That's Us. A Little Highbrow. A Little Mundane.
From The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield--there's a great description of a minor character (the doctor's wife) in the book. It goes like this (page 104):
"The doctor's wife wasn't a bad woman. She was sufficiently convinced of her own importance to believe that God actually did watch everything she did and listen to everything she said, and she was too taken up with rooting out the pride she was prone to feeling in her own holiness to notice any other failings she might have had. She was a do-gooder, which means that all the ill she did, she did without realizing it."

YUCK.
That should be illegal! :) Have some hot chocolate and snuggle up with a good book. That's my prescription for you!
Yeah...what's the point in getting out of bed under those conditions! A few weeks ago we were in the teens and that was more than enough "weather" for me. I agree with the hot chocolate thing.
AGREED!!
