I am a book snob. I'll admit it. You won't catch me reading an Oprah Pick on a bus...(that's a link to a post on this subject at my Book Nook, good discussion in the comments).
Over at casa az, the lovely and literate az has points us all to Cabanon Press, a fun collection of pictures used on the Guardian Saturday Review page. Here's my favourite:
Life does not happen in a vacuum.
What about you? What do you do when you know someone could be looking?

Polish Fans
This last week, I seem to have had a few visitors from Poland -- 28% of my visitors in fact!
I don't know any Polish, but please, stop and say 'Hi!'
(Oh, and thanks to a comment somewhere by raincoaster, this blog now comes up as the third hit when someone googles "Lillian Van der Zalm headband". Kill me now.)

My 40th
Today is my birthday. (To those who live near me, be aware that this groundhog has not seen her shadow this morning, and is not likely to -- very overcast.) In preparation for my glorious 40s (to continue on from my brilliant 30s), I'm taking the Pursuit of Excellence course this weekend. Self-examination all the way...
Here is a concept lifted from Norlinda at 30-something-media-addict, who lifted it from Life Begins at 30 (both lovely lists). I've been working on this one for a couple of days, and it has been a good exercise.

So, in no particular order, some things (25) I will never get tired of:
- a good book
- the first slow gulp of cold beer slipping down my parched throat
- a purring cat
- a cool summer morning and a cup of coffee outdoors
- walking in a snowfall
- laying down a bingo in Scrabble
- standing in the dark nave of a gothic cathedral
- learning something new
- escaping into a delightful movie
- a well-played blues guitar
- dark chocolate
- comprendre quelque chose dans une autre langue
- a really good belly laugh
- crossing things off a To Do list
- a fresh clean sheet of paper
- a gathering of like-minded individuals
- a lovely meadow
- cooking in a stocked kitchen
- controlled retail therapy :p
- the great design of a book or building or object
- road trips, long or short
- words strung together in a surprisingly insightful way
- looking up at the stars
- coordinating the Big Picture
- logic puzzles
Have a great day!
Lori
