"What happened to 'Bibbity bobbity boo'?" Cal asked Min.
"That was Disney, honey," Min said. "It wasn't a documentary."

Ah, at last. Just when I'd given up on the romance genre completely (other than Nicole, of course), here comes Min. A carb-eater with a healthy sense of self who isn't dying to give up all of her dreams to breed in return for a mega-SUV in the fungiburbs.
Fearful of my editorial letter, I zipped it safely into a folder and indulged in retail therapy at Top Drawer Thrift on Burnett Road by the soon-to-be-no-longer Dragon's Lair location. "All proceeds benefit Project Transitions, a 501(c)3 non-profit agency providing hospice and housing to people living with HIV/AIDS."
For $34, I found seven garmets that make me look sassy and darling. Seriously. If you're an Austinite, check it out.
Note: Dragon's Lair keeps moving farther north (to Round Rock) and farther south (to San Antonio). Sigh.
