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.

She wrote St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, which several friends of mine raved about, though I have not read it. I did read Swamplandia and was less than impressed. Some fabulous images, but not much to hang onto otherwise.

Also, her people are not our earth people.

Yeah, that's the truth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did not enjoy Swamplandia! at all.

Because books.

I know her newest book got some good reviews, but I haven't read anything by her yet. I guess I won't rush!

I feel like Swamplandia! was "acclaimed," but you know.

Nerves, nerves, and more nerves.

They used the S-word in regards to our weather last night. There's a cold, wet storm moving in, and there's good likelihood of snow in the mountains by the end of the week.

Whee!!!

We've already hit our high for the day.

Nerves, nerves, and more nerves.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Go, Amy!

I did not get the call from MacArthur. But my mom called and she may get to go home from the hospital today. She sounded strong and pragmatic. Very mom like.

I have started to love baking and bought my first stand mixer--not a Kitchen Aid, sadly.
