Monday Funday

This title is clearly a lie, because Mondays are never fun. Are they?

I did something to my back yesterday or Saturday overnight...because it is excruciatingly painful every time I move. Mr. Smith had the fabulous idea to sit in bed with the heating pad last night and read, which felt amazing. And I slept wonderfully. And this morning, woke up to the same damn pain. I'm trying to avoid a trip to the chiropractor (I'm tired of paying $20 copays!), so I'm going to give it another day. Fingers crossed.

Last night, I started reading American Wife. I keep hearing good things about this book...but so far, I have found it pretty boring. I only made it through about 10 or so pages before setting it down in favor of this week's issue of Time. Have you read American Wife? Does it get more interesting? Book reviews appreciated.

Update: just spoke to Lisa, who coincidentally also started reading American Wife this weekend (possibly because we're in the same bloggy book club). And also stopped after 10 pages because she thought it was boring. Hmmmm.
