunday. But am taking the drugs (fake sudafed, etc.) I may be on the upswing from this *crosses fingers*.

Monday (today) is good. Feeling a little better. Plus listening to an audiobook I just got. Heard about it on last week's Macbreak Weekly. It's a biography of Dorothy Parker. I don't listen to a lot of audiobooks because I find my mind starts to wander and I lose track of the story. But this one is a combination of a well-written story, a fascinating person (whom I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't really heard of before), and a great narrator. I actually stopped my online reading because I was getting engrossed in the story (which is what was said on Macbreak Weekly.) The story/narrator just brings the feeling of the heydey of 1920s to life. I feel like I'm there.

Em and I started watching The Pickup Artist yesterday. Teri had recommended it. We're really enjoying it.
