It does, doesn’t it? It’s like “light.” Gone Girl is a thriller, for sure, but also very well written. I read an article a while ago about how books that get pigeon-holed (in this case as a “mystery”) get overlooked for major awards, despite glowing reviews.

I really hope you get better soon. That’s really too long to be sick. Take care.

I put the sweater on, 10 minutes later I’m ripping it off – on, off, on, off, all day long.

GC is convinced it’s a girls-only illness, since we know all kinds of women with it but not a single man.

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:07:55 +0000 http://www.knitnut.net/?p=6087#comment-102365 I love it! Cockatiels are such underrated parrots – they put their whole heart into everything they do. I think it’s so sweet that his person accompanies him on the piano.

If you’re looking for heart warming action, you should also watch this video of a cockatiel whistling with accompaniment. I love it.Cockatiels are just so darn earnest.

Get well soon!

The cold and rain isn’t helping, I’m sure. When the sun
is shining, try to warm yourself for 15 minutes; it’ll
do wonders.
Best wishes, Shannon

It has been making the rounds. The coughing is the worst. When I had it, Dr. Internet told me that it would end after three weeks and it did! So hang in there.

I read Gone Girl, which I would describe as suspense rather than mystery. One in Every Crowd sounds interesting – I was one of those oddball kids that never fit in. Still am, I guess.
