Friday Five: Happy, Happy Things
As all of my friends on Facebook know, Wednesday was a no good terrible day that followed up a lousy Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. In other words, last week just sucked. I'm glad it's over. I hope that anyone else reading this had a better week, but in case you didn't, I thought I would share a few things that kept me from heading to Brooklyn to jump off the bridge.
- Louise Rennison has a new series starring her new MC, Telulah Casey. Also, The Confessions of Georgia Nicholson has so many books in it, I still have some I haven't read yet.
- Books by like-minded people are readily available in the humor section of my local bookstore. (By like-minded, I mean being like me when I want to throw everyone I meet through a window.)
- The Happy Things Blog
- The Supreme Court's recent ruling on healthcare reform. (Um, conservatives who are upset and planning to move to Canada: I'm happy to come over and help you pack, but I think you should know that Canada, like a lot of the civilized world, has also fallen to the new "Socialist" order when it comes to taking care of sick people.)
- While nasty people are unpleasant to deal with, dealing with them is a temporary state for the rest of us; it's a permanent state for them.
Happy Friday!
