Five Things 5/2/2006

1) A good visit with good friends whom I missed and who missed me last night.
2) tea
3) getting things done already this morning
4) the old cross stitch patterns and magazines I found at a consignment shop for 10 cents a piece on vacation. I have plenty to stich (and plenty to share, Julie!)
5) the two hard to find pieces of antique glassware I found at an antique shop for half of the price listed in my collector's book

The Da Vinci Code

Even though I am a few years behind the curve, I'm going to start reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown this week.  If anyone would like to join me in reading it and/or discussing it, let me know in comments.

I know this work has gotten a lot of media attention, but I am unspoiled in every way.  Even in really what all the fuss is about.  I bought the book when it first came out and when I know I have a much discussed book in my To Be Read stack, I try to stay away from all media coverage (with the exception of James Frey, there was just no getting away from that fiasco).
