I am having a poop month. Several months. Anyway, I've lost track. Point is, my day is not going so fantabulously. Making phone calls and getting faxes and signing releases have consumed my afternoon. So, because I am still hanging in (barely), I am making this an opportunity to hear about nice/fun/or otherwise distracting things from other people's lives.

I will start. I had three library books I needed to return, and two of them had been eaten by a black hole. I asked Ellie if she knew where either was. One she said was on her bookshelf. She was right. For the other, her response was to touch her chin thoughtfully and say, "Mmmm. Might have seen that somewhere." And, when pressed, clarified by saying, "Yeah, I've seen it around." So I read between the lines and decided that "around" was code for her closet. And I was right. And so now I don't have to buy a book from the library. Which is a good thing.
