I miss chick lit

I recently finished a book about drug addiction and rehab, and now I'm reading a book about 4 people who met when they were trying to commit suicide. The next thing I read will be light and fluffy!

On my chick lit pile:

Bollywood Confidential by Sonia Singh
Faking 19 by Alyson Noel
The Au Pairs by Melissa de la Cruz
Happiness Sold Separately by Libby Street
Cold Feet by Heather Swain, Elise Juska, et al (short story collection)
The Interruption of Everything by Terry McMillan
Sofie Metropolis by Tori Carrington

On my non-chick lit pile:

Several Alexander McCall Smith books
The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh

These books aren't chick lit, but they still look a little more cheerful than what I'm reading.

I also have my reading for yoga school, which is actually quite interesting. One of them is an anatomy coloring book, where they talk about metatarsals and everything! These are the middle bones in the foot.

Bearette, you and I seem to be on the same reading list lately. I am also reading A Long Way Down. At least, I'm assuming that's the one you're reading about the four people trying to commit suicide! I love Nick Hornby.

Yup, that's the one ;) I actually didn't like it as much as High Fidelity or About a Boy, but it was good. Sadly, I gave up on Irving :( I'll read his next book, though.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
