Reading Recs
What’s the best book you read in the last five years? Or ever? Or in the last week?
I need to load up my Nook for the next three weeks. With a full 24-hours (one way!) of travel time plus downtime on the ol’ hmoon and the return trip, I need…a lot. And I want a lot more than the current Bestseller list.
Whatchyoogotforme?
Does anyone know a weather god who can take this chance of THUNDERSTORMS ON MY WEDDING DAY down to zero?
Please and thank you?

Tonight I also Had Chicken for Dinner.
I grabbed the last rotisserie chicken at the grocery.
The kid behind the counter said “must be your lucky night.”

Tonight I Ran.
Today I hated my job; disliked my body; got overwhelmed by my to-do list; and missed my grandfather.
Today I resented the media for being so god damn irresponsible and hated politics for being so god damn cynical.
Today I felt sad.
So I ran.
I did it for me, make no mistake. But I was propelled by thoughts that there are three people who will never feel sad or have a bad day again; that there...

greggy-bennett:
Hi everyone! It’s Friday, and Queen Donna is coming to town, but my spirit animal Big Ang is going to help me tell you all about my week, including the story about the old timey speakeasy I went to last night (I already can’t, and you won’t be able to either).

IT'S A WEDDING!
This is Lizzy: Second cousin. Precious thing. And soon-to-be flower girl.
Today, when Lizzy’s flower girl dress arrived in a box and her mother asked her what she thought was inside, she replied:
A WEDDING!!
That is the kind of enthusiasm we are looking for around here, kid. Bridal party MVP!

The Berenstain Besties and Too Much Champagne:...
We hugged and snugged. A lot.
We snacked. A lot.
We saw a lot of beautiful things.
But most we were just together.
C’etais parfait.
Mes amis.
I’m off for Paris in three days.
There are two critical factors in making our in-country plans:
1. we have only 72 hours
2. we really love wine
Send me your must-do’s, can’t misses and coulda/shoulda/woulda’s, s’il vous plait?

Please send up a prayer or two [or a dozen or a million] for my friend, J. Her sweet baby boy, Brittain, who was diagnosed with a terminal illness at 5 months old, passed away peacefully yesterday.
Her strength and faith in the face of such…unfairness…is truly something.
Something to be in awe of; something to aspire to.
And something that, I think, is possible because of [and...
