Weekly Recap: 6/23 - 6/29

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG

Hi everyone! I'm back from ALA and I had SUCH a great time! I can't wait to do it all again next year (I hope)! If you'd like to read about my time there and see my haul, I shared it all in a post earlier this week, which you can find here. I returned from ALA late Monday night after my flight was delayed due to a soccer team on its way to San Juan. But I did make it home and, although I had a great time, it was also great to be home again. I jumped into getting my shelves organized, but still have a few older books to unhaul.

The rest of the week was uneventful, thankfully. Friday night my husband and I made an impromptu trip to Epcot where we stumbled across Dirk Wunderlich, a Thomas Kinkade Studios legacy artist. We were able to pick up a couple small canvas prints to be signed and sketched, which was a really fun surprise! I'd love to be able to save some pennies and meet him later in the year and get one of the new large Disney paintings signed. (I'm dreaming.) On Saturday we woke up and decided to head to the Salvador Dali museum in St. Pete, which we've been meaning to get to for two years! It was a fairly expensive museum to visit and it was small, but it was really cool to be able to see the surrealist art I've been admiring my whole life up close.

This coming week I'm hoping to spend quite a bit of time reading some of the books I picked up last weekend. I'm also debating whether to DNF my current listen, which is interesting but is dragging on and on and I'm getting bored... How do you decide when to DNF?
