My goodness, woman, you need live-in help, and I do NOT mean Murphy.<BR/><BR/>I haven't heard of this book or author before (we HAVE firmly established I don't get out much I believe)--so off I go to the bookstore to see if I can find this book. Just from what you've shared I am certain it's right up my English Lang & Lit alley ;-)Wholly Burblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999272388164733321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-32842765083581892592007-12-06T13:57:00.000-05:002007-12-06T13:57:00.000-05:00Yikes, I hope things will calm down as you get clo...Yikes, I hope things will calm down as you get closer to the end of the month. If you can, try to take just a little time out for yourself. I got stressed out just reading about all the things you have to do. :)nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-67220980657137352332007-12-06T09:22:00.000-05:002007-12-06T09:22:00.000-05:00hi there! i just found your blog through cr8buzz....hi there! i just found your blog through cr8buzz...<BR/>i'm in michigan, too. ann arbor is such a great town! my sister went to u of m and i went to eastern so...i was always visiting her...much more to do in ann arbor!<BR/>anyway, i'm going to have to check that book out! i loved jane eyre! <BR/>feel good. have a great holiday season!suchsimplepleasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614929528400567339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-30624365549360072872007-12-06T07:08:00.000-05:002007-12-06T07:08:00.000-05:00A rather wretched run of days, indeed!

The guy has overstayed his welcome in a number of places that I know. He is a very unwelcome guest. But first get your strength back and get healthy. And come back and tell us how you have triumphed over the December downers!!Fourier Analysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689357373595434853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-14915848556255594042007-12-05T16:24:00.000-05:002007-12-05T16:24:00.000-05:00There's a reason Hanukkah is 8 nights - it gives y...There's a reason Hanukkah is 8 nights - it gives you a chance to do something. We're on night two and still haven't "gotten around" to lighting candles. Do you think we're going to hell? If we get them all lit by December 25th is that okay? Speaking of which, can you still get a tree on the 24th? Oh goodness, drink some egg not and just hang in there!Flower Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611806187828172442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-86612017059685746702007-12-05T07:50:00.000-05:002007-12-05T07:50:00.000-05:00Your Murphy sounds like my Murphy's evil twin!

Hopefully the rueful Celt won't stick around for too long.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the book rec. I'm looking for new reads now. I'm about 20 pages away from finishing my reread of the Pullman trilogy (I couldn't bring myself to finish it last night because then it would be... over) and today I start the "new" Follet book. I'll check Fforde out. I've seen the books in my daily travels to the bookstore (yes, I bring MJ up there daily, it's a nice walk for both of us) but have never committed.CableGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392330449567457998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-63177794710141400162007-12-05T06:01:00.000-05:002007-12-05T06:01:00.000-05:00Hmmm... maybe we should be meeting for strawberry ...Hmmm... maybe we should be meeting for strawberry daquiris instead of tea?annohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102616203481686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-76970620869928012302007-12-05T00:57:00.000-05:002007-12-05T00:57:00.000-05:00Murphy is a permanent resident at our house.
