cat + laser pointer + Jennifer Cruisie book

I swear that now that we have Molly and Mary, I'm not going to fill my diary with inane kitten stories, or insights about purring on laps and somnolent contentment and what else do you need and what all. I'm not. But dang, it seems like God invented cats with laser pointers in mind, doesn't it? Cat + laser pointer = me narrowly escaping peeing myself laughing. I always have been easily amused.


I just finished reading Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. Actually, I got it from the library yesterday, and I read it yesterday afternoon and evening, and, well, much of the night, too, if you really must know. (Jennifer Crusie is like that). Anyway, this book was recommended to me by a source I trust, and she was right; I obviously enjoyed it well enough to have a hard time putting it down. One thing I'm not sure she was right about, though, is that the book would change my perspective about dieting. It didn't so much. You'd have to read it to know exactly what I'm talking about. So please do -- go check it out of the library or pick it up at your local independent bookstore or Barnes and Noble or whatever, and read it, and tell me how realistic you think it is. It's not Tolstoy or Dickens but still, a book discussion is a book discussion! :)
