The Time Has Come

Looks like we're back to working on the house, my husband just got home from the Despot (Home Depot) and I'll find out soon whether they had the supplies he needs to jack up the house. Okay, I just saw him pass by the window and he was carrying something into the backyard. I guess I better get off my lazy blogging ass and see what he's got going. I think I'm going to start prepping the house for painting, something I've been looking forward to all summer ... psych. Updates to follow.

So, do you know about the oops shelf at
Home Depot? Paint that folks ordered
but either didn't like or didn't pick up.
I am surprised how many don't know about it.
There is paint there of all kinds usually
for $3 to $7 per gallon. Inside and outside
paint as well as stains. Check it out. Good luck with the house raising.

Good Books

J. M. Coetzee: Disgrace
I guess I'm just a sucker for Booker Prize winners. Here's another one of my Top 5 authors of all times. What a book, emotionally draining, thought provoking, but oh so excellent. Should be required reading for everyone.
Ian McEwan: Enduring Love : A Novel
Ian McEwan is in the TOP 5 of my favorite authors. He is an excellent writer, and in my opinion this is his best. What a disturbing yet thought provoking book, a subtle morality tale that leaves you breathless. If you haven't read any of his books start with this one, you won't be disappointed.
Nigella Lawson: Nigella Bites: From Family Meals to Elegant Dinners -- Easy, Delectable Recipes for Any Occasion
I have to say, her version of fried chicken is delicious. And the haloumi bake (if you can track down the haloumi cheese) has become one of our weekly favorites, YUM!
Augusten Burroughs: Running with Scissors
I read this book on my honeymoon, a nice 10 day long sojourn on a deserted Caribbean island with no electricity. A great opportunity to read and I finished this book on the first day. It ruined me for anything else, I loved it so much anything else I tried to read was a let down. This is a very special book, disturbing, but special. Augusten Burroughs is an amazing man, his second autobiographical book "Dry" is excellent well. A real unvarnished journey into the life of an alchoholic.
Huston Curtiss: Sins of the Seventh Sister : A Novel Based on a True Story of the Gothic South
I read this book in a day and a half, I couldn't put it down. If you're a fan of twisted southern fiction with strong female characters, then you'll love it.
jim harrison: True North
I loved this book. I'll admit that I'm a little partial because he's from Northern Michigan and lots of his books are set there, but I mean it when I say this is a very special book. Jim Harrison speaks to me on so many different levels, I can hear his voice coming out through the pages so clearly. And I love the way he portrays women in his books, he is very thoughtful, sometimes sexist, but most of the time dead on. His books always have great sex scenes, never cheesey, always totally real. If you've never read one of his books start here and work backwards, or pick up Legends of the Fall, one of his best.
