From Work
I'm updating from work so I will have to add the picture of the falls in later today. Here are my thoughts of the holidays:
I come from a relatively small family. Most of my life it's just been me, my mom, my sister and usually my aunt and grandmother but the core of everything is us three girls. I've always wanted to know what it's like to be a part of a large family or at least to experience one. Wow, did I ever experience! It was basically like I thought it was going to be, Loud, Crazy, Chaotic but full of love. It's never boring and there is almost always someone to talk to or do something with. But on the flip side it's very hard to find 'alone time'. I wouldn't have changed the experience in any way though. We went hiking, shopping, pool was played, lots of ping pong too. We also had a lot of good food and I think we got food poisoning which wasn't so much fun. I learned it's not always about what you do, it's about who you spend your time with. So all in all I had a GREAT holiday. I hope everyone else did too!
I had started the book Life of Pi before Christmas and had to stop but I just finished reading it on Thursday. It was a magnificent book! I recommend it to everyone. It's more philosophical than I thought it would be but...I don't know how to describe it. I can't really find the words. It's about a young boy that finds himself stranded on a lifeboat with a Bengal Tiger. Of course, there is SO MUCH more to the story. It's an eye opener and it really made me view some things in a different way which is very impressive to me.
I just started House of Leaves yesterday. I've heard a lot of good things about it too. It's definitely written in an interesting format. I'll let you know.

I've said this once before and I will say it yet again but you are a much better reader than I could ever hope to be. This is sad, considering I'm the so-called librarian. I do -love- to read but apparently not enough to read as much as you do. I just never seem to find the time to do it. I vow this year to be a better reader! Watch me now. Watch me read! There's yet a new resolution along with the usual 1-lose weight, 2- Exercise more.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my gigantic family didn't scare you too much. I know it can be slightly traumatic at the best of times. Still, you're welcome always and you know it.
