The Shopaholic series on the other hand, is everything mockable about the genre. Feh.
Hee! And I love them, all the same.
I also love Jane Greene, who has become my go-to-girl for stuff when I'm tired of other stuff. I just read my first Marian Keyes and really liked it a lot. I need to update my have-reads.
Thanks, Sox!
For the leather challenge:
First Christmas
“Did you get your present?”
“Um… yeah.”
“I made them myself!”
“Really? I had no idea.”
“So, what did you think of them?”
“Why two?
“The little one’s for fun and the big one’s for more fun. ... You’re not talking. You don’t like them, do you?”
“I do! They’re really nice. I just wish you’d warned me!”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“I opened the box in front of my sister!”
“Oh. What did she say?”
“She said, ‘Why did she send you TWO floggers?’”
“I had extra leather?”
“My dad says he’s going to give you his riding crop.”
“Eww.”
“Yeah.”

Ugh.
SO TIRED.

I remember a show I saw a while ago about recording the cast album of a Broadway musical. One of the stars was bound and determined not to force everyone to stay an extra day because she couldn't get the piece right in the recording studio, so she stayed late, pushing herself, and it showed. The producer finally talked her into calling it a night. The next day she and the orchestra were well rested, and she ripped off a superb version in one take.
Most everything is better with rest.
I called him a poo head and now we're not speaking.
When did I become nine?
When did I become nine?
When somebody took a jab at your baby.
Allyson, it sounds like such a cool story. I'm ready to buy it for my punkin bunnies.
all my niecephews are past the kiddie-lit stage but I'll be buying the bat book for myself.
I feel all stompy feet tantrumy about the way three turned out and now i want to give up and take all my toys home AND BE VERY POUTY.
Would it help to do exactly that today and get back to three tomorrow?
