hey, what’s in this drink
001. We are snowed in. Like, for real. We live in a city, and we’re not even plowed.
001a. This wouldn’t be a problem except that we are OUT OF COFFEE. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth risking death by snowdrift to go remedy that. Seriously, it’s like Sophie’s Choice over here.
002. Is Giada pregnant again? She looks like she might be. Although right now she’s making a fruit salad dressed in butter, so maybe she’s just been wandering down the hall to hang out with Paula Deen.
003. Doughs in the fridge waiting to be turned into workplace goodies: three. Doughs still left to put together: three. Number of doughs containing butternut squash: one. But that’s only cause I made more scones yesterday.
004. I finished Beloved last night. I cried when I got to the line about Paul D wanting to put his story next to Sethe’s. Other than that, I feel like maybe somebody needs to talk me through what happened in this book. I’m the most fraudulent Lit major EVER.
005. Dinner with old roommates. Brunch with old friends. Crazy-lady writing jags. Presents wrapped in the funny pages. Fireplace. Naps. Peace. Quiet.
How was everybody’s weekend?

I don’t fully understand what went down in Beloved either, don’t worry.

Ahh. I was an English minor and I constantly feel like a fraud. As in, I read so fast that I have to keep a spreadsheet and I for sure cannot remember Beloved all though I read it and believe I was disturbed at many points. I’m glad you guys have snow, but get some coffee soon!

And I just wrote although as two words. I am shuddering.
