Summer Reading

This summer has proved to have a lot of down time for me since I have been unable to find anyone who wants to hire me for just the summer. So with my new found down time I have been reading. Some of what I am reading I have read

before, like the Harry Potter series but I am starting some new ones in between. This summer, I have already read The Eldest in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, and the first three Harry Potters (The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, and The Prisoner of Azkaban) by JK Rowling.

Right now I am reading three books at once: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling, Roverandom by JRR Tolkien, and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. As I finish these I hope to re-read the rest of the Harry Potters (The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows), Stardust and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, and The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien.

last book on my list is American Gods by Neil Gaiman but I haven't found a copy of that yet so it will have to wait. Unfortunately, between all these books I still have to read my text book and do homework.

husband decided that we should go to the beach. I was stocked because I haven't been able to get to the beach since I've been back in Cali. We only spent a short amount of time on the beach but it was great seeing Josh love the water and seeing my sister so happy. Though the best part of the trip to the beach was going to the restaurant at Paradise Cove and getting the best calamari I have ever had. It was a really great day.

thanks

I just wanted to give a little thank you to the casher at Ralph's today. Here is my story: I went to the library today to pick up a book I had ordered. As I was driving back the heat of the day was really getting to me and as I passed the Ralph's grocery store I decided I would stop and get some ice cream. I had my mind fixed on getting the Haagen-Dazs mango sorbet because it is refreshing and delicious. And to my delight they had it, but right next to it there was a special green tea flavor and I love green tea ice cream. Now I had a big dilemma, especially because they were marked 2 for $6 if I had a member card, but I don't. I decided I didn't care and I would just pay full price for both of them. I went to a cashier who didn't have a line and look particularly bored, probably regretting the fact he had to work this tedious job all summer. He rang me up and asked for my membership card and I said I didn't have one. Without saying a word he gave me the discount and my change, putting a big smile on my face. So thank you cashier man, you made my day!
