I can’t remember how I stumbled upon Kilt Dead – is it written by the author who did that Garden Spells book? Or maybe that tea shop in Charleston mystery? Whatever. I know I reserved it because I was amused by the title, that’s a great way to choose a book, right?
It’s a great title but not a great book. Not a bad book, either. Just what you’d expect. A little chick lit. A little mystery.
Remember my birthday? Remember when I spent a whole weekend catching up on my blog feeds and cleaning out my email boxes? Ah memories, wonderful memories. 10 days have passed. My inboxes are full and I’m behind on both reading blogs and writing blog posts. Damn.
On another note, for those who are even slightly interested in how I am handling “TW’s new job”. Without going into detail, let’s just say I’m amused. Incredibly amused. Everyday. Even when I am bitching because she’s worked 12 hours straight and not fixing me lunch or cooking dinner or assisting with the great IKEA caper of 2007 – I am still amused. It’s quite possible that I’ve never been this amused about anything else in my whole life. Yea, I’m THAT amused. You’d be amused too.
Now – back to work so I can try and play catch up on blog reading, blog writing and library book reading.
TW is nuts and we are certainly NOT going back to the big blue and yellow box today. No. Not for any reason. No.
We spent 10 hours there yesterday. 10. The van is so full of IKEA that I’m somewhat worried that we’ve exceeded the vehicles capacity and we may be dragging the ground on the drive home today. I’m also very worried about where we might put the stuff when we unload the van tonight. I wonder if I can con (or bribe) Michelle and Chris into moving all of the current office furniture into the Florida room before we get home…

On October 24th I’ll be blogging in support of the Mothers Act. I’ll also give my senator a call. How about you?

Do not let the fact that it took me more than a week to finish Dishwasher: One Man’s Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States stop you from picking this book up today. I loved it. Maybe because I’m a fan of dishwashing? Or maybe because I’m a fan of fringe jobs, fringe people, fringe lifestyles. Or maybe because it was just fun.
It left me with a longing to start my own 50 state challenge. It left me wondering which Italian restaurant he dished at in Gainesville. It left me disappointed that I had never stumbled across the Dishwasher Zine.
I loved the book and love Dishwasher Pete.
