I Long for ~~a Grapefruit~~ Some Reading Time

Hi, folks! Christmas is over. Did everyone make it through OK? It's been a rough season for those I know and love, so I'm sorta glad it's done.

I was sitting in my comfy chair night before last because I couldn't sleep. It was early morning and I turned my head and looked at the many many shelves of books to my left. I saw so many that I haven't read and I remembered a bunch that I got for Christmas presents this year and I decided that I'm not getting any younger. I want to read about two zillion books and I won't live that long, so I must get started and at least try to make a dent.

So, instead of blogging in my free time, I'm going to be reading. Books, not blogs. That's the plan, anyway. I'll check in some time later on and get back into the swing of things, I'll bet. After all, I do have another skin coming sometime early next year! But for now, I'm going to grab myself a cup of coffee and retire to the library. I don't have to work today, so this is my chance to make a lot of progress on one of my current books.

Have fun and hang in there, y'all! I wish you simply the bestest New Year ever and I'll be seeing you!

Reading is a great choice for spending your free time very well.

My plan for today was to sit down and read
the Da Vinci Code. I don't know what happened but half the day is over and here I am on the computer. I was going to balance my checkbook online, too...have I done that yet? Noooo. Hope you're getting some good book reading done so at least one of us does!

One of my weaknesses has always been children's literature. Last night I read 3 books my 9 year old checked out of the library. She's only read one of them.

I applaud your choice, Empress m'dear. I love to read books and have learned that I have to make time for it or I never do it.

I did a little reading on our trip, and it's really a nice thing to do. A great way to spend time.

Hope to talk to you soon.

Happy Reading -- that sounds delightful!

What a great idea. Mind if I give it a try?

Reading is always a wonderful choice. In fact I cannot imagine a day passing without spending at least some time lost in the words and world of another.

Very good choice!

Now take care of you (and the cootie-infested Buzz) and happy reading!
