Things have taken a bad turn

And I'm afraid it's all my fault.


Perhaps if I had set a better example for my daughter?
Perhaps if I wasn't so shallow she'd have stood a chance?

Because of my magpie attraction to all things pink and shiny in the literature world.

Hey Dodi, check out my blog. Jen Lancaster's blog is linked there. I'm sure it will say when her book is coming out. (I can't remember darn it)
And I'm scared about what MY kids will read. You've seen my lists.
Oh man. Karma is going to be bad on that one.
