The bad news is that I didn't post anything since the last Monday Post.
I have so much to blog about right now that I have a really good feeling about this week and I believe it is going to be a multiple post week! So check back this week for: The Good Daughters book review, A Toronto Adventure, End of the Month Post, and Garage Sales! Exciting stuff coming up, eh?
On to the Monday Post!!
An Awesome Thing:
This week's Awesome Thing is actually something that I have been talking about recently, so it was an Awesome Thing to find it on the list! So two Awesome Things in one posting, it doesn't get any better than this!
#962 Being the guy on the construction crew who gets to hold the Stop sign
If I was ever to join a construction crew this would be my job. However, I would settle for driving the enormous steamroller, as that would also be pretty awesome! When ever I see someone with this awesome job I think about this one lucky construction worker that stopped my mom and me for about fifteen minutes while some work was being done. I cannot remember exactly what was talked about, but this guy was so friendly and full of energy and smiles. I do remember thinking that he had a wonderful outlook on life if he was so chipper despite having to hold the Stop sign in blazing heat all day long. This guy and his job are both awesome!
Book Updates:
I finished The Good Daughters by Joyce Maynard and am currently in the middle of Bedtime Story by Robert J. Wieserma. I will publish my review for The Good Daughters sometime this week. I will say now that I very much enjoyed the book and will recommend it to most people. As much as I did enjoy The Good Daughters, I am loving Bedtime Story! I can't seem to put it down! I am up late reading it and try to find time during the day to read more. As long as the plot keeps moving in the direction it is currently moving it, this book has the potential to be a very good book.
I was on goodreads yesterday (I highly recommend this site for any book lover) and noticed the book club is featuring A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. As the title was so fantastic, I decided to read a little bit about the book and reserved a copy from the online library. Depending on how long it takes to become available, I believe this will be my next read and I am very much looking forward to it.
A Monday Present:
I decided to introduce a new section to Monday Posts that will be a little 'present' from me to you. I don't really like 'Monday Present' so if anyone has a suggestion for a title I would love to hear it. Basically this will be a random item that I love and believe will bring a smile to people's faces. From pictures, to websites to conversations overheard, feel free to suggest something for next week's present.
This week I found the most amazing set of pictures ever! As Wall-e is one of my favourite Pixar movies, I knew this what I wanted to share this week. Please visit their website to see more wonderful pictures - http://emmycic.livejournal.com/557020.html?view=22600668#t22600668
LOVE:
Keeping with the Wall-e theme, I end this Monday Post with one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen in a movie, animated or not.
Captain: Computer, define "dancing".
Ship's Computer: Dancing: A series of movements involving two partners, where speed and rhythm match harmoniously with music.
