Whee! I have a babysitting gig for Miss P's family on Saturday (probably says something about me that this is something I look forward to....) Fun with the kids and baby cuddling!

I let him sleep. Sleep makes baby and momma happy.

Instead of using up a gallon of gas, I'm reading Unshelved. (curse you, Steph!)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The status is NOT quo.

Kat, did you figure out your book list?

I'd still love to get together and talk, but I'm out of commission for a few more days (I was diagnosed with friggin' pneumonia today; no wonder I've felt like such crap). Maybe some time next week?

Sleep is good. Especially when dealing with babies.

ARGH. Kristin, I sort of did. I'll email what I have to you. I'm still looking for more grotesques, more magical realism and some thoughts on romance...

not your mom's socks.

grotesques, more magical realism and some thoughts on romance...

Poe; Marquez, Allende, Borges; and ... (see all I'm coming up with for the last is a cautionary tale about Cassie Edwards...)

eta: not that you really asked my opinion, or probably wanted it...

The status is NOT quo.

Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya is great for magical realism. I assume you already have something by Gabriel García Márquez and/or Isabel Allende?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Susan's tag has earwormed me with the Enya version.

Is that a good or a bad thing for you?

My choir is singing it this Sunday, and I've found practicing it comforting since hearing my mom's latest diagnosis.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

AP english sounds a lot more interesting than when I was in school. Rocking horse Winner, To Esme with Love and Squalor, and Heart of Darkness.
