5 more things

I like listing random things. Mostly for lack of anything better to talk about. So here are 5 things that have happened to me lately, or that I've been thinking about.



1-My brother's family just moved to Lubbock!!! So far I have seen them every day. I hope they don't get sick of me. That would be sad.



2-Evonne is back, which means that I no longer have to take care of her dog. I also miss being responsible for him.



3-I read A Girl Named Zippy and loved it. It is just fun to read. It seems like an autobiography to me, but it's shelved with the place histories. I guess the book's a little bit about her town, talking about the people that were there when she was, but mostly it seems to be about the author and her family. If you want a book that talks about small town life and people, and also passes surprisingly few judgements on them, this one is for you. Somehow the author was able to convey differences between people (usually her family and others) without saying which was better (maybe because most people would say not her family...).



4-This month I am not going to read or watch anything I have already read or watched (mostly read), with a few exceptions: 1) Some girls in my branch are forming a book club. I will read North and South and watch it with them, even though I have already done both of those things. 2) My friend recently acquired Groundhog Day, and I don't own it, so I figure I better watch it. 3) Scriptures (I know everyone was waiting for this one).



5-I need to revitalize my approach to food. Anyone have any cool recipes to recommend? I especially like ones that are simple to buy and make.
