Day 93 of the "What are you reading, and why?" project. Yesterday I mentioned a dog and time travel, and today I'll tell you that a beautiful random stranger who came into the store is now reading The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger, because her friends kept recommending it, and we had a copy! (Now we don't. But another might come in.)So it turns out that today I am mentioning a dog and time travel, too. Time travel above, "dog" in the expression "Hot diggity dog!" that my grandpa used to say. Or, in this case, blog diggity dog! I have been given a Blogdiggity Award, and hereby pass it on.
Blogdiggity Award

Susan at Mythology and Milk listed me in announcing her own Blogdiggity Award from Coffee Lovin’ Mom! So I will pass the milk/cream and sugar around the coffee table, though I take mine black!
Many thanks to Susan for putting me on her list of Blogdiggity bloggers! And thanks to Coffee Lovin’ Mom for blogdigging the amazing Susan, cyborg poet and cupcake warrior.
7 Things:
1. I read a lot. But you knew that.
2. Inside my head, I am the girl singer in a band called Midlife Crisis, and I lead a church choir called Fishnets for Jesus. Yes, we all wear fishnets.
3. Outside my head, I have mountain bluets blooming, yellow columbine and deep mauve wild columbine, and purple & magenta clematis on the fence.
4. The heating unit on my coffee maker just broke, a minor domestic disaster.
5. I drink way too much coffee at work and I get the boss’s “sad puppy face,” er, business discount at the coffeehouse across the street from the vintage bookstore in which I work, writing about books, the ideal job, other than the low pay and spending lots of it on vintage (or new, gently used) books, and coffee.
6. I have taken an accidental vow of poverty, but hope to exploit that soon by working on my “sad puppy face” expressions in the mirror. (My boss recommended I work on my “sad puppy face” after I asked him if I could just have that poetry book lying on the floor over there.)
7. I have acquired a new poetry book!

We Are Family
There are many more blogdiggity blogs out there that I visit and read, and some of these may be private, etc. or I am not able to link them due to my technology challenge, but these are a few fun blogs…though, like Susan, I am too shy to tell all the bloggers….sigh.
Meanwhile, I am reading: the poetry book I found on the floor, the next novel for book group, and (re-reading several times) a poetry chapbook I love and get to review for an online magazine. I will tell you more about it when I can post a link to the review!
