I know that nobody wants to hear about how I accidentally threw up on myself today in the car, but for humor purposes, I must share. Imagine driving next to someone, you look over, and they are throwing up. Ugh. Gross and funny. My life is drawn to these predicaments. Blog fodder. Anyway, I got a day off work because of it, so I think it was worth it.
I started reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Kingsolver today. I was a little hesitant because I thought it just might be some hippie BS, (semi-related to an episode of 30 Days called “Off the Grid” about some Vegans) but the first chapter has been enjoyable. I have read two other books by Kingsolver called The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer. I immensely enjoyed both of those novels. She has this way of putting words together so richly that reading her work is like taking a bite of a delicious freshly baked brownie that is actually good for you. Although this is my first time reading her non-fiction, it has the same feel. Mmmm…brownies.

I got to page 18 on the eragon
Did you stop at page 18? If so I encourage you to keep reading. If you refuse, please mail me back my book.
Man you guys are loaded with the advertisements around here...
I've been told I need to read that book, but am too wrapped up in knitting and novels to do it right now.
Anyway, true story, I was often puking in the car while pregnant. Stephen would drive. It was usually on the way to doctor appointments and such. I'm sure it made a lot of other people sick. I tried not to look around at the other people in the other cars though so I wouldn't feel embarassed.
Ugh (concerning the advertisements), I tried deleting some and messed up our page because I didn't know what I was doing.
Hmmm....I think I would like to opt out of that part of pregnancy.
I'm still on page 18 but I plan to read it during lunch since I have no more Arrested Development (AD) to watch.
I did enjoy Eragon, but it is hard to compare with the simple witty humor of Arrested Development. I pity your lack of new AD's. I just started season 3.
