I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I have an assumption that I would have to work hard to get past that everyone has read HHGttG

I assume people who have read it would be delighted to be randomly handed a copy while on the beach, so it's win-win.

Because books.

Sheryl, I hope you find something that works well, like...yesterday.

Wishing good sleep and energy to smonster!

I'm on my phone, which I hate, but for the book, I would say I The Book Thief. I hope that works(ed).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is a good point, Jessica

Our wings are not tired.

I had a whole Meara but I lost it in the buffer.

I hate when that happens! Flirty packing does sound like the best kind of packing.

I just want to get around this corner.

It's been a long hard corner. May the days be few until you see things all fall into place.

Still adding to my book list. So many books. Honestly, that is one of the best things about my "retirement". More time for reading and listening to books. I always seem to have 3 going at once now. Alas, the one I am listening to for FL book club is a total snooze.

The worst.

Hi, Amy! Just because. Nice to see you!

I haven't thought of a good book answer yet.

I'm making an instant pot dinner again, which is good, because I wanted to order, but restrained myself. And it's getting me back in the kitchen to make things.

I am so sorry, Sheryl. I wish I had more to offer than that.

Fruity pebbles:

That sucks, ND, and sending "pay up, mf-ers" vibes to your clients

smonster, flirty packing sounds like an excellent plan

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm making shrimp scampi with pasta. Although, full disclosure: the shrimp scampi is from Trader Joe's, so all I do is bake it from frozen and then put it on spaghetti. Super tasty, though.

Because books.

We had Italian takeout, because it was one of my 8 am to 7 pm days (my brain officially went offline, with audible sizzling and popping). I had pizza and also penne alla vodka. Noms.

Hi, JenP! ::tacklehugs JenP just because::

I forgot to say Fie! on your clients! to ND. Consider it said!

Our wings are not tired.

We went out for Italian because I have pretty much emptied my refrigerator and didn't want to thaw anything. He had pizza and I had lobster ravioli. Both had the Italian wedding soup, which was yum. Came home, got in jammies, poured a glass of wine.

Tomorrow, we have to do all the things.
