I am happy to have recently regained my appreciation for curling up with a good book. During college and the several years following, I was always too busy to sit still long enough to actually read (and finish) a book. But I think I've knocked out more books in the past 3 months than in the past 5 years combined, and I'm loving it! Been reading a lot of Karen Kingsbury lately, and my dad gave me a set of 3 historical fiction novels that I'm looking forward to delving into. I'll probably take those with me when I have to show up for jury duty in a few weeks! It doesn't hurt any that I am in a bookstore almost every day and can take whatever I want to read on my lunch break.
I'm actually looking forward to serving on a jury. It'll be a new experience for me, and it should be interesting since I've always been curious about law. I get to serve on criminal court... woo-hoo! I hope I get some crazy cases!
New Year's Eve was a dud. Our new neighbors (across the street and 2 houses down) were playing their music SO loud that I could hear the bass over our TV! I was somewhat irritated, but being New Year's Eve, I'll forgive them... this time! Don and I both fell asleep on the couch during the 11:00 news, and we missed the ball drop. This is the first year in about 20 that I've missed the festivities. Ehhhhhh, oh well, I'm getting old!
