Friday Chit Chat

Hi Friday! Hi!

A few things:

3 months from today I’m getting married. Hee.

I just got my eyebrows threaded, shit hurts. It’s very effective but it hurts. My arm almost went up and smacked the poor threading lady in the head.

I have an extremely nice weekend coming up. Extremely nice. Extremely.

I finished reading another Pulitzer “The Optimists Daughter” by Eudora Welty and I don’t think I’ve ever been so bored. Not ever. I didn’t even hate it like I hated “Arrowsmith” I didn’t feel anything about it. I finished it the day before yesterday and I have completely forgotten it. Very small book, very plain story, there were maybe one or two heartstrings tugged, but yeesh, I am not on a good roll with the Pulitzers these days. I have the Caine Mutiny next, that should be something right?

Before I get to that though I’m reading “The Art of Racing in the Rain.” Ack. It’s the story of a very old dog told from the dog’s perspective. I started crying on page one, and have cried on every page since I started. I recommend and do not recommend this book, depending on how much you like to torture yourself with the stories of very old dogs. Sigh.

It has been making me extra kiss Remo these days though.

Pizza bagel from Einstein’s? Not nearly as good as you might think.

Oh, my friend John is picking up Curious the Cat today. Done and done. YAY!

Life is fascinating, utterly and completely fascinating.


Happy Friday!
