1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
Well, as most of my books are still packed, I went to a nearby box and grabbed one of the books from the top. Here is the text:
Up the stairs and there it was, dingier now that she got a good look at it, but still beautiful. The cream of its flanks was closer to a brown, and the gilt trim was mostly rubbed off. Its lips were carved in what she thought was a slight sneer, and Kaye grinned to see it.
Together, they dragged the horse over the floor toward the stairs. Leaning forward, the weight of it was resting on Corny as they eased it down step after step. It barely fit.
From Tithe by Holly Black
My mother-in-law is in town and staying with Richard and Tracey. She brought my niece Emily up with her to visit. Emily is almost 14. Mer and I went over and visited for awhile this evening before heading out to have dinner with her dad and aunt, and their friends. Robbie and crew go out most Thursday nights somewhere or other. They've been trying to get me to come along for awhile now. So, tonight I did, and we had a good time. Whether I continue to go will depend on finances and my mood.
There's not much else going on. My depression floats in and out, but it's manageable. I need to finish hooking up my printer and scanner, find my printer cartridges and blank CDs, and get busy on the projects I have promised people. That will probably be a weekend job because I have a hard time getting motivated to be productive after getting home from work. Bear with me, dears, I'll get it together eventually.
While grabbing the book for the meme tonight, I also came across a book I promised to send Urs. I'll pack that up when I have some cards ready to send you, hun!
