Speaking of books. I am trying to read some different books this year. It is all part of my 2008 goal of NOT going through life on auto-pilot. So, I read 'Nobody's Fool' by Richard Russo. A story of a man who for years has avoided any regrets, he has to start taking a hard look at his life. Russo is witty, sometimes I chuckled, not really laugh out loud but witty smile inducing literature. I think it actually could have depressed me a bit but the sun is out so I was able to keep that from happening. I felt like I wanted to discuss it with a Lit. class of college students. I guess I enjoyed it, just felt bad about all the miserable, dysfunctional characters.
Anyway, I need a light read. I picked up Carole Matthews new book,'The Chocolate Lovers' Club'. She is one my favorite authors from across the pond. And it's about chocolate, so that is a can't miss.

Not going through life on auto-pilot huh? Good goal. I have been trying to vary my reading material as well...I think it is important to stretch ones brain! And I have found books that I really, really like that I may have never picked up before! :) Way to go.
The Countdown continues!!!
I want to see pictures while you're in Hawaii so make sure you post them throughout the trip. I want to see all the juicy details from your trip. I might be in Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro around the same time! We can simultaneously have Spring break on opposite sides of the world!
Miss you guys.
