Blissfully lazy Saturday

I woke up ridiculously early Saturday morning (due to night terrors) but decided to make a good day of it anyway. I went for a jog around 7am and explored some really pretty parts of my neighborhood I'd never been down before. (Today I'm feeling a little sore but I actually enjoy the feeling of slightly sore work-out muscles...too bad I don't enjoy the workout itself!)


Then I enjoyed an Orange Julius I'd made, did a little laundry, changed the water in my fish tank, then settled down to make the rest of the day lazy and relaxed.

I listened to Inkheart by Corneliua Funke on audio book read by Lynn Redgrave. I have recommended this book to five people and they all have hated it. I love it. And listening to it, I'm falling in love with it all over again. It lends itself very well to being read aloud, probably because it's mostly about reading books aloud.



I don't normally follow audio books very well, but with the combination of the excellent voice actor and me just sitting, sewing Ping Pongs, I'm following it very well. I got through 1/3 of the book and finished 5 Ping Pongs: The Bad Guy, 2 Sheep, Sprite, and a Cat. I'll post pictures of the whole troop when I'm finished.


(I just noticed the Ping Pong from whence the name "Ping Pong" derived is missing in this photo I stole off the Web. Froggy is not in it!)

A very satisfying weekend.

Loved Inkheart, hated the second one. I want to read the third one, Inkdeath, hoping it redeams itself.
