Naaaa....that's not true. You just get to date the wholesome, winsome morning girls. Of course, that may not be the kind you were looking for... 
I'm okay with her being someone who can get up early. I'm even okay with her being someone who enjoys getting up early. I just hope she's not one of those people who is excessively perky in the morning. I hate that, but even that is okay as long as she doesn't expect everyone else to be as happy in the morning as she is. That's simply over the line.
Calm, happy morning people are okay. The world needs them. Perky, excited morning people just stink. They make us night owls miserable before 10 a.m.

Seems like we have similarly eclectic tastes, then.
How interesting that your brother wrote a novel! I think it would be hard to read a book by an author I was actually acquainted with in real life.
besiderself
Eclectic's good. :)
My brother's a near genius, and he's really excited about his book. It's still in the revision/editing stage, so he wanted me to read it and offer suggestions. So far, it's excellent (I'm 1/3 of the way through it). We have a healthy relationship and respect each other's opinions, so I know that I can offer an honest critique without worrying about hurting his feelings. And it's actually pretty neat that I know the author. He included some details and real experiences from his life that I've noticed that others who don't know him won't "get" or understand as deeply or profoundly. It adds to the enjoyment.
Have you ever wanted to write a book?
When I was younger...much, much younger.  But I hated what I wrote, so I never pursued that career choice. I sing MUCH better than I write  !
I have had one particular experience reading a book written by a person I knew: unfortunately it was fairly badly written and difficult to explain how to fix to the friend.
How about you? Have you ever written or wanted to write a book?
besiderself
I've completed four, I think. It's hard to keep track. I want to get my first one published, but I haven't gotten it read thoroughly enough by proofers to send it off.

Then you and I will do just fine, Skrey. Although I rise early, and like to, I am NOT perky. In fact, if you turn on the lights before I am ready for them, I'm quite grumpy. I make coffee and brush my teeth in the dark. Lights are not allowed until after coffee whenever possible. And don't sing. Or even talk. You can whisper, but that's all.

I'm okay in the morning, as long as no lights go on before breakfast and no excessive noise happens before breakfast. Coming out of blissful slumber is traumatic, and I need some time to adjust to the painful realities of life, like getting out of bed and turning on lights. 
*whispers* ...but I don't normally have any coffee in the morning.

Well, folks, I'm off to eat dinner.
I'm having 2 cups of garden rotini with a tomato sauce consisting of a jar of Classico sauce mixed with diced tomatoes, black olives, basil, celery seed, and some pieces and stems of mushroom, along with a small glass of Manischevitz blackberry wine and a tall glass of water. I do cook, on occasion. :)
Yum, yum.

Looks like it's me and you, babe;
I'm just waiting for the last batch of Dr. Pepper cookies to cool enough to come off the cookie sheet before going to bed. Got a full day tomorrow.
What does your tomorrow look like?

Hey...I've heard others mention Dr. Pepper cookies before and was wondering what are they like? Are they a hard or soft cookie. And does the Dr. Pepper flavor really stand out? I have to make cookies for a barbeque in a few weeks and I just might try making something like that.

Basically they are really good medium soft chocolate cookies. The Dr. Pepper replaces the baking powder: you only use a quarter cup, so no, the flavor doesn't stand out. They are quite nicely textured. For fun, we tried adding Dr. Pepper Jelly Belly beans...but I think the heat of the oven must have taken some of the flavor out of the jelly beans, because they didn't seem to really make a difference, either. I like the texture with the jelly beans in, though.
They are quite nice. I added a little flour (a little more than a half a cup) to make them into drop cookies, and that worked fine.
You can find the recipe over in Fun Betty's PFY thread...FB, are you around? Could you post that link?
