"I am a result of the mistakes I have made."

"'Marry, don't marry,' Auntie Aya says as we unfold layers of dough to make an apple strudel. 'Just don't have your babies unless it's absolutely necessary.'
'How do I know if it's necessary?'
She stops and stares ahead, her hands gloved in flour. 'Ask yourself, Do I want a baby or do I want to make a cake? The answer will come to you like bells ringing.' She flickers her fingers in the air by her ear. 'For me, almost always, the answer was cake.'"
— Diana Abu-Jaber

I wrote this story for a friend of mine, who asked me if I had written anything new. I hadn't, but I didn't want to disappoint her, so I came up with this. Sorry for the formatting; I tried to fix it to have indentions, but Goodreads is being difficult.

Today's NYT Book Review has another collection of short stories by Irene Nemirovsky titled "David Golder, The Ball, Snow in Autumn and The Courilof Affair." We also recently got in a biography about her here at Olin. It seems Suite Francais finally made a difference for her.
Will you check for me please?????
Doreen, honestly, are you guys hitting rock bottom down there or what!? I'm trying to wait patiently for my books but it seems to be taking forever! Now I'm going to have the audacity to complain.
yes! i've ordered probably about 7 books for home delivery. i'm very excited! a lot of them are your picks (you have very good taste).
so...i guess i've made the decision to push my paralegal certification test from march to july to make time for all this reading. LoL
thanks...i love the pic...it's my default on myspace right now.
by the way, i signed up with orlando organics and you should receive $5 off your next bill. Mmmm...i can't wait until thursday when i get the grub.
yay...virtual Doreen. I like it. It's kind of like when we worked together and talked about books and music.
