Bathtime

I've just had a lovely bath with Rosa, nearly an hour in hot water playing with the bubblebath bubbles, squirming around and cuddling. Bliss.

She kept licking my nose, for some reason. It was funny. And she said she was being a squirrel.

Rosa: "Santa Claus is giving me a birthday party. With presents. It's going to be my birthday!"

Her birthday's in November.

And while we're on the subject of TBR...

Finally finished the book I was reading: The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton by Jane Smiley. It took me longer than it has taken me to read a novel in many years. I think I have been reading it for at least two weeks, half an hour here or there. It's written in a dense 19th-century style, and I've just been terrifically busy. The story is fascinating, however: it's about Kansas Territory, and the intense fighting there between abolitionists and southern-rights advocates that presaged the Civil War.

Now, though, I'm going to log off and go upstairs with Laurell's Caress of Twilight. I think that will be a much quicker read.
