For some reason the blogroll on my sidebar disappeared early this week. I’m slowly recreating it. It might take me a while. The search function hasn’t been working 100% of the time either. Hmph.

I was out of town this weekend (girly weekend at the lake, yahoo!) so I’m terribly behind on reading and commenting on blogs. Never fear, I haven’t forgotten you my lovelies!
Here’s to another week, go make it a good one!

It has been very warm here (Northern Wisconsin) which leads me to read a LOT because I cannot stand being outside in that cruddy heat. Blech.

The Telling Room looks interesting. Who doesn't love a book about a piece of cheese? Books about food always make me hungry. I'll have to be prepared with some cheese and crackers if I read that one!
