Miscellany
Nov. 17th, 2009 10:13 pm1. I am attempting to see if the healing powers of soup apply even if you only make it, but don't eat it.
2. I am reading a book, Packaging Girlhood. I have mixed feelings about it, but it's certainly interesting. It also happens to be huge fodder for the writerly-minded. No girl-girl friendships? No supportive mothers? We can fix that!
3. I am finding also that I seem to have skipped an entire developmental layer of books. That is, I seem to have gone almost directly from picture books to adult books. I dabbled a little bit in what we now call YA but I thought it was kinda boring. Name a classic children's book that doesn't have pictures, and I probably haven't read it. (Or if I did, I read it for school.)
4. The babies are starting to reject naps. Among other excitement -- teething, tantrums, constipation...
5. I think it's time for tea.
