8220;There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag—and never, never reading anything because you feel you ought…” - Doris Lessing (b. 1919), British novelist. July 13, 2013. Thought I'd devour Wild. By Cheryl Strayed as quick as I did A Walk in the Woods. But find myself picking it up maybe once a week. I am enjoying it, though, and I know I'll finish.

Wednesday, September 29, 2004. Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty space in your heart.". This morning as I walked along the lakeshore,. I fell in love with a wren. And later in the day with a mouse. The cat had dropped under the dining room table. In the shadows of an autumn evening,. I fell for a seamstress. Still at her machine in the tailor's window,. And later for a bowl of broth,. Steam rising like smoke from a naval battle. The love of the chestnut,.

Wednesday, January 05, 2005. A few reasons why I (sometimes) hate having curly hair:. I can never just hop in the shower, comb my hair, and go. You know those little hairs that everyone has around the hair line? You can't even see them half the time. they're really only noticeable in the right light. unless you have curly hair. Then you can see them ALL the time because they get curly and stick up all "willy-nilly" (hahaha that's what my grandma says). Cowlicks are sooo much harder to hide. What makes me...
