i'll post later about my trip to key west. the conference was great, and i hope to get pictures up from that too. the trip there was horrible, and i'm just now able to talk or write about it without getting horribly upset. (canceled flights and harrassment. aie!)
i spent last week moving to my new office. (yay!) this weekend we went to canton (imagine a garage sale/craft show that covers acres and acres), and i came back with lots and lots of vintage fabric and pillow cases...only to find out that when i rearranged my study this afternoon somehow i knocked the needle on my sewing machine askew. well, not the needle, but the whole part that holds the needle. time to look for a repair guide online, i guess. :/
anyway, life's been hectic and i've been reading instead of doing anything else. i've finished the da vinci code (see earlier post), the dante club (like shakespeare it took a while to get into the language, but it was a great book once i got a hold of the writing style), children of the storm (another great amelia peabody book), and the bourne identity (i finished that this weekend. wow. completely different and so much better than the movie!). i'm working on the winter queen - a russian murder mystery novel. it's good so far, and the translator even footnotes the bits that are in french or russian. bless him. :)
this last week in a nutshell. haven't touched the dulcimer or fiddle in a few weeks. i suppose i should play the fiddle tonight since i have a lesson tomorrow! :/

I'm seriously impressed with the amount of reading you've been doing! Wow! That's some serious damage!
Looking forward to seeing pics,
Andrea
