Good morning, munchkins!…

Good morning, munchkins! Hope all the Americans among you are stuffed full of lovely holiday food. Mmm... Our pot pie came out delectable -- that might have had something to do with Kevin using a pound of butter in the flaky, melt-in-your-mouth crust. Oh, so not good for me. I admit, I've entirely been failing to diet in the last couple of weeks; I haven't been particularly bad, so I'm holding steady on the weight front, but I certainly haven't lost any weight either. It's going to take a concerted effort to get under 140, I think. We'll see if it happens. Tough, with the holidays coming up. Maybe not the best time to try to actively lose weight. Holding steady is probably something to be thankful for right there. :-)

Still no word from my editor. So, a little unclear on what I'll be doing today. There was some discussion of going shopping, actually -- Roshani's a little short on nice clothing, and there should be good sales today. She's going to call me back and let me know if she's actually up for that. If so, I'll go with her -- we might take Zoe with us, which should be a fun time. If not, then I think exam reading -- I have such a big stack of books, after all. I might lose myself in something eighteenth century; that sounds rather appealing. The letters of Lady Montague Wortley, for example. Or, if I jump forward a bit, I have such delectable choices as Disraeli's Sybil, Thackeray's Vanity Fair, or Cervantes's Don Quixote. Hmmm...

All sounds good. Will have to poke through and see what appeals.
