A Blog Entry Is On Here Now

If you are reading my blog, I just want to say:  Thanks for giving birth to me, Mom.  I’m not sure anyone else would still be sticking with me. 

So….guess what Mom?  I read a whole novel!  When I should have been sleeping in case somebody got hungry at a time of day when only college students should be eating. 

And not just any novel.  A Big Thick Book worthy of being called epic.  Thanks to (former?) Blog Reader Friend Courtney, I thoroughly enjoyed Seven Types of Ambiguity by Elliot Perlman.  I loved the way the story came together, told by six narrators.  It reminded me of Jonathan Franzen’s writing style, but I didn’t hate every single character quite as much. 

This is the kind of book I am talking about, people.  I mean, person (Mom).  Please recommend some equally fantastic books so I can read them.  Instead of washing and sterilizing bottles, doing laundry, grocery shopping, making lunch, being on time for work, re-stocking the diaper drawer, refilling the wipes caddy, putting away toys, changing the sheets, packing for daycare, filling out the daycare form, labeling clothes, unloading and reloading the diaper bag and making a to-do list with all of these items.

(very) light reading on her own.
