Books #16-20: Falling behind...
I am now four weeks behind on my question to read one book per week this year. A lack of commute has left me much more time in my day, but I’m not using that time to read so much. I’m using it to cook, workout, be social and a host of other things. Still, I need to get back on track or I’m never going to finish!
Here’s what I’ve been reading over the past month:

“Do me a favor, for your own good, put your name in your books right now before...”
– Harry, from When Harry Met Sally. Today is move-in day. Let’s hope it never comes to this! Luckily, there’s not a wagon wheel coffee table in sight at Dan’s apartment.
“In response to a question from Representative Mike Doyle, a Pennsylvania...”
– Live Blogging BP’s Tony Hayward in Congress —NYTimes.com
“My job is to serve as a human shield, to protect my people from external...”
– 12 Things Good Bosses Believe - The Conversation - Harvard Business Review (via leahj)
YES.

“For most couples, the bedroom is a sanctuary from the stress of busy lives, a...”
– The lede to today’s NYT Sunday Vows section. And here I thought everyone’s bedroom looked like an Apple showroom.
A Lack of Motivation. Or Inspiration.
I’ve been having trouble coming up with things to write about here. The weird thing is, life has been weirdly exciting over the past few weeks. Between job stuff (my own and Dan’s promotion) and the impending move, there’s plenty of material.
But I haven’t wanted to delve into any of it.
Maybe it’s the uncertainty of the newness of work. Or perhaps it’s...
“I really don’t like to work out. But it’s a perfect combination of eco-warrior,...”
– Kelly Cutrone on why she rides a bike. I feel similarly. (NYTimes.com)

Lots of New Things
I have a new job.
