Had my ultrasound breast biopsy on Monday; should know something by the end of the week. 🤞
Oh, and you'll love this, Misty. After seeing the dentist for a new crown (luckily not a root canal), another crown broke, so I get to go in tomorrow and deal with that. As my doctor would say, it's a good thing you're body's letting you know you're alive. 😂
#WondrousWednesday
Thanks for the tag, @Eggs! 😘
1. ... seeing the hummingbirds in my backyard.
2. Tagged: CROCODILE ON THE SANDBANK with the #bakerstreetirregulars
3. •Matt and I go to work (😱) for the next two weeks proctoring the AP exams at our old high school. •We then plan on heading up north for a few days--our first trip with Kate and Pippa in our new car ... maybe another 😱.

Another month gone. Wasn't it just #Scarathlon? 😂
I am devastated that C.J. Sansom has died. He was the author of my 2nd favorite detective series featuring Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer in the era of the Tudors who suffers from kyphosis. I can't imagine not having another Shardlake mystery. I think I'm going to need to revisit all 7 of his novels. Anyone care to join me?

Now I can't get this song out of my head. If you haven't seen Tom Holland lip sync to this tune, you should. ☔️

#bakerstreetirregulars @CatLass007 @StayCurious
This was written in 1975! 😱 How can you not love a late-Victorian-self-sufficient-no-nonsense-badass female archaeologist protagonist who travels to Egypt in search of antiquarian objects and the freedom to do as she pleases? Throw in some worthy sidekicks and adversaries as well as a mummy-run-amok, and you have one heckuva fun historical detective read. I see more Amelia Peabody in my future.

I'm meeting three of my retired friends from the English department at my ol' high school for dinner and to discuss BABEL (we're a book club, too)--something fun to do over the “bleh“ that was last week. 💙🩵💙
#WonderousWednesday
@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😘)
1. Without a doubt, my mom. I miss her every day.
2. Matt and my two GSDs.
3. I love the family-friend worlds of the PEANUTS and MUTTS comics. And HARRY POTTER.
#WeirdWordWednesday #weirdwords @CBee
To be fair, I think we also need to add polyHERSter and polyTHEIRSter to the dictionary. 😀
pickMy reactions to reading this in my teens and early 20s: what Gothic romance, oh, Byronic Maxim! Ah, love! I loathe Rebecca! #theylivedhappilyeverafter
My reactions as someone in her late 50s: The unreliable masochistic narrator is desperate for a father-like husband with the last name de WINTER (sterility, coldness) and a first name of Maxim (a rule of conduct) to be completely submissive to. But did I still love it? YES. #agirlcanstilldream
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 😘)
1. A native Phoenician who still lives here but who harbors a heart yearning for mountains, pine trees, and lakes.
2. I couldn't think of a book taking place in Phoenix, but the opening of the film PSYCHO by Alfred Hitchcock was filmed here! 🤩 I also tagged my favorite D. Gabaldon book, OUTLANDER. She's lived in Williams, AZ (NW of Phoenix) for years, and is a local favorite.
Tag, you're it!
#motivationalmonday @Cupcake12 (thanks for the tag! 😘)
1. Clean, organize, #LitsyLove letters.
2. Kate and Pippa, my girls.
3. I'd be the goose Lyo-Lyok from THE SWORD IN THE STONE as she teaches Wart (disguised as a goose) how to fly over the North Sea.
4. √: THE CROCODILE ON THE SANDBANK. Fun read so far.

I have (sorta) two:
1. I never met him, but Charles Shulz called me when I wrote him, asking if he'd sell me one of his comics to give to my mom for her 50th birthday (she was a PEANUTS fanatic). He called me long distance on his dime and gave me one of his strips for FREE, even paying to ship it to me (see pic above). He said I wrote a heckofa letter. 🤩 #2 is ⬇️.
