Seriously! I am feeling so down. What am I going to do without baseball? I don’t like professional football, hate pro basketball…should I start watching hockey? My son is a hockey freak and one of my daughters is getting into it.
Maybe I’ll do some cooking and baking and freeze everything for Thanksgiving.
So…interesting stuff, not me-related, well, some might be me-related.

I have a serious craving for the buttermilk fried chicken and cornmeal waffle with brown sugar butter & apple cider syrup. A SERIOUS craving.

I am thinking about switching my blog to this - http://www.tumblr.com/why-tumblr

So you all may or may not have been paying attention when I mentioned that I was reading Cutting for Stone - the book by Abraham Verghese. This is a book everyone loves, including my hubby and my sister. For the life of me, I could not get into it. I struggled to read half the book and then called it quits. However, another book about Africa has caught me tight - hooked me with the very first sentence and I have not been able to put it down. It’s a work of nonfiction but it reads like fiction - “I think I first realized something was wrong when our next door neighbor, oom Piet Oberholzer, was murdered.” Gripping from word one. Mukiwa, A White Boy In Africa, by Peter Godwin. When I finish this, I plan to continue reading his story in When a Crocodile Eats the Sun.
Oh…nice review for Daughters of Persephone here - http://realmsonourbookshelvesofficial.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-request-julia-rachel-barrett.html

Do some baking and some writing.
I’m off to Salem MA for the weekend along with 250 other family members.
I read the review and left a comment. Please make that buttermilk fried chicken and waffles! Wow that sounds good!
XXOO Kat
You are making me HUNGRY. I’m so ready for Thanksgiving and some good food! I’m missing the W. Series too. I cheered for the Rangers but they just didn’t have it this year. Kept telling Mr. Reg the Giants were just the better team. So though I was a bit sad for the Rangers I was happy to see such a class act win it.
I don’t see how you could have the blues. It looks like you have so many other things that you want to do, fill your down time with one of those. Wrte, read or just enjoy some quiet time. I’m sure you’ll find enjoyment in whatever you choose.
OMG, Amber, have a good time with 250 people! Hope you get to talk to everyone. Yes, I think I’ll bake up a storm!
Kat - oh no, I won’t make them, I want to go to Brown Sugar Kitchen and eat them! I’ve never made fried chicken…ever! Hey - where you been? I’ve missed you!
Reg - I know - everyone from Texas is sad, but this year, the Giants are sprinkled with magic dust - such an unlikely bunch of winners. It’s been so much fun and such a high - I really miss the excitement!
Rachel - it’s a combination of things, the end of the World Series and the roller coaster ride of a season, and the shortening of the days - always makes me feel a bit weird.
Julia, I think I’m bearing some of the same feelings right now. Between getting my first sale ready for a release, and nanowrimo, and the shortening of the day, I feel overwhelmed and lack the energy to get through it all. Here’s to finding our happy ground and pushing through the drudge.
Well, I’m a wishing it were warmer. Just ate a huge bowl of peanut butter crunch. Have started writing a new book for NANO and am doing all I can NOT to sit down and write it. UGH! Oh, and I took a nap!
Rachel - that’s why nano stays off my agenda. Too much.
Harris - a nap? I took one yesterday! Of course I was out of bed at 5 a.m. so I needed it. Yes, I do avoid working on the WIP at times. I know the feeling!
Sounds like you need to go to the Waffle House.
Fried chicken, yum. Read, write and cook. Sounds like an excellent plan.
Steph and Ciara - yup! Yum!
