'Hell Bound'
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.
Just in time for me to go back to work, my dog appears to have gotten over her 48 hours of diarrhea. Woot. I'm sure eating three meals in a row of white rice doesn't hurt.
In other news, apparently Roxana Saberi has been released by the Iranian government! That's excellent news.

Yay!
Also, in retrospect, I totally thought they were out in the country, but probably not, huh?
Well, Bobby did get bitten by a cottonmouth or something (and Trixie had to suck the venom out), so they had to be kind of in the country. I always thought they somehow lived on a nature preserve (didn't they go patrolling for poachers ?)
Trixie was a young teen living just outside the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson, in the Hudson River Valley area of New York. She lived at Crabapple Farm, which had been in her family for either three or six generations (this varies between books), with her parents and three brothers, Brian, Mart, and Bobby. The first book establishes her friendship with lonely, sheltered rich girl Honey Wheeler whose family has just moved into the Manor House next door and soon the girls are embroiled in their first case.

Oh yeah -- there were definitely woods, right?

Hee! Not quite Sleepy Hollow, not quite Croton-on-Hudson!
Good lord, people! Now I'm going to have to go home and re-read my Trixie Belden books!

I just pulled out the first couple Cherry Ames books.
I'm pretty sure my Trixie Belden books got sold in a yard sale. Either that, or there are somewhere in the attic, never to be seen again -- until they sell the house. By which I mean, until I sell the house, because I don't think my parents are planning on moving ever.
The kids finished the soccer season this weekend. Leif's team apparently won their game although I have no idea was the score was. That makes his team undefeated for the season.
Emaryn had two games over the weekend. Their team won the first one. They played well in both games, winning the first and losing the second. Emaryn played well, especially in the first game. She played unusually aggressive in the first game which was cute because she had her hair in pigtails with ribbons and had a rainbow and unicorn painted on her face. Their team ended up 5-3 on the season.
