1)<\/strong><\/font> Well, I saw Shakey Graves<\/a><\/strong> live on Thursday night, and it was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Next day’s slight hearing loss was even worth it. (We were standing RIGHT in front of the amazing drummer and right next to a huge amp.)<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong><\/font> Some necessary Spring cleaning in Autumn. <\/p>\n

3)<\/strong><\/font> Just now reading some totally weird and wonderful picture books, old and new, to my girls. <\/p>\n

4)<\/strong><\/font> Sleeping in. <\/p>\n

5)<\/strong><\/font> Discovering that Nashville’s Fido<\/a><\/strong> has a fabulous dinner menu. Though this is where we have our Nashville Kidlit Drink Night monthly, I’d never ordered dinner there till the other night. Yum. <\/p>\n

6)<\/strong><\/font> Lattes with honey and cinnamon. <\/p>\n

7)<\/strong><\/font> Hear hear for unpredictable and dangerous and exciting encounters with stories! Read here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n
