Life: Taking in account the tragic events occurring in Japan, my week was in retrospect pleasant.   It rained all week and I ended up quite ill and spent most of the week and the weekend in bed.  Not exactly how I hoped things would turn out this past week and then I discovered we had to set our clocks ahead, I am not a morning person to begin with, losing an hour is quite unpleasant.  However, the sun is now shining, the crocuses are in full bloom and the tulips have grown at a rapid rate and I no longer think my lungs will burst when I cough.

Family Update: Oldest son is thrilled with his college choice and is looking forward to visiting the campus again in a few weeks.  The twins are well and beginning to plan their college visits.  DH has been fighting a bad cold and I am trying to recover.  The guys have been very helpful running errands, cleaning, cooking, and are thrilled they no longer have to help quite so much.

Saturday Night: If you have read this far, you know I have been ill so I spent the evening in bed.  The guys indulged me and allowed me to choose the movies.  I can neither taste nor smell, but spicy Pad Thai does seem to help so we had a Thai food fest with the movies.

Read and Reviewed: I managed to read and review 11 books (I know, I am shocked as well).    If you do not want to wait until Monday to see the entire list for the week, all my reviews are up and as usual I love comments.

Today I will be reading: (if I am able to stay awake) Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell (yes I have been trying to read this for weeks.)

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