Things I Do When Unsupervised

1. Stay up until all hours reading YA/middle-grade fiction. Last night it was _The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 1/2."
2. Wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling, pondering whatever book it was. It occurred to me that Adrian Mole might actually be the best example of "Show, don't tell" that I've read in a long, long time. Adrian never tells you anything, really, in this book. Stuff just happens, and you infer what it means from there. But by the end of the book,you've got such a complete picture of Adrian and the people who matter in his life, even if he doesn't, yet. Hmmm. Must read more books like this.
3. Eat waffles in bed. In the middle of the night. After brushing my teeth.
4. Sleep with clean laundry on the bed.
5. Skip workouts.
6. Leave the lights on--all of them--when walking the hound. Argh, oh argh. This does not bode well for our higher-rent abode.

Here are some photos. They are ALL BLURRY. This makes me angry. I suspect this is because the camera was on the wrong setting when I took them. So sad. 

1. My dog apparently prefers walking with strangers to walking with me.
2. Kirsten, "studying" at Delicious Cafe. Rrrright.
3. Tab, actually working. Clearly she is the only one, since I am busy taking photos.
4. Like this one, of the beauty school across the street. I really like the motto and the hand-painted storefront.

That's all for now. I'm going to try and make up for the workout I missed. I hate running. When did I stop liking it? God, I loathe it. I'd better go, before I talk myself out of it.
