From the division of shameless rip-offs

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend.  Mine was spent fretting about Lili as she barfed everything up her little tummy encountered.  We celebrated Valentine's Day on Sunday instead with a family lunch followed by watching a movie all snuggled on the sofa.  That pretty much made up for Valentine's Day in my book.

I shamelessly stole this literary list from Kat who shamelessly ripped it off from another blogger.  Sort of my way of encouraging the circle of thievery among bloggers who knit.  Please, feel free to steal from me.

Poor Lili :( I hope she's feeling better.

The lists change. I'm surprised how many I have read on that list. But then there are other lists where I haven't read nearly that many. You read, which is more than many people can say.

[Chris]

You haven't read Charlotte's Web?! Indeed - better get on that one. :)

It looks to me like you favor fantasy and oddments. Nothing wrong with that.
