Punctuality is the virtue of the bored. —Evelyn Waugh

Ah, Evelyn. We would have gotten on swimmingly. Punctuality and I are loose acquaintances at best—some would argue (my husband among them)—perfect strangers. My copy of April's book club selection is due to arrive today...on the last day of the month. Combine that with the fact I've yet to review last month's pick and I'm on a roll of tardiness. Best of all? I told Tracy I'd post this yesterday, so even my post about being late is late. Luckily for me, when it comes to punctuality, or lack thereof, she and I are simpatico. Just one more reason to love her.

You may have noticed by now that I'm in a constant state of pulling myself together. Here's how you can help (thank you in advance): Let's all just pretend Girl at War was our April pick and The Princess Bride will be our May selection. Which effectively makes me early. The bonus for you? You can say you've done your good deed for the day. Rest assured, we've already chosen June's book and will announce it mid-May, like normal, pulled-together bloggers. Baby steps.
