Friday

Yes, I'm a romantic. I got up to watch the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton and loved every minute of it. She was simply stunning. The wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch. And I think the monarchy will be safe with them when the time comes. There were so many moments I liked: Harry sneaking a peak as Kate was walking up the aisle, Kate in the car driving to the Abbey looking so happy and poised, the drive in the Astin Martin, the music -- Jerusalem and the hymn by their friend that was so haunting, William telling Kate she looked beautiful, the traditional curtsey to the Queen...

I took the day off from work...requested it months ago. I'll be taking a nap later I think to catch up on the lost sleep. Now it is early afternoon and I will put the final touches to the May issue of Premeditated. Tonight we have Camelot to watch. We didn't get the storms that they predicted but it is terribly windy right now.

I'm reading an arc on my Kindle via netgalley.com called SEMI-SWEET by Irish author Roisin Meany. It's a chick-lit type of book but is suiting my mood. Here is a description:

Hannah Robinson is just about to open the doors to her new shop Cupcakes on the Corner when out of the blue her boyfriend Patrick announces that he's leaving her for another woman. Faced with starting a business on her own, Hannah begins to wonder if her life-long dream has just turned into a nightmare. So her best friend Adam sets his birthday as a deadline - seven months to make her shop a success, or walk away from it all. And as Hannah immerses herself in her new business, she soon discovers that she's too busy to think about Patrick and his now pregnant girlfriend ...or to notice an increasingly regular customer who has recently developed a sweet tooth for all things cupcake. But while Hannah is slowly piecing her life back together, family friend Alice's is falling apart. Her husband Tom's drinking is getting out of control and things are about to get a whole lot worse. As the seven-month milestone approaches, Hannah must decide her future. And while she's figuring out what's really important, it becomes clear to everyone that happiness in life, and in love, is all in the making.

Have a lovely rest of the day.

Much love,
