Obsessed with knitting
I've been reading, yes I have. Believe me, that never stops.
But I've also been knitting. A lot. And thinking and reading about knitting.
I'm a lifelong knitter. Like, nearly every day since I was 7. And with this bitter cold weather we've had, all I want to do it wrap myself up in a whole heap of wool.
So I've been poring over knitting books and websites lately too.

"Mom.... you're such a nag.....but, um, thanks....."
Lately I've been nagging my son a LOT about finishing the details of some of his assignments. Especially the "make up" worksheets to earn back some point on some less-than-awesome grades on quizzes and tests.
Wednesday night I was the meanest mom in the world.

Daniel Woodrell - Winter's Bone
I'm assigned to read Daniel Woodrell's newest book, The Maid's Version, for The Maine Readers' Choice Award Longlist, but I decided to preface that book with an earlier Woodrell, Winter's Bone.
It is a visceral, gripping novel, revealing a slice of life that is often ignored in America... grinding rural poverty.
