No donut problem.... except when someone brings them to me! Then there's a problem. I can't stop eating them. But only the glazed or custard filled.
Actually, the nn is from college, when someone commented decided grace krispy was a great nick-- like rice krispy. Plus, she thought the name fit so well, as I am full of grace (NOT)
<--this is me, but imagine the hand is actually a door I'm opening .... and walking into, simultaneously. I think that's talent. It's also a black eye.
but yes, I feel somehow *safe* having hundreds of books in my purse. Safe.

I started reading that book, and after about 5 pages couldn't quite get into it. But that's ok- it's a library book, and when I have more time and more brain cells to devote to it, I'll check it out again!
