I probably haven't mentioned it but my Wednesday nights have become more complicated. I have the dance group as usual but for the past three weeks, a family counseling group was added and two weeks ago, the day of the alumni thing, there is also play rehearsals but that should be over at the end of the month.
While all this was going on, I finished a book. Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper is book one of the Dark is Rising sequence. Overall, I liked it very much. Given that this book was written less than a decade after the Narnia series by another Brit, I wasn't too surprised at the similarity in the writing. There were a couple confusing scenes such as Barney being captured and then, suddenly, he had an out-of-body experience and then was physically with his siblings and safe...Also, there really wasn't enough fantasy elements in it for me but as a piece of YA fiction, I did like it.
Last night, I went to an "art-sharing event" at my church. It was a small group and most of the sharing was done by the kids which I enjoyed the piano pieces and the five year old singing in Chinese. A couple of our older ladies sang a spoof on "My Favorite Things" with old people overtones which was probably the best part of night. (Except for the brownie sundaes, of course...) I won't say what I did because I'm sure you're tired of me going on and on about it...
