Monday Is Going To Be A Huge Day

Body: So freaking cold. I can't seem to get warm, and the cold is making all of my joints hurt.

Stress Level: 2

Book Review: Finished The Crazy Years by Spider Robinson on Friday night. A truly excellent collection of essays and articles. My only problem with any of them is that they generally were too short. I would have liked to see more detail. Rating: 9 out of 10. Not yet loanable through the Kindle.

Reading: Sunrise Alley by Catherine Asaro


Hearing: Music - right this second, "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" from my Original London Cast recording of Les Miserables.

Etsy Find: Vintage crystal cordial glasses.

Project Follow-up: Both dropping the car off on Friday and picking it up again on Saturday were more hassle than I wanted. Next time it needs work done I'll take it in early on a weekday morning and use their shuttle to get to work, and the use the shuttle to pick it up again when they're done with it.

Tonight's Project: Dishes, and continuing to untangle the giant mess of yarn so that I can actually make it into a scarf for myself.

Randomness: What's the weather like where you are? Here in the upper Hudson Valley it's absurdly cold. The predicted high is 9F. Ick. They're also predicting another major storm for tomorrow.

I am so tired, and so cold.

I need to stop at the grocery store on my way home, and I think I'm going to get one of those pre-roasted chickens. That, along with the left-over Ham & Potato soup, sounds like the perfect dinner for tonight.

Writer's Block: Timeless tales

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Which ones weren't my favorites might be a better question. :)

There are books everyone knows that I've loved as long as I can remember, like Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and its sequels, the Oz books, and so many more.

There are the books that it seems almost nobody has heard of, but which I love as much as the more popular ones. Elizabeth Enright's books about the Melendy family (the first book is The Saturdays), Hitty Her First Hundred Years by Rachael Field, Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild and its sequels, and too many others to list.
