Alice Munro.  That's her name.  I'm reading The View from Castle Rock.  Well, I just started the forward.  I'll let you know her level of awesomeness soon.

I'm working on a little project that I'm so excited about and I want t o share pictures, but, firstly, I can't figure out how to open Image Capture on my computer to upload my photos, and our evenings are so full of homework and nail clipping and collapsing on the couch, that I forget to have Nathan help me.  Secondly, it's a surprise for someone, so I can't spoil the surprise.  Just thought I'd share that I'm excited.  Annoying, huh. :)  If you're afraid the surprise is not for you and you wish it were, I'll make you one too.  Or I'll give you the link to the youtube videos that show you how.

I went out for beer and hot chocolate with a friend last night.  My, how healthy that is (neither the beer nor the hot chocolate).  Laughing, being honest, sharing the same struggles.  It's like, wow.  I'm not very good at keeping up with people.  It had been 3 months since we'd talked.  As Riley would say, "I'm not really a person who calls people."  Riley always prefaces her preferences with, "I'm not really a person who..." all the time.  "I'm not really a person who likes fish."  "I'm not really a person who wants to go outside that much."  I think it's funny, so I like to use it. :)

I'm a person who needs to go walk the dog.
