Mkay?
Today was the very best hammock weather. I got back from dumping Uncle Matt off at work, if you call working for two hours and then going fishing with your boss work, that is... Anywho, I drove up the driveway, took one look at the beautiful blue sky and planned to jump in the hammock as soon as Chloe went down for her nap. That's exactly what I did. And it was glorious.
I love fall. It's my absolute favoritist. I love wearing jeans and a t shirt. Maybe a sweatshirt. I love the cool crisp mornings. And soup. I love me some soup in the fall. Oh and tea. Hot tea.

I've been reading like mad lately. I have read three of the best books ever in the month or so.
The Secret Life of Bees By Sue Monk Kidd
Same Kind of Different As me By Ron Hall and Denver Moore
The Help By Kathryn Stockett
I highly recommend all three, but The Help? I don't know how to put into words how much I loved this book. I've been sad when I've finished books before. The whole missing the characters, wondering what they are up to, etc... But this book.... When I would tear myself away to do something else, like laundry or eating... All I could think about was the book. Out for dinner with my husband, I say - "I can't quit thinking about this book." I finished last night and I just want to now what happens next.
Nothing. Because the people aren't real. It's just a story. I can't convince myself of these facts.
Read it. Then email me. I'd love to chat about it...
Princess Consuela, signing off.

I have The Help on my wish list on paperbackswap.com, and am eagerly waiting for a copy to surface. I also just finished the Secret Life. I like it, but wasn't totally blown away by it. I'd say good but not great.
