I realized today as I was perusing through my routine blogs and found Dott's "to read" list, that I haven't read a book in forever. That includes the one she lent me awhile ago. Oops.It is on my night stand. I even took it to Birmingham, and the week I was off I put a bookmark in it to go outside and read, but alas no progress.
I used to read every spare moment I had. Of course that was back before I decided to go back to school and once you have to start reading, like for real, for grades, for actual learnin'...it becomes less fun.
After I graduated, I promised myself I would be rewarded with pleasure reading. I did for awhile and I still do in spurts. Like last spring when we ran away to Mexico for a week. I read five books. Of course, beaches set the stage for great reading marathons (the tequila sunrises didn't hurt).
My next couple weeks are full with our trip to Gatlinburg for my brother's wedding and the surprise party we are planning prior to the trip for them. But after that, I am off for a four day weekend for my birthday. I can't think of a better gift to myself. I might even, dare I say it, have a glass of wine with it. Gasp!
The doctor said on special occasions and if a girl's birthday is not a special occasion, what the hell is?
I promise Dott, the book will be read and returned soon.

Have a great birthday. And your doctor didn't say how BIG the glass could be.
So so true. A girl after my own heart.
So THAT'S where my copy of that book went ...
[shoulda been a librarian]
I've done the exact same thing. Hell I've got books I can't find and haven't a clue where they are. Movies too!
Speaking of that, does anyone have my DVD of Signs? I can't find it for the life of me.
