I've been a busy bee - I made my friend Madeline some note cards to send along with her funny thank-you card. I even put my Cricut to use - one of these days I'll make something really spectacular with it! I've only had it a year or so - sometimes gadgets elude me. The Cricut and its design software is one of those gadgets - but I will master it one of these days...
As you can see by the stack of books on my table - I've had my nose in a book since last weekend. I read the rest of Ford County Stories by John Grisham. I think those short stories are some of his best work yet. I also read Dying for Mercy by Mary Jane Clark - very suspenseful. She's closing in on her former mother-in-law for the title of Queen of Suspense! I'm in the middle of Patricia Cornwell's The Scarpetta Factor - and I am once again questioning why I even bother with her books any more. Her plots just get more and more outlandish and I had forgotten how seriously sick I am of how perfect and noble she makes Kay out to be. Lucy's angst is now just annoying, Benton is as big a jerk as he ever was and Marino - well, just when you think he can't get any more stereotypical detective on you - he's off and running on another cliched tangent. I'd pass it along to Richard right now but I hate not finishing a book. Besides, I have to finish it so I can complain about how excruciating reading it was. I've only ever not finished two books in my life - both of them in the past year - imagine that! It took me this long to figure out that it's really okay not to finish reading a book if you don't like it. And I've been reading since I was four!
