That was so mean of me. Posting those pictures of my chocolates.
Oh. I should tell you. They taste as good as they look, if not better. Which is why I continue to fuss about the art is anal chocolates so much.
I think I've eaten half a dozen today. I don't want to look. I don't want to know how much less I have left.
No school tomorrow so I'm sipping wine and reading a book. I'm having a hard time with it. Louise Erdrich's The Beet Queen. And it's not because of the book but because of the author's personal life. She was married to author Michael Dorris who was accused of molesting their children. Raping a daughter. He took his own life. With a plastic bag over his head. The night before allegations were going to be filed in court and printed in the paper.
Erdrich lives here in the Twin Cities and has a bookstore in Minneapolis. And it's just really hard to read her fiction without thinking about the hell her children went through. I wonder how much could have been prevented by her. There's a possibility she may have even been involved. I'm not judging. Maybe there was nothing she did or saw but I just can't help but wonder.
I'll finish the book. It's good. It's just that I find myself looking at the book's jacket, which is a first edition, printed in 1986, while she was married to Dorris. Listing the names of their children. 10 years before the county involvement.
Okay. Now I think I'm talking myself out of reading the damn book. I'm getting the ick factor from it. I can't give up now. I'm 2/3 done.
