50 Books To Read Before You Die

Barnes & Noble sells a bookmark that has all 50 of those titles on it. It's nice and shiny too. I've read about half of the 50 titles. I could list them all here for you, but the bookmark was only a segue into my actual topic, which is reading. The love of it, to be more precise. You see, I grew up reading. Probably because my mom was ALWAYS reading. She'd get lost in a book and not come out until it was finished. We loved it when she let herself read on schooldays, because that meant we didn't have to do school (don't worry, she knew her weakness and that didn't happen often). I do the same thing nowadays, and the Orclette has caught on. "Momma, can we watch Diego because you have a book?" Real quote. She's a smart one, that daughter of mine. She knows that when momma has a book it means unlimited episodes of Diego, because I HAVE TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS. And just like my mother before me, I know my weakness, and try to have as few days like that

Hola.

It occurred to me that I hadn't written a post lately. I'm not sure you want me writing right now, seeing as how I'm consumed with finals preparation. And so, for your viewing pleasure: Goggles are the "in" thing around my house. Cool, huh?
