Mary says: Read this book.

This book was marvelous. It had the misfortune of being read throughout the tornado that was my obsession with the Twilight series ergo it did not get the focus it deserved, but still, read it. It's hilariously funny and devestatingly heartbreaking and only 240 pages. I just finished it this evening and surprised myself by actually blurting out a distraught "no!" at one of the revelations. I didn't even tell my mouth to speak, it just did.

Lately I've been spending a lot of alone time reading and thinking and eating atrociously. I daresay that is what has led to my five pound weight gain and my recent troubles with acid reflux. Nevertheless, I think it's been good mentally. Well, maybe not the weight gain. The weight gain has been very bad mentally and physically, but other things have been good. I don't really feel like going into details though.

I haven't written for quite awhile. I wonder what's been happening. Ari & Jim's wedding happened. JaneBash. Work - lots of work. I haven't been taking as many pictures though. I guess I sort of lost sight of why I made that resolution which was to pay more attention to my surroundings and value moments more. I mostly feel ok about it though because right now my camera's kind of craptastic. That's what happens when you drop it in McDonald's parking lots and let it get shifted down to the bottom of your purse with all your junk sitting on top. Sorry camera. I'd be more sorry though if this picture of Cece that could be beautiful wasn't all smeary. I like it anyway though and decided to share.

I'm going to go attempt to fold the clothes in my laundry basket that I washed three weeks ago and maybe do some dishes. Books are inspiring.
