i haven’t finished a tale of two cities. yet. i’m a few hundred pages in. really. i am. for some reason (is it the 39 week belly?) i’m having a really hard time keeping track of the characters. and there’s something about the french revolution that always makes me feel uncomfortable. (or maybe the guillotine makes everyone feel uncomfortable…?) the more i read about the reign of terror, the more i feel like i’m back in my high school ap european history class praying that the teacher won’t call on me. something about the whole of european history never made sense to me. go figure. anyway. i’m going to finish. you should finish too. it will make you smarter.

and just for kicks, here’s a conversation i overheard between henry and his pacifier as i was visiting the little girl’s room in the wee hours of the morning, “oh. hi binkie. hi. you’re so silly. so silly.”
