Life: What a week!  My coffee woes are over.  For the past few weeks I have not been drinking my usual Sumatra Telong Organic, Fair Trade coffee and  I was dearly missing the smooth taste of it.  I did not go without coffee, just without my beloved coffee, substituting whatever fairly traded, organic coffee I could find near my house.  I am happy to say this week 20 pounds of coffee arrived.  I have been happy ever since.  I take my coffee very seriously and I buy in bulk.   On Friday my new bed was delivered.  I now have a sleigh bed, matching nightstands and a brand new pillow top mattress.   This may not prove exciting to many but for my husband and me it marks our first real bed and nightstands.  Out mattress was 19 years old and in dire need of replacement.  I slept very well Friday night.

Family Update: I have either done something ingenious or very foolish, the update will be next Sunday.  I decided to schedule two college tours and interviews for the same day.  My logic?  They are sort of near each other.  The tricky bit will be getting my son from one interview to the other in time.  If the roads are good, weather, directions it can be done in which case this will prove to be a brilliant plan of mine.  If not, we will have wasted a lot of time and will need to reschedule the second interview potentially casting a not so wonderful light on my son’s application.   Tune in next week.

Saturday Night: Fabulous evening with friends and my guys watching a wonderful French film.  After the guys went to bed DH and I watched The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.  It was wonderful to be able to practise my foreign languages.

Read and Reviewed: I accomplished more reading than I thought this past week.  I had planned to read more, yet I am content with the 11 books I read which totaled 4,080 pages.  I read some truly spectacular books this past week, several I would without reservation recommend. Do not want to wait until Monday to see the entire list? They are all up and as usual I love comments.

So what will I be reading? I am reading  Learning To Lose by David Trueba.

Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.
