Just right. I just did a purge and things are somewhat organized. Although, the bags of books are still waiting in the garage to be donated.

hmmm, kinda
9. What is your favorite food? Anything you are craving for right now?
hamburger and fries ;-)
10. Name one or more books you badly want to read but find intimidating.
This is one I tried reading when it first came out, but quit. Maybe because I wasn't in the mood for it and for it's chunky size. So, it sits in my TBR pile. But since the tv version has been released, I want to give it another try.
