The Runcible Pen: 7QT 14: My British Things
http://susandcook.blogspot.com/2015/08/7qt-14-my-british-things.html
Notes on an eclectic life. Friday, August 7, 2015. 7QT 14: My British Things. I've been away for a month in the UK, and the new semester is looming, so here's a super-quick Seven Quick Takes. Having lived in the US (mostly Mississippi) for twenty years, I often feel an outsider in both countries. On the plus, I *think* I'm better able to see the good and not-so-good in each culture. Here's some. Light-hearted examples of British Things I'm always grateful to get back to. BUT the bins, the bins! My parent...

http://susandcook.blogspot.com/2015/06/7qt11-always-look-on-bright-side-of-life.html
Notes on an eclectic life. Friday, June 12, 2015. 7QT11: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Lately, I've been keeping up with Better Than Eden. A serene baby splashing in the tub? His name is supposed to be Odysseus, but he turned out to be stupid rather than cunning, so we had to downgrade him to Odie. I have trouble thinking of the right. what do you call them? My daily goal is to have breakfast and be dressed by 9. I do mean am If the baby is half dressed by lunchtime, that's a bonus. New life, n...

Notes on an eclectic life. Friday, May 29, 2015. 7QT9: The Waiting Game. What does one do while pretending not to wait for a birth? 1 Read something BIG. After coming across happy readers of Kristin. 2 Tackle the almost-final frontier of decluttering. In the shape of our wine closet aka living room cupboard. I forgot to take a before picture, but to give you some idea of the overall clutter, here is a picture of the living room after I recently rescued a flying squirrel from the cats:.

The Runcible Pen: January 2015
http://susandcook.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Notes on an eclectic life. Friday, January 23, 2015. Seven Quick Takes, Vol. 2. So, here's a look at my reading week, to show you how eclectic (mixed up) it is. 2 For my early American literature class, I'm reading William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. 4 As part of a critique group, I may read a chapter from a Victorian cosy mystery, an eighteenth century cornish whodunnit, a 1930s soft-boiled American crime novel, or a story of London gypsies or Scottish pirates. Currently the General Prologue.

Notes on an eclectic life. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. And now for something completely different. I just had to post this, so here are my flimsy reasons:. 1 It has gems of information useful to a historical novelist. 2 It contains references to classic literature. 3 It proves that if you 'suffer' from night time wakefulness, you shouldn't worry, but get up and read a historical novel or neglected classic!
