Friday Fill-Ins & A Link

Sorry I've been off for a couple of days!  I've had a fair whack of unexpected work lately.  It's much busier this September than the past 2 years I've been a substitute teacher.  A good sign :o)  Have also battled headaches from lack of coffee.  I've heard that happens if you give it up for a little while (I didn't do this deliberately--just busy with work & didn't get to stop at a Tims), but I'm back on it.  I can't help it...you coffee hounds out there know what I mean :oD

As for my reading progress, I had a workshop today & squeezed in a few pages of Pride & Prejudice, but I'm most proud of my 375 page progress of Under the Dome.  That's still only 37.5% complete, but I'm completely overcome by it.  It's highly addictive!

I came across this neat little Friday meme from Janet @ Friday Fill-Ins.  So, here goes.  My answers are underlined (the rest is from Janet, unless it comes in a follow-up sentence):

1. My back is watched by my loved ones.  Ack, that was awkward grammar :oD

2. Wish I had the guts to go completely wild.

3. Leaves are falling all around, from a majestic maple tree.

4. If all we have are memories, I hope I don't grow up with forgetfulness.

5. Healing is a tough but necessary process.

6. Teaching is what I've been up to lately!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing & maybe seeing a movie, tomorrow my plans include reading & doing the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle, and Sunday, I want to watch the football game, followed by Desperate Housewives!


As for the link, borrowed from Shannon @ Books Worth Reading, it's a great list of 100 Best First Lines From Novels.  I tried scrolling down slowly to test myself on the lines & got a couple right.  Some unrecognizable titles, but a fun list nonetheless.

Have a great weekend :o)
