I hate it when I smell like 'rained-upon, nervous sheep.' Must be a Julia thing...

I just got Julie and Julia to read ... and this makes me even more exited to read it. I might have to bump it up in the list!

Tee & Jenners: Welcome! How lovely to see you here! Yes, Julie and Julia is fab so far (I'm only 40 pages in) and I'm trying to finish it before the movie.
