I guess I also did laundry, taking off the apron for that. Or maybe that was Friday, on which I also wore an apron. The days of the week are getting scrambled now, just like the eggs.
When I was out shopping, I saw some grinchiness--impatient driving, scowly face from a woman who thought my dad bumped her gigantic white SUV with his car door. He's 80, it's icy, the lot spaces were not designed for her gigantic car, etc. He did not dent or mark her car, but the scowl did not leave her face. Sigh...
But I have been a bad girl at Goodreads. While it's a great place to keep track of what you read, I don't keep good enough track. Also, I joined a lovely poetry reading group, and, while I am reading my usual amount of poetry, I am also not keeping up with the reviews there. I deserve a lump of coal.
Bad Girl at Goodreads was the alternative title for this entry. I thought better of it.

You are the last person on earth who should receive a lump of coal!
Thanks for the bright roses on a gloomy sky day!
In an odd coincidence, I just posted a link on my story blog to a story I wrote a couple of years ago. It too is called "Lump of Coal".
I do not know if the soy nuts will take root and grow in the belly, but I have a weird coincidink. Had a miserable couple days this week that I'm blaming on consumption of a large quantity of undercooked barley. Pretty sure it took root!
Do have a happy tummy!
Oh dear, if all that cooking plus laundry plus lots of reading makes for a slattern, then I know not how to classify myself! :) I, too, have been known to sport a flour-dusted apron lately (also forehead) and the laundry monster is never tamed. Also, I confess to being a Scrooge-y Mommy yesterday (better today). Enjoy all the sweets and the books.
Thanks, dears! Happy baking and cheery chores to all!
Seana, I found your story! Darkly funny! Christmas noir!
Happy Christmas, Kathleen. No coal, all diamonds. :)
Thanks for reading it, Kathleen. You are indeed a diamond!
Merry Christmas!
