Reading

Reading

Any one who knows me knows that I love to read. If given the choice between TV and reading I would read. If given the choice between sleeping and reading I would choose reading if I didn't have to suffer for it the next day. Pretty much given the choice between anything and reading I would choose reading. So that is why I spend a lot of time on the web searching out the best books to read. I love finding list and challenging myself with some of the selections on the list. Sometimes that pays off and I discover a great book and sometimes I just get bored. Anyway if you are a read-a-holic take a look at this post I came across. It is pretty interesting.

Have a happy reading day. What was the last great book you read? Anything by Stephanie Myers doesn't count we all already know those are great books.

I must confess... I have not read any of Stephani Myer's books. I do however read. Hmmm, lately I have read Enchantment and Treasure Box, both by Orson Scott Card. My favorite Card novel is definately Ender's Game. If you have not read it... do it as soon as possible. The whole Ender's (and Bean) series is great!

The next book I plan of reading is Term Limits by Vince Flynn. I have heard very good things about his political thriller, so I'll let you know if it is worthwhile.

See, I didn't even know that Myers (with an S on the end) is how she spells her last name. So, I should have said I have not read any of Stephanie Myers' books (apostrophe placement is very important). =)

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
