I just finished reading A Ship Made of Paper by Scott Spencer. It's written so well that the situations the characters were in made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn't read it all in one sitting. I'd have to put it down and leave it for a few days. But I'm glad that I read it. In some weird way, it made me love my husband more.

When will you be online? Better yet, in town? I may be *gasp* moving.
