No Exile Depressed Food Consumption Update #1
I just ate a spoonful of blue cheese dressing - straight.
Are You There God? It's Me, Carol.
WHY GOD? WHY?!?
Oh this is bad. This is really, really bad. I have now broken out the potato chips. While I'm MAKING DINNER.
WHY? WHY? (yelled like Nancy Kerrigan)
(Nancy, if you're a fan of Outlander, I apologize for that and totally wanted you to win.)

The Exile gods are NOT smiling down on me today...
2:25 PM and I still don't have it. It's coming via USPS... and my mail has already arrived today. Now - usually a book will arrive separately because it's too large for the mailbox. But the separate deliveries usually come in the AM.
I'm heading over to the Post Office now...to see if they can help me or give me any info.
I'll keep you posted. (NO PUN INTENDED!!!!!!)
PS - Nope. Not going to Barnes and Noble. I ordered it. I'm waiting for it. I'll know better next time.

Diana Gabaldon's "The Exile": Today's the Day!!!!
Whereisit?Whereisit?Whereisit?Whereisit?Whereisit?!?
I have checked my front stoop no less than 3 times already; maybe four.
My copy of The Exile is coming via US Postal Service - and usually when I get something larger than an envelope, my postman makes a special trip to my house in the mail truck. If it comes via regular mail, it'll be here around noon, 1:00.
(If it doesna show today you will all here me crying all the way from your respective states.)
I am sending you all good Exile vibes (new Jamie... NEW JAMIE!!!!!!!!)

The Purgatory Tour of Scotland
OK so Tracey and I are in hysterics on the phone, pseudo-planning the Purgatory Tour through Scotland with y'all that we just joked about on Monday night Chat. Tracey and I decided we should give our own, personalized tour of the Outlander sights... complete with Chardy and Pinot for all! (Plain ol' Coca Cola's welcome!)
I am wiping away the tears because I just told Tracey the following:
If I were sober at Culloden, I'd be a weepy mess. But if I were drunk at Culloden, I'd probably throw myself on the moor and cling to the Fraser marker. Then I said "Tracey, can't you see the photo now? You and I on either side of the Fraser marker with wine glasses in our hands?!" (I hope y'all know I'd never actually do this).
Then Tracey decided that she and I are the Patsy and Eddie of Outlander.
I canna type any more...I am laughing too hard!!!!!

Got this Paw Nation article about the "Scottish Fold" from our dear friend Christie!!!Isn't Adso cute?!
I get that this cat is Scottish and Adso was American... but let's just pretend, shall we? Mmmmkay....

Need Your Diana Scientific Fix? Just Read Twitter!
Holy crap. So I've been missing Diana's natural remedies and scientific tidbits lately... and I go to Twitter to answer a question from Tracey... and what do I see?
And honest to god, I felt comforted. Like Mrs. Bug had just made me a big, ol' bowl of parritch with bacon and bannocks....and the actual coffee was flowing, instead of the acorn coffee that I assume made poor Claire want to throw up in her mouth a little.
Am I the only one who wishes Diana would write a book of natural remedies and helpful information for women (sorry Richard and Charles, etc!) that would be easy to understand in that language we've all come to know and love???
