(no subject)

What started out as an icky day turned into a very pretty one, so I need to take Reece out for a walk here after I finish with dinner.

I'm just excited, because a belated birthday present arrived today from a very dear friend. She ordered off amazon.com, and even though I have a wish list, she picked out some books that were still so very much on the mark in terms of what I like. I'm very appreciative and excited to read them.

And it shows just how well she knows me. :)

So...any Sandra Gulland fans out there? I got the Josephine B. Trilogy.

Now...I seriously need more book shelves. I'm running out of places to put my books, and I don't want to thin my already diminished collection (I had to get rid of a lot of books before we left Germany).

I still need to write a review of Puppy Chow is Better Than Prozac which is an autobiography about how a black lab puppy saved a bipolar man from killing himself. I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it. I didn't care for the writing style, but it's also hard to critique what someone has written about their personal life.

And I have Doris Lessing's The Good Terrorist to read for review still. Then on to the fun leisure stuff. Aside from my Josephine Bonaparte trilogy, I still have Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, which I picked up on a whim at Borders in Rochester.

Scrounging in the pantry and freezer

Dinner tonight:
- 1 box four cheese Rice a Roni
- leftover cooked and cubed smoked ham
- frozen peas

Cook together. Add cheese packet once rice is done. Stir until cheese coats all the rice.

Wow. Seriously...sooooo....good. Why haven't I done this before?

And I made Pillsbury crescent rolls to go with it.

This should probably go in trashy_eats.
