Hard to believe that the summer months are nearly half over already. Where has the time gone? Just an update on what is going on here. Dave is currently in Alaska and will be through the 4th of August. He's on the annual "man trip" I think its good for him to get away.
I just came back from a week at the lake with my family. It was awesome. I hadn't been to the great north woods for 5 or possibly 6 years. I can't believe that much time has passed. Where has it gone? Why did I choose not to go? Interesting items to ponder...
I did have a great time at the lake. Aside from boating, fishing and hanging with the fam, I also did quite a bit of reading. I am a little bit late getting on the bandwagon, but I read all 4 of the Twilight books while on vacation. Like many others, I loved them. I have found myself thinking about them and may even read them again. Is Stephanie Meyer a great writer, no. But, she is a great storyteller. I'm so glad she chose to share this story with everyone -- and that a publisher took a chance on publishing it. I'm such a sucker for a love story. I do find particular delight in the fact that the movies are available to watch. Tonight, hopefully, will be my own personal Twilight viewing! :) My friend Linda also borrowed me the 2nd movie, New Moon and I've already got a girls night on the calendar to go watch Eclipse. I, of course, am the only person in my group of girlfriends who hasn't seen it yet.
Besides realizing that I'm pretty much a Twi-hard, I've also realized that I need to open a book a little more often. I'll be checking the New York Times bestsellers list a little more frequently -- seeing as I'm about 5 years late on getting to these books and they were all on the top of the list. I'm guessing there are some other good reads out there that I've missed. Anyone have any suggestions?
The truth though, is that I'll probably read the entire series over again before starting on something else. I'm not really quite ready to leave Forks, WA behind.
