joy, luck

In a direct act of defiance against the start of the new school semester and the loads of studying I'll have to do, I have started a new cross-stitch and a new book. Go me! The cross-stitch is entitled "Dreaming of Tuscany." It doesn't look too difficult, so hopefully this will be a nice relaxing break from the stresses of school.

The book I've just begun is The Joy Luck Club. I picked it up years ago at one of the library book sales and have been saying I'm going to get around to reading it for as long as it's been on our bookshelf. It may have actually made the move with us from Florida! But anyways, I'm finally going to read it ~ partly because it looks like a fairly easy read, and partly because I really like the title. I could use a little joy and luck in my life right about now. Maybe this will be a good omen!
