Gonna be a great weekend...
...because tomorrow I'm heading to a friend's with a pile of books I've read and she hasn't, to swap with her for books she's read that I haven't.
So this will be my weekend:
Awww, yeah. :-)

Reading really does make you smarter...
...and not non-fiction, either. Reading novels makes you smarter. Not just while you're reading, but for days after.
Science proved it.
Those well-meaning people who told me that staying inside to read while everyone else played outside was bad for me -- I knew you were wrong. :P
Thank you, Science!

Happy New Year...
...and remember that 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 equals 7.
There is nothing significant about that whatsoever. But I still wish you a significant 2014. :-)

Book trailers...
...does anyone like them?
Are they interesting / entertaining? Or do they just make you groan and roll your eyes?
I'm thinking of doing one just for fun...
...but I've noticed that they aren't like other videos. I can go on YouTube and watch a movie trailer, or a cat video, or a Buzzfeed video, or an Ellen clip, or an old Family Feud bit (LOVE me some Richard Dawson), and suddenly it's hours later and I've somehow started watching auto-tuned NASCAR prayers.
On the other hand, I watch a book trailer (even on YouTube) and kind of think, "Hm. That was a book trailer." Then I'm done and I don't want to watch any more of them.
Yet everyone seems to be making them...
Maybe I'll just post a video of one of my cats reading one of my books. :P

Happy holidays...
...whatever you happen to celebrate! May you have good friends, great food, and a fantastic time.
Also, here's a super easy recipe for fudge that works every time.
ENGINEER FUDGE
1 12-oz bag chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp butter (NOT margarine)
-Open can of sweetened condensed milk and set aside
-Place chocolate chips and butter in a medium-ish microwave-safe bowl
-Heat for 30 seconds; stir
-Heat another 30 seconds; stir
-Continue heating 30 seconds and stirring until smooth (usually 3 rounds)
-Pour in sweetened condensed milk and stir until blended
-If there are small non-melted chocolate bits or uneven-ness, heat mixture in microwave for 30 seconds and stir again
-Pour into 8 x 8 pan and refrigerate until firm
Delicious! You can also use other types of chips (make sure you have 12 oz; some flavored chips come with less than 12 oz in a bag), or add flavoring like mint extract, almond extract, or butter flavoring.
This recipe is really easy and tastes really good. You can give this fudge as a gift and not tell people how easy it is, and let them be amazed at your mad fudge skillz. :-)
