Well, let me start off by saying that I had a great weekend. It was just a very busy one. Friday, I cleaned the house and went to Costco and the market. Saturday, I went to an all day crop and scrapbooked until about 8 pm. It was a lot of fun, but I don't know if I'm going to keep doing this. It's not something I do all the time, I can't even remember the last time I went to one. I really did have fun, and I like reconnecting with people that I haven't seen in a while, but I have so much stuff! It takes me a long time to figure out what I want to bring, pack it up, and get it in and out of the car. By the end of the day yesterday, I was pooped out. I did manage to get 12 pages done though. It is just so much work to get to that point, you know what I mean?
Today we had bookclub here. So, after I woke up, I started in on getting ready for it. I made a great salad that I found on FoodTV, here it is: Pecos Chicken Salad. I did not make the tomatillo vinaigrette, I was lazy and used this dressing, which I think went very well, and I didn't have to clean the blender. I found it at our local Vons, I used the Rich Santa Fe Blend. I highly recommend it. Everyone liked it, which is more than I can say for my book selection, One Hundred Years of Solitude. Out of six of us, two like it. My mom loved it. I liked it a lot, everyone else found it to be too weird. Does this mean that my mom and I are weird? I don't think so. The book is totally unconventional, and very imaginative. To me, the things that he wrote about that happened in the mythical town of Macondo, to the Buendia family, just made sense. I enjoyed it. Is it odd? Yes. Is it magical? Yes. Does this review help? Probably not. It's not exactly an easy book to explain, and I'm just going to leave it at that.
