What are you up to this weekend? I’m having dinner with my friend AllisonAnd she told me that I could put it on her child to bed. I can’t wait to have a heavy head on my shoulders, squeeze. Thank you also for the kind and wonderful comments on Our house tour. I felt surprisingly vulnerable when you posted it – not sure why – but you always make everything sound like a soft landing. Thank you. Hope you have a good link, here are some from around the web…
Dinner tonight without a second thought.
How do people find time to read so much? “Because there are so many other things I don’t do,” Pandora Sykes explains..

How does Melissa McCarthy travel?. “I hate it when everybody stares at the baby…it’s a baby! I’m always the creepy one who says, ‘If you want me to hold the baby, I will.’ And they’re like, ‘We don’t know you, ma’am.’”
Did you try this Famous chopped salad?
What makes me happy is my very old dog, says Gabrielle Zevin. “Our wonderful vet made the following diagnosis: ‘What you have is a good dog.’ Nothing has a killer frank. He’s old. That’s it. And old is not a disease. Old is old.”
Are you going to do your wedding makeup? I loved this tutorial.

Plus three comments for readers:
says Jessica Best book to put in the guest bedroom: “I am offering Field Guide to the Dumb Birds of North America. It sounds silly, but I gave it to my mom one year ago, and now everyone who visits her ends up buying their own copy. People laugh so hard they cry. This book is a delight. “
Mary says Best book to put in the guest bedroom:”The Book of Delights By Ross Gay (Just great mini-essays! I can’t keep quiet about this book!). Plus a surprising option: a really good dessert cookbook, or any cookbook with good photos and gossip intros. It’s such a fun thing to run around in before bed! “
Lauren says My relationship with birthdays: “I felt like a slacker at 21, when I didn’t finish a draft of my first novel, like Jane Austen. Then I was 42, like you never do. In an article I was writing about robot cats (a long story), I stumbled upon Spinoza’s concept of Connatus , or striving for every moving thing to become itself; the righteous/moral life is the life one lives according to one’s nature. With every Christmas I come to myself, and see that now for the good fortune that it is.” Sarah replies: “Another interrupter from Lorraine O. Something I’ve thought about many times but just can’t find the words for.”
