I just read an amazing book which I'm prepared to bet you haven't read. The librarian tells me that I was the first one to check it out since it was purchased..six years ago. Did you know that a man named W.C. Minor, a primary contributor to the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, did it all from inside Broadmoor Insane Asylum, where he lived as an inmate? Because of schizophrenia manifesting as extreme paranoia....and guilt...not to be a spoiler, but the man felt that perhaps God would forgive him for certain spicy thoughts if he..well. Too bad that eighty is a bit old to start a new career as a castrato singer. A thrilling read! *bright smile*

ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute dress, I want one.
ReplyDeleteYou are SO A~DOT~ABLE it's frightening!
ReplyDeleteI love that you paid more for the cat than you did for the dress.
Don't worry about being single. After you move, hang out at the bookstore alot and all will be well.
Congratulations on graduating!!
