Yes, the year 2010 is done, and I feel like all the bloggers I follow have written their Year in Review posts, with lists, stats, and general thoughts on their reading for the past year…and I’m finally just starting mine. But in the space of life, what’s a few days’…

I wish I had time to review books…
I have books on my bedside table that I’ve read and had hoped to review, or at least babble about briefly, here on my blog. Now, I’m trying to put a few things in better order (mostly paperwork that needs our attention, or just needs to be sorted out, examined,…
Back to school / Time passing
The boys go back to school tomorrow. I am already thinking ahead to the next day I’ll be able to take the day off from work, now that Jeff has a job again and the boys will be at school, and I’ll be able to have a real and true…
Yep, I’m still here…and a short reading update
(I wrote this during my break at work yesterday, then forgot to e-mail it home or save it to my flash drive. So even though it’s now Friday evening, just pretend that I posted it on Thursday evening.) In about the past week and a half, I’ve read two books…
What I would write if I had time, and quiet:
An essay on Lost, with a focus on the finale. Yeah, that’s the big one, if ever I might get to it. But also:a post for FreeVerse this coming Wednesday;a reading update, in which I’m stretched in at least four directions;a review of On Beauty by Zadie Smith, with nods…

A blah blah blog post
So I have a little bit of “home alone” time, and so many things that I could do, and a few that I probably should do, like walk on the treadmill (and that would also mean watching Lost from two nights ago, and it’s supposed to be an amazing episode,…
Software change further hampers blog communications
A couple days ago, my work changed the program they use to block people from accessing certain kinds of websites on work computers. I completely understand the need for this, and for the most part, I understand why they block the kinds of sites they block — because even if…
Surrounded by piles
It seems that it doesn’t matter how many plates I’m trying to keep in the air. What matters is that I’m fat. I was on a diet and exercise program — a LONG time ago now — that enabled me to lose 30 pounds. I’ve since gained it all back,…
Random
I was on my way to my therapy appointment on Tuesday, running late as usual, and I thought, “I wonder if I was late to my own birth.” Note to self: ask Ma when her due date was, and if I was running late then as well. My book group…
