It is soooo sunny out today! I'll bet it's freezing cold (haven't been out yet) - but I am LOVING the sun streaming in the windows.
Any online crossword players out there? I LOVE this site, if you're looking for a way to spend a free 20 minutes.
If you are in a more thoughtful mood, and haven't yet read Butterfly's Girl's January 29 post, "Paths," it is definitely worth the read.
Or you can participate in this meme with me. (What's a meme? I'm still not sure, but here's an explanation that may or may not help.)
The instructions are:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open it at page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence/ phrase.
4. Blog the next four sentences/ phrases together with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig your shelves for that very special or intellectual book.
6. Pass it forward to six friends.
I'm not passing it forward - do it if you want, on your blog - but I'll do the first 5 instructions. Hey, I wonder if anyone can guess what the book is?! (Check here for the title; it would appear that no one else likes this book - there's not even an image! No reviews. Only a title. So sad.)
OK...opening to page 123...
Finding the fifth sentence...
And the next four sentences are ...
"Apparent confirmation that there was no intention of a wedding in Berlin came when on Sunday, September 23, Michael and Natasha left the Esplanade and, repeating the pattern of the year before, took the train once more to Bad Kissingen. The Okhrana duly followed and at the end of that first week in Bad Kissingen Bint reported that Natasha had been admitted for treatment at Dr Apolant's sanatorium. Michael went with her, drinking the water and taking baths as he jovially noted on a postcard to his brother. It was three weeks later before the bored Okhrana needed to stir themselves again, when they discovered that Natasha had been discharged by the sanatorium and that the Grand Duke was on the move once more."
Wow. Taken out of context like that, it sounds like a paparazzi style tracking of Britney Spears or something. I assure you, it is not!!
Hey - Have a great day, my friends!
