Best friends ever!!

I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends. After reading my angst-ridden screed the other day, these two got together and planned a surprise for me. Today they are breaking into my house and painting my nursery!! Fortunately Y called me up last night to give me some advance notice, so I was able to get the last of the crap out of the nursery, including a tablecloth which hadn't been washed in about a year (I ... don't know. I don't know how it wound up there, or why it was there for a year. But it is in the dirty laundry now). I can't wait to see what the room looks like--these ladies are so awesome!

Thanks Judith and Yvonne! Now next time my mother-in-law asks if the room is painted I can say "YES!" There aren't enough words to express how much you guys rock and how grateful I am.

Books

Annie Dillard: The Living: A Novel
Currently reading.
Azar Nafisi: Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books
Part feminist outcry against the Islamic regime in Iran, but mostly a love letter to books. Nafisi looks at Lolita, Daisy Miller, The Great Gatsby, and Pride and Prejudice not only as works of literature themselves, but through the lens of students during the heyday of the Islamic revolution. My only caveat? It helps to have read the books she discusses.
Lauren Weisberger: Everyone Worth Knowing
I picked this up at the airport. After hearing about my grandmother's death I just couldn't deal with "Silent Spring," and this seemed less objectionable than Nora Roberts or Michael Crichton. I finished it, mainly to see if it could really keep up the flow of utter awfulness and banality right up until the end. Easily the worst book I've read since that romance novel about the Corgi. Avoid at all costs.
Amy Stewart: Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers
One of the most interesting nonfiction books I've read recently. Stewart examines the cut-flower industry, and you'll never look at flowers the same way again. A must-read for anyone who buys flowers.
