I can’t believe it has been forever since I posted!!! What has happened since the last post hmmmmm……. I read the Book Night – Wiesel, and The Wedding – Sparks. They were incredible books and I finished each of them in less than a week. I can’t believe how much I love reading when I am not tasked to do it, as in a school assignment.
Night
This novel was so powerful, I don’t think it was as explicated as I thought it would be and for that I am thankful. The story was as much about the Holocaust as it was about the relationship of a boy and his father. He is such a strong and intelligent person to be able to endure such a violent life. I would recommend this book to anyone; it is short and keeps the pages turning.
The Wedding
This book involves some of the characters from Sparks other novel The Notebook. I didn’t really want to read this book out of fear that is would not be as good as the Notebook, but it was just as romantic. I didn’t want to put the book down and I didn’t want the love story to end. I am not sure how a man can write something so sweet and incredible!!! The setting was North Carolina, I honestly felt like I was there!! I can’t wait to read another one of his novels.
So I have finished my books for February and March already! I am now reading Fat Girl: A true Story. So far so good. I am about 1/3 the way through the book and it is a great!!! I think everyone who is over weight has thought the things that she is telling the reader.
The weather was beautiful this weekend!!! It was flip flop weather, my favorite!! It was just another example of why I want to move south, more days to wear flip flops. I realized on Sunday night that I had no short sleeve shirts to wear to work. Since I lost all the weight I have gotten rid of all my shirts. I really need to find time to shop. I am hoping to get away from my desk tomorrow and find some clothes.
I scrapbooked more of the wedding pictures. Heather and I were scrapbooking until 4 am; no one believes that we weren’t at a bar. I try to explain that once you get in that grove of being creative you can’t stop. We had such a great time talking, joking, laughing, and being creative.
I took some great pictures on Friday night and Sunday morning. I am starting to get a little more confident in my abilities. I think the ones of my dogs are great, but that is because they are so cute. The cows that “posed†for my on Sunday were so cute. It is amazing how curious they tend to be. I would really like to go back on a day when the weather and light are a little better.
I must get back to doing taxes but I am going to try to post at least one other time this week! Try being the key word!!
