today I learned...

• The Christy book award is not, as I thought for mystery novels, it's for Christian fiction. I was going more for an Agatha Christie, less of a Christ thing in my brain.
• Having fun size M&Ms in my desk is a very bad idea.
• Having a bag of mints in my desk? Less of a bad idea.
• Julie Kenner is probably going to write another Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom book. Deja Demon ended with more questions. Like why exactly is Eric part demon? Is Stuart going to start helping with the research? Who will take Father Ben's place?? I want to know!!! If you are at all intrigued by a series of books (4 right now) about a suburban California mom who hunts demons (kind of like Buffy, but no vampires), start with Carpe Demon.
• "Cosa nostra" is not in The American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition.
