1. Three therapy sessions in, and I’m starting to forget why I’m in therapy. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. It makes me feel better; it’s just nice to have a space to spill for an hour.
2. Things making me pretty happy lately: Pittsburgh Penguins playoff hockey. My new pants.
3. One thing really making me unhappy lately: that I can’t seem to string together blog posts. It seems that my blogging is in a very unsustainable state at this point. Been here before, to be sure.
4. Mother’s Day for me was so-so. I managed to get a pedicure and do quite a bit of reading. (Current novel: NOS4ATU by Joe Hill.)
5. Joe Hill looks a lot like his father.
6. Need to get my hands on a non-fiction book next. Thinking of looking for Sugar, Salt, Fat at the library. Anyone read it yet?
7. The Ford Flex is a gas hog. This is not surprising.
8. I haven’t been crazy about much music in 2013 so far, but this is what I do like: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album Mosquito, and Vampire Weekend’s new single “Diane Young” (album due out today).
That’s all I got today. How about you?
Other than the gas hogginess, how do you like the new car?
I like it very much. The interior space is fantastic. We haven’t taken it on a roadtrip yet, so looking forward to seeing how it packs up. Handles well — drives just like a car. So happy the kids have some elbow room. It’s just comfortable for everyone!
” It seems that my blogging is in a very unsustainable state at this point.” Amen.
And have you read Gulp by Mary Roach? Good stuff.
And I mean to commiserate, as in, my sporadic blogging is all I can manage, too, not reprimand you for your blogging schedule! 🙂
I can’t believe that Steven King’s son is 40. I’m old.
[…] Red Pen Mama posted about a book by Joe Hill, who apparently is the son of Steven King. Like most people my age, I read several King novels back in the 1970s and 80s. So I thought, Isn’t that great? Steven King’s little boy is growing up to be a writer. Then I Googled him and discovered he is 40. […]
