Ha...that didn't last long, did it? I guess I am not good at the not-blogging thing. In time I can talk about some things that are going on in real life. For now, I just wanted to mention that I am reading Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and really enjoying it. Gentle British comedy. I picked it up a while back and couldn't get into it, but I'm glad I gave it another try. Sometimes you have to be in the right mood for something.

I can't wait for spring.

Sometimes it helps to put a book down and then come back months later. I did that w/Michener's Hawaii... Maybe something else was preoccupying u when u first started the book? I know that happens w/me.

I read the Major Pettigrew book recently, and I loved it! The tongue-in-cheek British humor just cracks me up.

I know what you mean about having to be in the mood for something.

May I suggest Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat"? A very funny tale about three friends and a dog who poled a boat up the Thames for a holiday.

Still one of my favourites.

I feel like I have nothing to blog about anymore because something shifted in my brain where I feel like I'm bragging if I talk about my happy life or I'm complaining if I talk about anything negative or I'm divulging if I talk about work.

blech.

I hope for you that there is positive stuff going on and that you're happy.

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...

 I just finished watching the Gilmore Girls revival. I heard it was “controversial,” but I liked it. I hope they do another one.
