So I'm rereading In Cold Blood with my AP kids. By Truman Capote. Great book. And I come across this excerpt that feels like it fits me about 90% of the time. (Insert my name where "Nancy" and "Nancy Clutter" appears):
"Goodness, no. I just love her to death. Well everybody does. There isn't anybody like Nancy. Do you know what Mrs. Stringer says?" said Jolene, naming her home-economics teacher. "One day she told the class, 'Nancy Clutter is always in a hurry, but she always has time. And that's one definition of a lady.'"
:p
So I am living like Nancy Clutter.
Well, except for the fact that I've not been shot point-blank range with a shot gun.
Ick.
At least the quote's suitable! And, I hopefully made you want to read the book!

You're definitely a lady, Mrs. Krieger! :)
Funny that you write that. I started that book a couple months ago but haven't gotten back to it. So I would tell you not to ruin the end for me, but I think we all know that ending. And that is why once people are convicted of certain crimes, we should just shoot them instead of paroling them so they can go out and commit more crimes.
I know you like comments so look, look closely.....
COMMENT!!!!
Hah! This whole time I thought that Mustang was just a personal project Randy had going on.
My dad went up and checked to see if he had done anything yet, and surprise (!!!)...He's done nothing.
