Jazmin- So my time off of work ended quickly...I have been back at work for about a week now and I am ready for another vacation!! (smile) I will say my time off was great! Got some much needed house projects done, spent lots of quality time with my hubby, did some reading, enjoyed watching television, and staying up late. Unfortunately, my strawberry plant is still in the box. My dream is to grow my own vegtables and fruits (organically), so if I want to accomplish that you would think I would have a little enthusiasm about planting about 10 strawberry seeds (smile)...I am going to do it; I promise. =)
Something that I also enjoyed doing was reading with Demetrius. I originally checked a book out to read and I started reading it. Well on our way to Jackson, MS; Demetrius started reading while I drove. He caught up to where I had stopped, so I told him to start reading it to me because I didn't want him to pass me. =) We each took turns reading as the other drove. Once we got home, we continued to read to one another before bed. Unfortnately, another book I had on hold at the library was ready to be picked up, so I gladly picked that book up and began reading it (got done in 2 1/2 days). My attention span for the other book was short lived, but Demetrius finished it...so he will have to tell you about it, but we did find another thing that we enjoy doing together...reading! I look forward to getting some books on audio and stepping into a whole new world together (I LOVE reading!)
Demetrius: Well vacation time for the wife has long gone. She wrote her part in this post a long time ago. Shame on me for just getting to my part. We traveled to Jackson, MS for my sister's graduation for one day of the vacation. Seeing her graduate made me realize how old I was getting. While she was driving, I got the idea to start reading the book she had been reading (Sins of the Father by Angela Benson). She was on Chapter 9 at the time she had stopped reading, so I caught up with her and started reading out loud so she wouldn't get behind. I really enjoyed the book. I became so engrossed in it that I took over and read the rest of the book on my own. I have never been an avid reader, but I figured I'd need to find me another hobby other than playing video games. I look forward to reading many more books with my wife. I think it will be fun for the both of us.
After we returned from the trip, I went and got a library card. I don't know what happened to the one I used to have. The first book I checked out was 1984 by George Orwell. I read this book in high school for an assignment, and I remember really enjoying it back then. At this point, I haven't started reading the book, and I have only 7 days left (shame on me). Hopefully, this will become my favorite hobby. I like getting lost in the imaginations of others. So until next time.....Toodle Bye.
