Over the moon

I'm tired, but content.
I've got great kids, a wonderful husband, good food to eat and a book to keep me up late at night. What more could a gal want?

Recent reads include:
Evelina, by Fanny Burney (I think this is one of my favourite novels.)
Cecelia, also by F. Burney (You know how sometimes you get to the end of a great book and wish it would continue? Well this is what it would be like if it did. It continues. And continues. For almost 1000 pages. Took me almost a week to get through!)
The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz. Interesting. I'm still only 1/2 way through, but already I can see the wisdom of being satisfied with "good enough" for things that really don't matter.
My Family and Other Animals, by Gerald Durrell. I picked this up at Value Village and found myself laughing out loud at several of his stories. Grabbed another of his from the library and was disappointed to find it contained more 'adult content'. Oh well.
