I guess that must be it? I did a search of the text (thank you Project Gutenberg!) and that was the closest thing that came up.

Crass book nerd help needed! I keep a note on my phone of gift ideas for Mr. CB. Years ago, I wrote “black pearl cufflinks, Les Mis quote.” The only “pearl” quote I can find in a quick Google is not about black pearls. Did I imagine that? Does anyone else remember anything about black pearls in Les Miserable?
Pirates of the Caribbean cluttering up the search results doesn’t help either 😂

To be fair, upstate NY city names are bonkers. See: Skaneatles, which is somehow pronounced “skinny-atlas”( !!!)

She brought home the 9/11 one from the school library last year and I snuck it back into her backpack and luckily she forgot about it 😬 Poor kiddo has enough innate anxiety as it is.

Munchkin just asked how I survived World War I. I’ll be researching nursing homes now I guess.

We made it to Aruba! The kids did AMAZING even with a 4am wake up, having to behave in the airport and plane etc. I thought we all might lose it when the line for immigration in Aruba was hundreds of people long and took us almost 2 hours to get through. But we made it and even got some pool time in before dinner!

Just tested positive for Covid, sigh. I had cold symptoms a couple weeks ago and tested negative then, but then it came back with a vengeance I guess. I’m actually annoyed at Mr. CB, because he was sick last week and I asked him if he would test, and he said “what difference would it make?” Actually I’m pretty pissed at him. Hopefully I’ll be over it before our trip to Aruba next week 😩

It was great! And I was even able to finish up a couple of assignments early today!
