Something to chew on

Long weekend, we just had! It felt really busy. And I need to call my mom b/c I kept missing her... For shame! (Does that count as a public apology? I'm so sorry, mama!!!)

Book Club met and our next book is going to be Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert. She wrote Eat, Pray, Love and I reeeeeally enjoyed that last year. Should be interesting.

Next pick is mine. I feel great pressure for it to be good. My last book club picks have... Well, given me a bit of a reputation. For picking junk. And that's just not a hat that I feel comfortable wearing. I've read so many great books! I'm just apparently, unable to share those choices. But this time, this time's going to be different! I've already started my research project. I've perused book stores. Looked at lists online. Ripped articles out of magazines!

But I did a lot of research for my last picks too so, eh, this one will probably be no different. If we all just finish it, victory will be mine.

Man... I really having nothing good to share today. I'm cold, a little grouchy, and it's dreary out. I just want to be home, make my pork chops, and curl up on the couch with Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult. It's a real page turner.

I could really become a house hobbit, I think. I would wear nothing but pajama pants and keep company with the animals. Over time, I would no longer speak, content to merely stare at the TV and nod to passersby.

It might be time for a bit of an afternoon snack to lift the spirits. I had gross banana oatmeal for breakfast. Followed by a teensy Healthy Choice frozen meal. So it's not been a great day for eating. But there's nothing but greasy chips and candy bars in the vending machine. I wish they had a sausage and cheese plate in there. That would be the best right now. Sausage and cheese! Specifically, from Huey's. Or I guess really wherever... Who am I to be vendor vending machine picky right now?

I'm making myself hungry. Take care of yourself, Internet. I know you need an apple or something right about now.
