I did not enjoy Swamplandia! at all.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.

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.

I just went through the whole list, and realized I was afraid I would see someone I know! What is wrong with me.
HAHAHAH! I read the list each year and think, "I SUCK."
Except, I too was remarkably unimpressed with Karen Russell. I've even tried her most recent and abandoned it. Lots of verbal fireworks, but nothing substantial. I think the Macarthur folks got it wrong.
