Just popping in to say sorry I've been MIA, but it looks like it's gonna stay that way until after Thanksgiving.
However, I am looking forward to the holiday season, mainly because at this year's ginormous family Christmas gathering Hublet and I get to stay at my cousin's house in Camden, and my cousin and his wife believe it's haunted. Call the Ghost Hunters! So that'll be something different, and will help me keep my mind off of the fact that haunted or not, 200 year old homes are all DEFINITELY drafty. My wool socks are already packed.
I will be spending my post-turkey, pre-Christmas time cleaning the carpet and attending approximately 437 birthday parties for newly-minted 5 and 6-year-olds. From time to time I pause to ruminate on why I have no social life, and then I'm reminded that my social life currently consists of toting my son, aka the Life of the Freaking Party, to various indoor party palaces. Which, as long as there's an occasional foray to the local Pump it Up, is okay with me.
And I leave you with this quote to ponder:
“Proposing that Jane Austen was a lesbian or Sophocles a cross-dresser,” writes the literary theorist Terry Eagleton, “is one way for those who have nothing especially stunning to say about irony or tragic fate to muscle in on the literary scene. It is rather like being praised as an eminent geographer for finding your way to the bathroom.”
