What I've Been Doing Instead of Blogging, Sewing, or Gardening

Instead of doing the things I should be doing, I've had my head in the "Cat Who" series of books. For those who haven't read any of Lilian Jackson Braun's books, these are short, quaint little mysteries with interesting small town charachters. They are perfect for summer reading. I was reading 1 or 2 a year but now that I am out of school, I am reading 1 or 2 a week. I really need to stop and get some other stuff done, LOL. If you're interested, here is the list:
