le weekend.

hello!

i've been catching up on reading all morning

for my classes this week.

it worked out perfectly, 

since it's -17 degrees outside.

i have little motivation to do 

anything besides stay under the covers with a book!

i had a lovely little weekend-

on friday night, we finished the week with some pizza and wine,

and watched 

the reader.

i read the book in high school,

and remember it was really sad, but not many more details.

turns out, it's still sad. but it was a good movie just the same.

what is with kate winslet and doing these heart breaking films?

saturday i bought a pair of ice skates!

and we went back to beaver lake and went for a skate.

i only fell once, but it was a pretty spectacular fall. 

there were definitely a few seconds between

when my skates left the ice, and when i hit the ice-

my tail bone's still pretty sore.

it was chilly, but we dressed warm, 

and sipped on hot chocolate and ate frozen granola bars.

sunday was spent grocery shopping, skype-ing, and meeting with my volunteer group. 

we're starting a women's circle at a local laundry coop.

i think it has the promise of something great :)

how was your weekend?

are you as bundled up as i am this afternoon?
