I browsed Sundance catalog yesterday and LOVED this:
The Spring Fling Romantic Reads book collection! Exactly what I'm in the mood for, exactly what I'll be reading throughout my birthday month, hopefully outdoors in beautiful weather! What a great list! Love Story, Anna Karenina, Lady Chatterley's Lover, The End of the Affair, Lolita, Love in the Time of Cholera. I've always wanted to read some of these. Spent a good part of yesterday searching for used copies of some of these books online. Sure wish I could find a good used book store nearby!
I'm mostly anxious to dip into Pablo Neruda's Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. The title alone had me, and then I found this excerpt:
My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of
your body.
I go so far as to think that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains,
bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want
to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees.
-from "Every Day You Play"
I want these words to rain over me all month long! :)
Just a few more birthday wishes:
a horseback ride
host a spring tea party
eat Hummingbird cake
a little Sundancing
a really good hike
roller skating on the beach
road trip to Boise, or Moab
a big thunderstorm
rain boots

Deann, when I first saw that picture I thought, "WHAT? Deann has a bird decoration?" lol. Those are fun birthday wishes. I hope you get to have them come true!
oh and that was SO sweet of Chad to get you those dishes! I accidentally found my birthday present in the mail early this year too. Did I tell you? Dan is taking me to see Grease the musical in April with Taylor Hicks in it!
