Color + Flower = Instant Spy Name

I just got finished reading The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, and I really liked it, despite the fact that so many critics have referred to it as untrue to the time period. If you're not a Regency period snob, and you enjoy historical fiction, and you can stomach some of the less fun aspects of "chick lit," then I really do recommend it. It's long enough to enjoy for awhile (a few hours, in my case), and it really helps you to look forward to the next book while simultaneously feeling like there was some sort of closure to at least one of the two dominant story lines. Good reading.

Oh. And I herebly declare my spy name to be the Blue Lily.

Alexa's birthday is tomorrow, which is supposed to be muchos fun. I won't write anything here unless the girl in question happens to randomly decide to read this blog and my sister kills me for ruining the surprise, but just know it has been well planned.

Less than a week until I leave for the lake. Starting to feel compressed...and to pray that my Joey gets to come along.
