Pizza and...

Monday, July 23

You know that you are in good company when just chatting away makes a 13 hr trip seem like a 3-4 hour trip. Even with our numerous pit stops for drinks, libations, and gas. After waking up at 4am and doing the shortest 13 hr drive ever, we arrived, and it was only roughly 4pm. There were still many hours before we would be able to retire at a reasonable hour. So we ordered pizza and curled up on our respective couches with books to do some well earned reading.  Having brought only What to Expect Before You’re Expecting and The Devil in the White City with me Ms Ianthine was more than happy to suggest several of the books in her enormous library.

Delighted to have new reading material, I settled on a quirky romance novel which involved women jousting and men in tights. It was extremely nice to just spend some companionable time inhaling nonsensical hilarity and just allowing ourselves to breathe after the long day cooped in the car. I love that we share the joy of reading and that we were both perfectly happy to just be in the same room no entertainment necessary.
