Don't worry about Miss Pettigrew! I discovered I had it in my cart when I went to order an exercise tape, last week, and the price had dropped. So, I figured I'd just go ahead and grab it for fun.

I wish I read about 3 times as fast. You should definitely read it, too. Then, we can talk. :)<BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/><BR/>That's actually my RIP stack from 2007 (I dug in the files)! I've read most of them, but The Mirror didn't grab me. I got my copy from Paperback Swap. Someday I'll get around to it! I loved Alas, Babylon . . . but you knew that, of course. <BR/><BR/>Booklogged,<BR/><BR/>I've always known I desired more space and light, but it wasn't till recently that I realized I really do have a <I>problem</I> with dark, dreary days and require lots of light. Boy, do I wish I'd known that when I bought the house in which we live. I do exactly what you do -- I go around throwing open windows, first thing in the morning. When it's dark, though, we just don't have good enough light in this house. We need to work on that.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-44588250052723758912009-02-14T18:55:00.000-06:002009-02-14T18:55:00.000-06:00I so agree with the space and light.

But, I usually do watch everything. I love a movie with extra . . . stuff, I guess. I think we'll watch that tonight. It seems like a good movie for Valentine's.<BR/><BR/>Very cool about the tutoring! I haven't managed to wrestle Euclid's Window away from my husband, since he discovered I was sneaking it away to read. Guess I'll have to wait my turn.<BR/><BR/>Jenclair,<BR/><BR/>Mine, too. But, I was reading on the porch when the UPS man brought me a book, a few days ago. He said, "You're reading?" and I told him, "Yes, I actually read all those books you bring me." And, then he was gone, whoosh. They do move fast.<BR/><BR/>I'm not getting enough space and light, which means I need to do some clutter removal. Clutter kills my will to live. I had a sneaking suspicion people already knew about the books and critters. ;)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-21131840461793441072009-02-14T07:57:00.000-06:002009-02-14T07:57:00.000-06:00My delivery people are in and out before I can get...My delivery people are in and out before I can get to the door! <BR/><BR/>I'm big on space and light, too.

One of ours was arrested for popping a dog, this week -- basically, he gave the dog a black eye when he was threatened. He'd been bitten before.
