several times a week after the boys go down, i soak in a warm bath with a good book.
this is probably not the best thing for my skin even when i put moisturizing tablets in the tub and slather lotion on afterwards,
but i don't really care because it feels so fabulous.
often i'll light a great smelling lemon sage bath candle a girlfriend bought me (from west elm) for my birthday last year and it just adds to the ambience. with my crazy days, i need this to unwind and destress after long days. for 20-30 minutes i feel like i'm in heaven.
last night's indulgence brought me closer to the end of my latest book - julie and julia.
it was loaned to me by my s-i-l shannon while we were in utah. it's light-hearted, a little crude at times,
but an easy and fun read. as expected there are *lots* of references to french dishes.
since i can't speak or read a word of french except for 'bonjour', i just skim over those words. *grin*
my next book is going to be the lovely bones, a book most everyone i know has already read,
but somehow i never got to. my niece maddy brought it up when we were chatting about our current reads and she couldn't say enough good things about it. i was convinced it was time to read it and now i can't wait to get my hands on it. i've heard they've made a movie based on the book.
i'd like to see it, but only after i read the book.
