I wonder why it seems like anything anyone else is doing is infinitely more interesting than anything I have going on.
And why doesn't Target have any cool "St. Patrick's Day" green nail polish? I used to have all kinds of kooky colors. Back in high school, sure but again more recently. Ah well, I must be behind the times. Even the little kids stuff didn't yield success.

Nearly finished with my greatest latest book, "The Red Tent". Old Testament Biblical times told from the point of view of Jacob's daughter, Dinah. I didn't even know he HAD a daughter. Seems the women work and work, and do the midwife thing, breed the sheep, move the tents, and then have to sacrifice watching their children grow up to make things go smoothly. Twas ever thus.

Next up: "Cell" by Stephen King. It wasn't really next up, but it moved to the top of the pile as soon as I got it. "Wicked" is in there, and a Patricia Cornwell book...along with "The Glass Castle" and "French Women Don't Get Fat". Maybe that will help me rid myself of this last batch of weight I can't seem to shake. the first 50 pounds seemed to come off all right.

or maybe I'll drink lots of wine and I won't care.

on that note, it's dinner time!!
