HURRY UP AND READ

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 (2 hours)
The title of this week’s post is in relation to a phrase I like to use when flying, and specifically being at the airport consists of having to “hurry up and wait.”  And now that I am back on my 90 minutes of reading I was excited to have the opportunity to be at the airport and on the plane reading.  I do not like to get into a focused reading until I am in the air flying because there are too many distractions for me; number one is looking out the window and seeing the world.  Once we got above the clouds I was able to snuggle up with Jane Eyre and delve into her world.  She is really in love with Mr. Rochester and knows nothing can come of it because he is her boss and she is of a much lower class.  She finds it difficult to not daydream or wish he was not around more.  When he does return it is with many guests and he is busy entertaining them. 

Waiting in the terminal I prefer to read something a bit simpler so I caught up on the last two People magazines my friends gave me.  Not too much exciting stuff, but one little article that did catch my eye was a book for making crafts with your cat.  Key word “with” your cat, not “for” your cat.  Many of the crafts are felting projects.  I know a bit about felting because I knit and felting is taking something knitted or crocheted and putting it into water and agitating it.  The crafts are not exactly knitted because the “fiber” is from your cat’s hair (which would be difficult to spin and knit into yarn).  I didn’t know whether to laugh or buy the book.  The book is Crafting with Cat Hair, by Kaori Tsutaya.
