Tomorrow is May Day. May First. Labor Day (for us Europeans) and a day off. It’s the first day of the FIFTH month of the year. How does that even happen? I mean how does it happen so FAST?<\/p>\n
The sun has finally decided, after a long sulking morning, to come out and play…though there are still an awful lot of white blobs bumbling around up there. It’s still quite chilly and I suppose my hopes that it would warm up a bit so I don’t have to sit outside and freeze tonight by the bonfire (I know, but you DO freeze…on one side) are dashed.<\/p>\n
I had a phone call today that made me really happy. My friend Camilla, you know the one who lives in Poland and only comes home twice, maybe three times a year? She quit her job! And moved back to Sweden! Yay! Now I get to see her whenever I want to! (until she moves again, which she will, but we’ll be sad about that when the time comes)<\/p>\n
Karin just told me that I’m scaring her with how fast I’m typing. She doesn’t see all the mistakes I make and have to back up and re-type, but still, yes, I am a fast typer. I type over 90 words a minute or so. I used to play Typershark for fun. Typing fun. How nerdy is that? I took typing class in 9th grade and I still maintain that it was one of the best things I ever did. Anyone who works with words in ANY way should take a typing class. It just makes things so much more efficient and speedier when one can type quickly. I don’t know if they even offer it in schools anymore, but if they don’t, it’s a pity. I don’t think it’s on the curriculum here at all.<\/p>\n
I bought a whole pile of books the other day and that makes me happy too, especially since a couple of them were ones I’ve been waiting for forever (to come out in paperback, that is) and one I didn’t even know existed, by a favorite author. How I will be able to put them down and read the bookgroup book, I don’t know. I love reading. Love love love it.<\/p>\n
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go boil and devil eggs, because what’s a freezing cold picnic\/bonfire grill evening without deviled eggs?! <\/p>\n
A very good day so far, and tomorrow? Even better! Sleeping in, reading, going through magazines, starting Season 1 of Downton Abbey, and relaxing. How will you spend YOUR May Day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
