Idle Hands...

Read 300+ page books in ONE DAY! I finished The Lovely Bones a few minutes ago and I have to say that it was an amazing book. Every page captured my attention and I am so glad that it is being turned into a movie. I just hope that it doesn't take anything away from the book. It's so strange to have a book make such an impact on my heart. I just loved it.

So in the tradition of past, I allowed my mom to choose the next book I would read. I asked her to pick a number between 1 and 7 (yay! The books yet to read are down to 7!!) and top or bottom. Well, she chose 7 and top so I will be reading Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire.



It's funny - this is the first new book that I bought to read in September and then kept buying new books so this one got moved to the bottom of the stack. So after this book, only 6 more to go before I can go shopping for more books.!!! I'm feeling a little better although I did stay home from work today too. I was running a slight fever this morning and decided to sleep in. I'm feeling 1,000 times better than I did in the last four days. I might even leave the house to get more apple juice and Kleenex. It's amazing to me that I was able to go through a 64-oz bottle of apple juice in 12 hours. Wow!

Anyway, not gonna start the new book until at least tomorrow. Sam will be home in T minus 3 days and counting. Hopefully I'll be completely over this sickness by then. My body is so sore from coughing and sneezing (I've sneezed 4 times while writing this post!). I'm off to nap and then take in some pointless TV. Maybe I'll get a wild hair up my ass and do some cleaning. (Make it 5 sneezes!)

Keep drinking lots! (of apple juice)
