Cordelia ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My week started off on a sour note, but I've been disciplined about my diet and haven't ordered takeout this week. Mostly because no internet but I'll take the small victory.
Also I know I mentioned this but just booking the wedding planner has already been a big victory for me, since that was scary.
Nice stuff:
I started a fencing class.
It's turning into lovely New England late summer/early fall weather, which is my favorite time of year.
That does sound like a delicious meal.
had an amuse-bouche of heirloom tomato soup
I'm all about the amuse-bouche. When we were planning the wedding, I asked the caterer for "little tidbit like treats between meals, like the lagniappe you get in New Orleans" and she said, "Oh, amuse-bouche! We can have fun with that."
I'm listening to "Re: Your Brains." That's pretty fun.
Does anyone know of nice hotels in Akron Ohio?
Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.
Emmett had been at his mom's for a longish stretch and when we went to get Matilda last night they were both so freaking happy to see each other. He played with her in the car all the way home (she was in her car seat) and he held her hands to walk her all the way down the block, and she was giggling and cracking up at all his usual antics.
Also, I'm almost almost done with my book and the feedback I've been getting from my beta readers has been (a) excellent and (b) really encouraging. I'm finally starting to feel like it's becoming the book I set out to write.
Oh, and I got the proofs on my Dan Hicks article which will be coming out in the music issue of Oxford American, which is a biggish deal.
but when you come back?
Just wanted to see that part again.
Hey Hec, do you know when your 33 1/3 comes out?
Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.
I went to watch my friend's 4-year-old's first soccer practice. As a bonus I got to see her other son walk on his own for the first time.
