Does it always look so gray before the fall?
Things I did not do this weekend:
-Homework
Things I did this weekend:
-Cleaned out Big Bunny’s cage. She now hates me more than ever. Because I ran both the Roomba and the vacuum cleaner in close proximity to her.
-Saw Twilight. It was Really Terrible. I was hoping it would be terrible in a fun and guilty pleasure sort of way, but instead it was just Really Terrible. I would feel bad for wasting my time, but I went with a group of other teachers and Andrea, and we had massive amounts of snacks, so it was a fun time despite the movie. I brought Scooby Snacks because of my love for Jacob. We also had Cherry Hershey’s Kisses, Oreos with red filling, and cherry gumdrops. Note the red theme. VAMPIRES LIKE BLOOD. I don’t know if you’ve heard. In solidarity with me, Andrea brought puppy chow. (Mike would like me to tell you that those Scooby Snacks are awesome. He and Big Bunny have finished off the box.)
-I folded all the laundry. I like doing laundry, but sometimes I don’t get it folded right away. This is a huge accomplishment.
-I made French Onion Soup. It was quite delicious, if I say so myself. And I do. Because it was delicious.
-I read four books: The World According to Bertie by Alexander McCall Smith (I loved it, of course, so why would I bore you with my review?), Death’s Half Acre by Margaret Maron (I waited for this one since August, and I am not all that happy with the public library for making me wait. Good book, though), Here if You Need Me by Kate Braestrup (pretty good), and 3 Willows by Ann Brashares (I will tell you about this one closer to publication. But you should plan on reading it, because it’s good).
-We also have clean sheets and I organized my closet.
In summation: I am boringly domestic. But at least I didn’t do any homework. I have some dignity left.

I caved and put a copy of Bertie on hold at Barnes and Noble – I really want to read it over the Thanksgiving break, and this way my mom can read it too (she loves the series after I made her start it a while ago). (I’m really liking the new Isabel Dalhousie book too – maybe a bit more than the earlier ones)

I feel like the Isabel Dalhousie books have gotten better and better. (I thought you were reading The Right Attitude to Rain. Are you reading The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday?)

No, I am reading Rain – I just wasn’t sure if there was a newer one out or not. (I found it for like $3 at Edward McKay a while ago and am just now getting to read it) I will have to look for Comforts. You think they’re getting better too? I can’t wait to read Comforts if that’s the case!

I really really liked The Right Attitude to Rain. I just looked and there’s another one between that one and The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday – The Careful Use of Compliments. I liked that one a whole lot, too. I don’t know if the new one was quite as good. I liked it a lot, but those two were really great.

Excellent. I just put them both on hold at the library. His books always make me want to visit Edinburgh, especially the audiobooks.

I was supposed to work, but didn’t. So I’ll get up at 0430 to work. Woo.
[I was asleep! I thought it was 0400! I was wrong!]
