It’s January 7th, and according to my scale, I have, as of today, successfully taken off the weight I put on over the holidays.
This felt more like a victory before I realized that Continue reading “One week in”

5 things paper books still have over eReaders
No one could be more surprised than I am at how much I have come to like my Kindle. (And I didn’t even mention the part about how I doubt silverfish infestations are a worry with an old Kindle.)
But the war isn’t yet over, folks. There are still some ways that real paper books are still superior to eReaders. At least… for now: Continue reading “5 things paper books still have over eReaders”
5 things I love about my Kindle
I was opposed to the whole idea of an eReader. I love books, you see. Even the tactile aspects… the feel, the smell.
But. Well. Two of my family members got Kindles for Christmas. And my boss lives on hers. And the idea of an e-Reader started to be one that I didn’t reject out of hand. Continue reading “5 things I love about my Kindle”
The choices we make: what we tell ourselves
My sister often tells our her girls that life is a series of choices and their consequences: good choices lead to good consequences, and bad choices lead to bad consequences. While they are little, those connecting lines are easy to draw. Continue reading “The choices we make: what we tell ourselves”
Quiet
Tonight, my apartment is quiet.
So, very often, am I.
This weekend I (sort of, with special thanks to my generous friend) borrowed and read a copy of Continue reading “Quiet”
For the record
I have panned The Dream Seeker in one way or another throughout the reading experience. So it’s only fair that I follow up, now that I have finished it. Continue reading “For the record”
What we’ve missed while my internet connection was floopy
Yesterday was a “Ladies Day” … the ladies were over. L brought homemade bread, K brought homemade jam. I made homemade coffee. It was good, as usual. Almost everyone made it over, so I had a full house. Good times. Continue reading “What we’ve missed while my internet connection was floopy”
Wee hours filmfest
It’s 1:30 AM as I write this, and Turner Classic Movies is playing Gone with the Wind.
I love this movie. I always have. I loved it so much as a kid that I read the book, which is really, really, really long.
I love this movie, but I’m not sure why. Continue reading “Wee hours filmfest”
Um. Thanks. I think.
I’m a Borders Rewards member. The Borders store nearest home is closing, but so far the store where I usually shop (nearer to work) is not yet on the chopping block.
But if history is any indication, it’s only a matter of time. I’m generally a realist, (okay, yes, I’m often a pessimist calling herself a realist) but I can’t help but hope that won’t happen. I’ve spent a lot of nice afternoons there, sipping coffee, reading, and then hauling out a back-breaking pile of books. Continue reading “Um. Thanks. I think.”
Three day bliss
My company gives us President’s Day off, so I had a three-day weekend.
I visited my parents. My sister & her family came up, and we celebrated the February birthdays together (and the one January birthday that I had missed). Continue reading “Three day bliss”
