Blogger has been giving me fits for days - so here goes nothing...
the weekend was excellent involving sunshine, hiking, picnics, and lake dipping.

i finished The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World and have now passed it on for tag to read. it was completely absorbing, to the point that i think i want to read it again. the author traveled to several places i would like to go (Thailand, Iceland, India) and some locations i'm not in that much of a hurry about (Switzerland, Qatar) and it was surprising which locations made for more interesting read. the India trip came off a little boring - weird, no? anyway, was awesome book. don't be surprised if i start lending it to everyone i meet.

over at Mighty Girl, Maggie Mason posted a mighty life list some time ago with 100 things she wanted to do (i'm not even sure what i want to be doing next week, hmm....) and now has had the very awesome luck of Intel sponsoring her list - to the extent they asked her to pick 10 things to do in the next three months.
so, what would be on your list?
