I started The Three Musketeers this past Friday night. I gulped down over 200 pages during the whole weekend. I can barely put it down, even to do important stuff like cook, clean and talk to people! I love the intrigue going on. I seem to have forgotten a LOT of the plot, because I don’t seem to remember much of anything that is going on but it has been over 10 years since I first read it. It’s great fun.
In other news, I feel like crap. LOL I feel pregnant! Icky tired, nauseous (I almost threw up in public Saturday, yuck!) but happy nonetheless. I have a great story.
Ellie has been trying to see the baby. We’ll talk about it and she’ll try to pull up my shirt and down my pants saying she wants to see “her little sister baby.” I tell her 1) you can’t see it yet honey, it’s not ready yet and 2) it could be a “little brother baby” to which she says she wants a little sister. She’s done this several times. But Saturday night, she stood up on the bed and said, pointing at her little tummy “Ellie has a dragon in her belly!” and grinned the biggest smile ever! It was SO funny. I just laughted and agreed with her. Too cute!
Great story, too cute! Glad you're happy despite the joys of morning sickness. I've mentioned on other sites that Dumas is another of the classic authors that I just have to get to. Glad to hear that 3 Musk. is so enthralling!
My daughter is 3 and I am currently 4 weeks away from my due date with my second child. One day my daughter came over to my belly (which is huge) with a piece of macaroni in her mouth. Then she went back over to her plate and came back over with another piece of macaroni in her mouth. After a couple trips back and forth I finally said, "Okay, what are you doing?" and she said, "I'm feeding my baby bird brother." She was pretending to be the mother bird dangling food to the babies… how cute is that?!?!?!
The Three Musketeers is such an enjoyable read. I read it a long time ago – didn't think I would like it and was so surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Ellie is just too cute
I broke down and ordered the new translation. I am looking forward to reading it now! I need some good escapism. Sorry to hear you're sick, but at least your daughter is enjoying it so far!
LOL!!! That explains it. I think I have a dragon in my belly too! Or a herd of rhinoceri!
