Checking It Twice.
Six different kinds of cookies (details to come, but suffice it to say that 2009’s is a Very Smitten Christmas) into the office and into the mail. Bathroom is clean. Suitcase is packed (almost). Shopping is done (kind of). Books are picked out (The Mambo Kings Sing Songs of Love, The Lacuna, Shopgirl). Camera is dead (must buy batteries). One more veg pickup this afternoon, plus two packages waiting at the post office (my contacts I hope I hope). Amy at work made me the most hilarious calendar I have ever seen. Ten thousand errands left to run. A couple of Pandora hours left to use up. Got my boots on. Need a latte.
Back next week with a 2009 roundup. In the meantime: merry, merry, merry. I’m going home.

Ahh–The Lacuna! I am reading it now and blowing through it:
1) Because it’s a good read (of course, what with it being by BK)
and
2) The library has demanded it back by tomorrow. Yikes!

I tried reading Shopgirl at like 29 and didn’t like it. A few years later, I tried again and thought it was brilliant. So who knows? The important thing is you have lots to read and time to read it.
