I had a houseguest since Sunday, and put her on the train today. My word, but it's fun to go book-shopping with someone equally thrilled with finding books!

I have a huge pile of books that I aquired during her visit, and I'm sure that I also gained a bit of weight. How can one not introduce someone to the joy of a hot Krispy Kreme right off the line? And although I did intend to go to the pizza place at the mall, once we drove past The Cheesecake Factory, it was all over...

Is now a good time to mention that cheesecake is made from milk, milk has calcium, and women need calcium to keep strong bones? ;o)

And now we play catch-up, for the crits I was supposed to do before Sunday, that ended up waiting while I cleaned house.
