1. Our book club book this month, Juliet, Immortal, was, quite frankly, one of the worst books I've ever tried to get through. Which I didn't. Get through. I read half and skimmed the rest and then wanted to stab my eye with a fork. It was an AWFUL book. Horribly written and just...juvenile. I mean, I even read Twilight to finish, people. That's how bad this was. Which is sad considering the premise was fantastic to the point I was really excited to read it. Disappointment galore. I need a cleanser, now.
2. My sister's etsy site, Paisley Cinnamon is live. She has ADORABLE stuff. Go. Look. Buy. And sign up for her blog, also Paisley Cinnamon.
3. I'm dealing with something in my life I REALLY wish I could talk about. Because I have found that things are dealt with better when talked and not bottled. But I can't. And it's making me sad and REALLY mad. Sigh. Luckily it's moo and just a tiny blip and will be out of my life before I know it. But, oh. I do love to vent.
4. We bought a second freezer last week (an upright!) and that makes me...I don't know. But it's weird. Two freezers. I'm hopeful we can get everything into the upright and save the chest for turkeys and chickens. First milestone of food storage complete!
5. Sammy and I had a "do nothing but veg in front of movies" day on Tuesday. Those don't come nearly as often as they are needed.
6. I'm finding I'm so intolerant of people's drama lately. I'm guessing 38 years of trying to make everything ok for everyone and I just don't...care any more. Stop the drama. Everything's not always all about you. Say what you mean. Grow up. Realize that no place is perfect neither are people. Be open - to people, experiences, things. You may think you're the most open minded in the world, but if you came off your high horse, you'd see that the enemy really isn't there like you thought. Whew! I think that covers many of the ills I've been seeing. See one that fits you? Take it, embrace it, run with it and grow up. We'll all be happier. Hmmmm. Did I just say that to the world? Huh. Carry on. Nothing to see here.
7. I really want these boots and I don't know how to reconcile that in my head.
8. I finally started watching PBS's Downton Abbey. Oh, my. I just adore it. And for the first time since getting rid of tv, I'm sad. Justified started this week. And we still need to catch up on season 2. I keep telling myself that it's fine, but man. I'm antsy. Speaking of...The Swell Season on DVD just got a release date. Guess what's preordered?
9. I ate so many clementines yesterday, I think my body may be holding on to a secret case of scurvy I don't know about.
10. This has been my theme song this week. I forget how much I love it.

You can here any time you want and need to.
Yeah...I'm going to need to hear that vent. Unless it's about me.
And thanks!!
And I love those boots.
Yea! I will still be here in Mesa in the spring!! Hope we get to meet up! I know what you mean about the high school reunion--except I only gradutated with 23 people. It's not much of a party when only 23 people (and their spouses) get together. We didn't even have a 20 year reunion. I'll be interested to know how it goes.
I know, Mom.
Laurel - I'll let you know the details as it gets closer. And that's about how Isaac's graduating class was. Most of whom I've met. Which is why I'm looking forward to his!
I love your list, you know I do. :) I admire you in so many ways and I couldn't agree more.
I'm always here if you EVER need to vent -- even if it IS me -- just tell me, ha! I can handle it. :)
And now, I WANT THOSE BOOTS TOO!
And a clementine or three...
1.Yeah, terrible book.
4.I love having a second freezer!
5. Those days are so lovely.
7. Why do those boots have to cost so much?! Sheesh.
1. I'm impressed you actually finished!
4. I'm really excited.
7. Yeah...that's the only reason I didn't just flat out order them!
Last time I was here, I tried to make a point by point comment and blogger ate it. I don't have the energy for it now (not that you're not worth the energy), but I will say I ADORE Downton Abbey. I watched all of season 1 and the first two episodes of season 2 this past week during our week of snow days (WEEK of snow days!), and was so sad there weren't 30 more episodes to watch.
