French?????

I don't know why but all the interface stuff is written in French. I don't read French. I checked my preferences and English is it so where the hell did the French come from?? I had to guess a lot just to post this. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

Ok, maybe I was hallucinating. It's back to normal now. But if I was hallucinating, I sure as heck wouldn't do it in French!

Author! Author!

Tonight I went to see Mary-Ann Tirone Smith at the library. She was phenomenal. I'd already read all her Poppy Rice books and loved them. So when I saw she was coming to the library I dug through my TBR pilea few weeks ago to see if I had any more of her books.

I had An American Killing so I figured I'd read that and bring it to be autographed. When I started reading it I realized she'd based it on the Ferrara murders that happened here back in the late 80's when I was working at the church. What a shock to be reading a fiction book and realize that you know the setting and the people, etc.! I knew these people!

As far as knitting goes -- I finished a dishcloth for part of the summer exchange gift. I'm still not sure what else I'm making but I have to do it soon. It has to be received by sometime next month. I'm still working on my January-February-March-April and now May socks. LOLOL!! Someday I might even get to the gusset! I'm also knitting fish with odds and ends of yarn, to put together into an afghan whenever there's enough fish.
