And seriously, it's so much better than a review. No need for blah-blah-blah pros and cons or whatever, it's just about how the book is awesome!!

My perfect weekend would definitely not include the 12-hour shift I'm scheduled to work tomorrow.

I wish I could show Aimee and MM to my boss and coworkers as an effective example of medium-distance communication. Instead of the yelling from office to office and down the hall that they currently do.

My DH hates it when I call to him from elsewhere in the house. That's the way we did it when I was growing up--In my family, we can project. So now I use my cell to call him on his cell or the landline when we're on different floors.

We sometimes IM each other from the next seat over.

My perfect weekend would involve being somewhere fabulous with friends....a beach might not be it, unless it weren't beach weather. But there would be hammocks, lots of books, some internet, some movies/tv dvds, and lots and lots of food. And some board or card games.

And seriously, it's so much better than a review. No need for blah-blah-blah pros and cons or whatever, it's just about how the book is awesome!!

Yes, as my housemate said when I showed it to him: "That's the type of book that potential readers just need to know about, they don't need a review."

Unrelatedly, it hurts. But at least it hurts at home. I may have to work tomorrow, but if so, I do have until 1:30.

Sucks, but could suck worse.

Upside, my Ubuntu box is working. Downside, it's 1280x1024.

I have a decision to make--do I take painkillers to sleep well tonight, or do I suck it up until tomorrow's acupuncture? Of course, there is the risk that I'm in too much pain to drive there...I have hours yet to decide. There's lemonade that needs drinking.

Oh--my perfect day has a range of citrus beverages, including lemonade, limeade, and ortanique juice.

I'm still having little brain explosions about how freaking huge and awesome the book being in EW is. I mean, *I* think it should have that huge coverage, but I've got biases, right? And I don't know diddly about the publicity world.

Tons and tons of people I don't know and will never know read that.

Yeah, my brain is sometimes that small.

Thanks, paperdol, for sharing the scan! I may be a little biased, but it would convince me to buy the book.

I asked the question - I should answer it.

At this moment in time my perfect weekend would involve:

my husband, my cat and my house. It starts with a clean house - so I don't spend the weekend doing things like cleaning the bathroom or moving piles so I can at the dinning room table. I want enough books, food , dvds , and drink of various sort so we don't have to leave the house. I want to go for long walks, read, watch large chunks of series or movies that have been on my list forever. Long walks would be good, but I just want to say hi to neighbors, no long conversations that end up at restaurants. I want to cook good for us. ( or matt can cook). I want to do the dishes together. I want matt to red, play guitar - and work in the garage , only if he wants to. maybe I'll play in the garden. While I want to do some stuff together I don't want my stuff to interfere with his stuff or visa versa.

My perfect weekend is so far out of reach, I'll probably just stay home and mope.

I am close to the Jersey Shore, but I won't be going there. I do love Brigantine Island, though. My sister used to have a beach house there. (It's near Atlantic City.)

eta excellent book blurb, paperdol! It would get me to buy it, even if I weren't gonna anyway. Oh, that's what I can do this weekend!
