Olivia Pressed on her Face and Passed Out


No kidding, a bird just flew into my window as I was trying to decide on a title. I heard a thunk and saw this very crooked bird start toward one of the trees in my side yard. I don't know what kind of bird. It was big enough to make a loud enough thunk to make me jump but not so big that is scared Mr. Simon the cat who is sleeping at the end of the bed.

Jeez, now I'm distracted.

I just wrote in The Quote Book with a flat pen. It is the kind of pen that you can clip to the page of a note book and close the book and it is flat and won't disrupt the pages at all. I have a whole set and they are very handy for the notebook bookmark but pen. The one in The Quote Book is pink and orange. I was remembering some that Olivia said yesterday that was definitely worthy of remembering.
A quote book is a neat idea for any group of friends. Liv has been wanting to start one since our freshman year of high school and we just got it started a few weeks ago. It is a neat memory keeper because you read one quote and it immediately reminds you of what you were doing, why, and then you laugh and laugh or in the case of sneaky incidents it makes you remember a very good time. We currently have thirty quotes. Magic that its an even number like that huh?

Katie gave me a bracelet that is actually a spoon just bent like a bracelet. I gave her a cow that when you press the button in its head it moos and its nose glows flashlight style.

I just finished reading East of Eden by Steinbeck. It is my second reading and while I enjoyed it the first time I really enjoyed it the second time. I find that I grasp stories and novels better when I have the opportunity to read them a second time. I have friends that are one read people but I benefit from two. And I was able to find time to do such, last semester. So if your a two read person, no worries! you can find time . . . or maybe make time is better but there is enough time.

Have a great one.
