June (?) Book List
I truly have no idea what month I read these books in; sometime between February and now. :o]
5. Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner: A friend gave me this one to read on our honeymoon, I'm sure partly because the title was amusing. It did make me laugh out loud more than once. This author also wrote In Her Shoes (now a major motion picture), which I'm ( Read more... ) -
Relief
Too much to fill in the blanks.
Went to a therapist for the first time yesterday and she's so money. Such a relief. Can't wait to go back next week.

February Book List
4. Gilead by Marilynne Robinson: a loan from shemaiah, and a very good read. I hadn't heard of this author before, but she has a beautiful style of prose that doesn't try too hard (my go-to turnoff with fiction). That, combined with the poignancy of the story, had me in tears well over a dozen times through the book. It's a long letter or a memoir of ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday, Banzai!!!
Happy Birthday, Banzai!!!
Happy Birthday, sweetheart. Looking forward to wishing you many more as my husband (!). You are such a gift to me; I don't know if there's a gift I can give back to match it. I love you. -
Post-nap Haze
I rarely take naps - unless I've gotten most of my to-dos accomplished, I just lie there and think about them.
Today, I was able to take a nap because I am exhausted from 2 straight weeks of work and lots of poor sleep - most notably, having been awake since about 2:30 this morning.
I also despise this post-nap groggy phase and have trouble getting ( Read more... ) -
January Book List (thanks for the reminder, jmcphers)
I was jealous of all the people in December posting their annual tallies of books they'd read. Our friend Nate does his old-school (just like everything he does, I think): a sheet of notebook paper taped on the wall. Most years, he breaks 100 books. I'm not even going to aim for a number, I think. I'll just read and see what happens. :o]

Happy Birthday, Pig!
Happy Birthday, pigthatisbig!My baby brother is 20. This doesn't seem possible. I remember the day he was born, the day he came home from the hospital, getting to help take care of him as he grew into a toddler. I was 8, turning 9. He was like having a real live baby doll ( Read more... )
