This Week…
23 July , 2007
Books: Sigh… I would like to say I have read and read and read. I haven’t so I can’t. I can tell you about the pile of overdue mpstly unread library books I have been receiving letters from my local library about…
Mr Pip… read 5 pages. Looks good.
That fairy book I wrote about before (sorry it’s late and the Milkman is asleep – don’t want to disturb him by looking for books)… read 4 chapters… excellent.
The Book Thief… nil pages, but the cover is really interesting (I can’t believe I wrote that!) and the blurb on the back was promising.
Planning a trip to the library tomorrow to return aforementioned unread books. Not planning on borrowing anymore- but I know I will. Poor little library books. They come home to make my bookshelf look full for a week or two,that is all.
It’s the payoff – If I read I don’t have time to write….
Writing: One half of a fractured fairy tale. I have a number of endings in my head – may have to write them all and get the least popular one voted off. I wonder if Gretel Killeen will host? ( She actually writes very funny children’s stories.)
Stuff and Things: My Raven ATCs are coming along. Recipients will beable to use them as door stops, draught excluders or paperweights due to my step by step how not to do things method. hmmm. They may be indistinguishable from my barely edible pikelets! Soccer Star and Little Blue are very sweet and eat them all up. Accounts for all the jam being used up so quickly.
I have had fun making little envelopes for my ATCs.
My dearest friend Miss A came over for our weekly pizza and movie night. We watched Deja Vu with the rather tasty and talented Denzel W. Interesting story…time travel and the associated questions about going back and changing the past. Brought back memories of Michael J.Fox and the DeLorean and Christopher Lloyd talking about time paradoxes….This new movie explored the idea of wormholes and parallel universes. I tried to understand it after the movie finished but my brain started to hurt….doesn’t take much!
This Wednesday is Little Blue’s first birthday! He had visits from all his Grandparents last week and has been receiving presents for the past month. Next year we will save them all up for his birthday! He took one unassisted step for the Milkman this evening…will he walk for his birthday???? Find out next week!
I will be having a glass of something nice to congratulate myself on a job well done….haven’t left him on the bus yet.
This is a great idea to organize your time– write it all down and see where you’re at. You’ve inspired me to do the same. L.
I like the weekly update, it gives us a chance to sit down with you and take stock of the past week. Any plans on adding “goals” for the upcoming week? I like to make to-do lists cuz it’s so much fun to check things off
Keep up the weeklies, hon…
Like Mari and Lori I am really enjoying the weekly update and do think I will try to do something similar. I just have to organise myself and rethink which blog to use. Billabong dreaming is possibly the one I should use. Yes! That is the way to go. Thanks Chefleur!
Mari,
If I added goals to this they would end up like my poor library books! I would have to call it something like Things I Haven’t Done Yet….Maybe I will…. but I’m not putting the laundry or dishes on that list!
Glad to be of inspiration to you all!
[...] I’m in a creative slump. I like what one of my e-colleagues from the Soul Food Cafe does. Chefleur writes a weekly journal entry discussing what she’s doing creatively. What a good [...]
Fun to read!
