Dear Diary:
When I saw that "The Liaison Collaborative" was having a literary theme, I had to fly out and see what they were offering.
I think everyone knows that I love to read. I finished reading "The Dinner" in July and enjoyed the story immensely. It tells of two families who go to dinner to talk over an issue they have with their sons. The dinner contains twists and turns, jumping to the past and talking of potential results for the future. You can read a short review here. I understand there's a movie soon to be out based on this book.
I'm now reading "The Lightkeeper's Daughter", a mystery, by Canadian (and Ontarian) Jean Pedizwol. I'm just into the beginning chapters so can't comment on how much I like it or not. Read about it here.
My picture shows exactly how I like to read in my first life...after supper when I can relax; with my dog sitting across my feet; and a good book to keep me company.
Good Night for now.

Dear Diary:
When I got back from vacation, I saw the announcement that The Trunk Show had a wedding theme. Lately I've been intrigued by wedding dresses so I just had to fly out and see the venue. I wasn't disappointed. I tried on several dresses, shoes and accessories. It was a difficult decision but I was sold on the dress by GField.
The high-low hemline is very pretty with the lace scallop edge. The lace overlay give a rather innocent look for the bride-to-be. It comes in a variety of colours and I usually pick the traditional white but since it is autumn, I thought a creamy colour would be more appropriate for the season. Having a bouquet of sunflowers is also very "fallish" to me and adds to the theme.
The shoes, by Empire, complimented the lace in the dress. The shoes come with a HUD so can be used for many different outfits.
Good Night for now.

Dear Diary:
Yes, I'm trying to get back to the work routine again. When I thought about going back to work, it seemed easy...get up earlier; have some clean clothes on hand; and make sure I knew what I was doing and where I was going. Sounds easy, right? But no. There's so much more to it than that.
First I had to stock the 'fridge with enough food to be able to make my lunches and suppers. That's a chore in itself.
I got my laundry up to date and manage to get my schedule all set for the next few weeks but it was an effort.
I really think not only your body goes into vacation mode, but your brain does too.
Oh well. I'll be back to normal by next weekend...hopefully.
Good night for now.
