I have a few announcements to make.

First of all, I love Caitlin. And she makes me squeal. I'm so happy for her.

Secondly, I realized today that the number one reason I love reading is that it completely takes away any of your own problems. When you read, you aren't doing anything but reading. You aren't there. You aren't thinking.

Finally, I decided it was high time that I made a 101 Things I Love list. I hear they can make you feel better, and I'm not in a great mood.
