Sewing and Movies and Books

I have been hemming and ironing since noon. I watched Great
Balls of Fire while I sewed. The music made me want to get up and dance but it made my hateful chore go swiftly.

Laura left Eat Love Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert and I am really enjoying it. I had read Stern Men and thought it to be wonderful but I didn't realize she was the author. We went to town this morning and went by the library. I got a book called, "The Age of American Unreason" by Susan Jacoby, "Almost Noon" by Alice Seebold, Wild Nights by Joyce Carol Oates and "Souvenir" by Therese Fowler.
I have browsed a little in the Susan Jacoby book and I expected her to be a middle aged and dowdy historian. Wow was I ever mistaken. She is young and gorgeous. How did she ever get so smart so y oung? I was forty before I had a lick of sense.

Thank goodness there is nothing on the agenda tomorrow and I can get caught up reading blogs. See you then. Jeri

If rock and roll isn't fashionable, then we'll be unfashionable together, Jeri. I love it too. As for mending and hemming - I stuff mine in a pillowcase. I figure if I get enough saved up, I'll be able to stuff a mattress cover and won't need to buy another one. I guess if I gave up quilting, I'd find time to mend but that's just not gonna happen.

Glad to hear you were serious about that hemming. I always tell myself I'll take something up but never get around to it, so whatever I buy has to fit right out of the sack.

You remind me of the stack of unread books sitting a few feet away that I need to work on. Wish I wasn't such a slow reader.

I have a drawer full of Ed's stuff I have promised to mend --
seams and buttons and stuff. They have been there a while.
I tried to read Joyce Carol Oates but I couldn't find the plot
and she never got to the point. I will look for Susan Jacoby
next time I am at the library. I am always late to the
common sense party -- I think I was 60 before I "got" it.
I have just caught up on all the unread blogs I subscribe to
-- it took all week. So enjoy your laid back time, dear Jeri.
xx, T.

Glad you got through your ironing with some help from TV!
