Day 32

Back-of-the-Book Blurbs of Today's Happenings:

 That Funny Walk She's Got
Beth Black is the ideal aunt. Her two blonde, blue-eyed nieces - Liberty and Teagan - are ecstatic when she comes to visit them, even if she does bring along her two socially-awkward roommates. The girls want to play hide-and-seek, running pell-mell around the yard, little Teagan hopping hilariously from leg to leg uncoordinatedly. What follows is an amusing and endearing tale of how Beth - who has her own walking impediments, due a tragic exercising accident - learns to be a child again, and share in the childlike awe of bubbles and Disney Princess training wheels.

Erin has had enough of college. After another dreadful semester and a stern letter from the university, she's decided that she needs to explore other options if she's going to find a career that doesn't make her want to gouge her eyes out. Finally seizing her own destiny, she decides to write. She goes back to the blog she's had since high school - an idle interest - and completely redesigns it, turning it into a money-making entrepreneurship. Her story is one of defying expectations, ignoring the voices of doubt and conventionality, and striking out to make her own happiness. And - hopefully - money.

The Interview at the Lake
Jessica is a very poor college student, who longs to get out of the place she's grown up in and really see the world. She has the chance to go to Russia in August, but unless she gets a job she won't be able to afford the trip. Thanks to a tip from an old friend, she's found out about a job opening at the lake. She shows up at the interview and meets two strange characters - a hectic-looking woman named Charity, and a quiet man from the State Wildlife Department who owns a decontamination tent. The results of that interview will dramatically change her summer - and possibly, the rest of her life - in this charming story of humorous adventures, rediscovering old ties, and quagga mussels.


So...yes. There you have it. That is what we did for most of the day. The last seven hours or so, however, were entirely occupied with . . . well, this picture ought to sum it up:
