1. It has been too long since I used the Aubrey-and-flying-saucer icon.
2. So my plan for the near future is: I'm going to finish reading The Queen of Attolia as quickly as possible without actually neglecting my child or giving up sleep. Then I'm going to read The King of Attolia in the same fashion. Then I'm going to cry because after that, there is no more Eugenides to be had, and my life will be empty and bereft of meaning. Except the part of my life that is spent doing housework and playing with the kid. So...most of my life will still have meaning. But a small part of it will not, and that will make me sad, thus the crying.

This chick is my new hero.
This post is particularly funny,
this post accurately portrays my relationship with horror movies, and
this one is possibly the single most hilariously true thing ever made available on these here internets. (Special thanks to
sarcasticval for mentioning this blog while she was here last weekend.)
4. I firmly believe that if my husband gets me
one of these for Christmas, somehow all of my problems will be solved. They're so pretty and useful-looking! Surely my important pieces of paper would not dare get lost ever again if I had one!
