Birthday

Helloo! Things are going well. I think I'm finally getting into the swing of school and am successfully navigating the line of doing what is necessary vs. what is assigned. I am in the midst of birthday week. Whoo! Had a small get together this week for the actual day and I am having my Mad Men extravaganza on Saturday. Yay!

My wonderful husband bought me a Nook color for my birfday! We don't have downloadables at the library I work at yet but I got card from an out of town library solely for downloadable use. Go internet!


Let me give a quick rundown of the books I've read.
  1. Unbearable Lightness - Portia di Rossi
  2.  Superfreakonomics -  Steven D.  Levitt and Stephen Dubner

  9. You say Tomato, I say shut up! : A love story- Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn
Currently reading: The Girl who Played with Fire.  Hubby and I watched the Swedish version of Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and I decided to give the second one a read. 10 million people can't be wrong!

Yep.

A haiku for the day.

Should still make my goal.
Reading reading. Mostly school.
Sometimes I hate school.
