I have been tagged by my friend RSG who apparently had QUITE the cuh-razy day today, what with the conferences and the appointments and the annual visit to the gyno. As a side note, I usually get myself so worked up over an impending gyno appt. that I have to take a nap afterwards. Sad, but true. We also had conferences here at my house and I found out that Emma? My 7 year old? She reads and comprehends at a sixth grade level. THAT’s why she’s so freaking bored in class and is starting to…ahem……cause a little ruckus. Unfortunately we don’t have a gifted program so I’m kind of at a loss as to what to do with her, other than just loading her up with books, books, and more books. The sweet thing has her nose in a book from dawn till dusk!

Okay, so the tag. Here’s the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

From “Surrender the Pink” by Carrie Fisher. Yes, THAT Carrie Fisher. I find the book to be a bit pretentious yet still entertaining; she says “fuck” a lot which always lightens things up a bit. Here we go:

“You know what I think?” said Connie.
“No, but I’m sure you’re gonna tell me.”
“I think that it’s dangerous for you to be idle,” pronounced Connie.

Huh? Huh? PROFOUND, I tell you. Let’s see, who shall I tag……okay, here we go: Lelo, Rose, Leora, Heather, and Doc.
