Things always go missing when I clean - mostly because I think I have really clever ideas about where to put things that I then I promptly forget after I've put things there. And the gremlins that are unleashed, of course. ;-)<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better soon!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-44279527406561413092015-09-07T14:04:33.561-04:002015-09-07T14:04:33.561-04:00Doll Bones is fun.

I need to get some pretty hardcover editions. I just have the old paperbacks. I used to reread them every year. It may be time to revisit them! I got distracted from doing that last year when the actor who played Gilbert in the movies passed away.
