lost in the pages

i've been reading a lot lately. in fact, today s. and i went on an excursion. to the, you guessed it, library. (or as it's affectionately called here, "het bib".)

their library is so high tech, i'm not even kidding. they have automated check out stations. which i love. really. you swipe your card, swipe your books, and away you go. and i know, it's not "high tech" per se, but it feels high tech to me. i got out three books: a kathy reichs (yes, again. i like her books, they make me happy), notes on a scandal by zoe heller, and the jane austen book club. i'm very excited. s., however, got a book about "meneer big en het wijde wereld" (which means "mr. pig and the wide world") which we are both rather excited about. we walked there, and when i went last night (to return my due books which i had forgotten about until then) it only took me about 20 minutes to get there and back, but with s. it took a little longer. oh well, at least he's a cutie.

also, i have had a social life lately. i've been out for coffee. and i visisted my church elder on sunday afternoon. i also maybe flirted mildy with his son, but he's a wee bit older than me so it was more to keep in practice. heh. (mama, are you worried yet?)

s. had monday and tuesday off this week, and he has all of next week off too, so it's gonna be busy. but we'll have fun. on tuesday he said he was sick, so he got fairly catered to, especially because he was running a mild fever. but he's all better.

also, i'll rebuild his lego castle soon, which will be a party as it got destroyed during his party and now i have to try to figure out how i managed the first time and duplicate it.

also, also, also... i need a new transition word. suggestions?
