Then you will realize that I lied about all of it and it is really fiction, because three pages from the end, I will disclose it was all a dream. But it really won't be three pages from the end, because you would be prepped for that. It will be somewhere between the first and last words in the novel. Oops! I said NOVEL! I meant, NON-FICTION. <br /><br />p.s. I heard you ate 1/2 a cow last night......... hmmmmmmm. Maybe it was 1/2 a pig and one chicken heart. I'm pretty sure I ate my weight in chocolate frosting. Thanks for donating to the poundage!

I am still trying to finish up a book that my daughter wants to read. But being the protective mom I am I have to read it first. It has been 2 months since I started it. Guess it is a good thing I own it.

I would love to be able to read non-fiction but it is so hard for me to get into. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I use them as an escape.Just SOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185859150181585109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-34130178154889513112009-04-26T10:51:00.000-06:002009-04-26T10:51:00.000-06:00Ooo- try this book, "Lucy" by Ellen Feldman.

One of my favorite times of day is sitting in the parent pick-up line waiting for Boo and reading my book. If I start to finish one, and don't have another lined up, I start to panic.<br /><br />But I do have a thing with library books. I can't stand to read library books beacuse of the person before me that read it. I can't stand to think of their grimy hands on it. Grosses me out. I need clean fresh untouched pages. I know with your pool issues, you totally get it.tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-25914172638297698042009-04-26T07:17:00.000-06:002009-04-26T07:17:00.000-06:00I am so with you.
