Spring Forward
Did you notice that I didn't include an exclamation mark at the end of this title? Is it killing me inside? Yes. I have a problem. I call it enthusiasm, but I imagine other people have other names for it.
I had a strange week. Out for Vietnamese food with two dear writing friends on Tuesday, in between spring rolls and my tofu curry I felt a cold take over my body. I'm the kind of person who gets really distracted by physical things. If I have a headache I am only half in the room. Anyway, work was crazy, and because chefs are tough and do not call in sick, and also because chefs are afraid of baking and no one could make all the pies and cakes and cookies I needed to make, I spent the week working, and then home, in bed, reading. My fever finally broke last night. I can't wait to go outside!
What I am reading: Last night I finished I'm Glad About You by Theresa Rebeck. I'm still digesting it, but I have to say how inspired I am by how honest the book is, and how generous the author is with her characters. They are allowed to be full, flawed people. This book made me laugh out loud and cry deeply. I couldn't recommend it more.
What I am listening to: David Rawlings Machine's Nashville Obsolete. I am one of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings biggest fans. I love the music that they make--it's both modern and traditional at the same time. They are story tellers as much as they are musicians. I love them so much I gave my main character David's last name. Here is a video they made of the first song on Nashville Obsolete, The Weekend. http://www.daverawlingsmachine.com/vi...
In the kitchen: As I said above, this week in the kitchen was about getting through, not creating. I'm looking forward to a different experience this week!
Book news: It's a quiet time in book world, but I did receive the most wonderful blurb from Brenda Bowen author of Enchanted August and I have a total daydream of doing a New England tour with her. Also on the book cheer front, I received my first tweet from a stranger who read (and loved!) The City Baker's Guide to Country Living. It is unbelievably exciting to wake up to a Twitter notification telling you someone loved the thing that you made and also love. https://twitter.com/docbunny604/statu...
Random cheer: I couldn't decide between two cheery animal stories.
here is a video of a baby rabbit who was born with deformed back legs, so his owner made a tricked-out wheelchair made out of a sock and a tiny roller-skate.

and here is a story about a penguin that returns every year to live with the man who saved him from an oil spill. Get out the tissues. You were warned.

Happiest of weeks! Enjoy all the extra light!
