STATUS: Thinking I need more Starbucks. Yawn city, baby.

FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: Got this one from a friend who is also a mom, who was elated to discover her daughter wouldn’t have to experience needles, blood, and pain in order to get a back tattoo. Because now, they’re at Toys R Us.

The title of this post is random, as I was simply thinking about a cheap little restaurant in Surfside, South Carolina, that is renowned for it’s averageness. Or, if you’re not a fan of the way the steam from the buffet coats the windows with a milky film, you might rate it below average. But this review rates the restaurant straight down the middle. For what it’s worth.

Moving on, I’m replenishing my creative juices by reading, and I’ve got lots of good books thanks to Swaptree.com. I devoured One for the Money by Janet Evanovich, and can’t wait to get the next book in the series. I love the main character, Stephanie Plum, and it was such a fun, engaging read. After finishing OFTM at around 8:00 last night, I moved straight on to the Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and, I must say, I was literally shaking with emotion (fear and suspense, mostly) by the second page. What took me so long to read this book? I am hooked and want to run home and finish it tonight. I love how an amazing book does that.

I have a few more reads coming through Swaptree.com. One is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a classic that I just never had time for, and the other is Thou Shall not Dump the Skater Dude by Rosemary Graham. I’ve heard great things about this YA read, and I can’t wait to get into it.

So yeah. If I’m not writing or editing, I’m reading.

It’s a good life.
