8 Things I Say Often
- I love you
- No Worries
- Holy Crap
- Hey Lambchop (to Daphne)
- Honey, I can’t hear you (Liz likes to talk to me while my head is beside a loud noise like running water or the stereo speakers). I suppose this could also be that I have bad hearing, but I had it checked for work a year or so ago, and it said “Better than Average”
- You’re so amazing and beautiful (I don’t go around saying this, just to a specific person but you could probably guess who)
- Time to wake up (I say this A LOT)
- You’re Kidding. I’m not sure why I say that a lot, but I do find myself saying that a lot.
8 Books I’ve read recently…
I guess I won’t get any points with Amazon for linking, but here goes:
- Walking on Water: Reading, Writing, and Revolution – Derrick Jensen
- Blink:The Power of Thinking Without Thinking – Malcom Gladwell
- The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can make a Big Difference-Malcom Gladwell
- Between a Rock and a Hard Place- Aron Ralston. It got surprisingly good reviews, but I think he’s really lucky he’s not dead, and I felt like he really didn’t learn from any of his near death encounters he faced prior to having to cut his own arm off with a pocket knife. I didn’t like the book at all)
- A Million Little Pieces – James Frey. Don’t get me started on the whole Oprah thing. It was a good book, not sure any human could really endure what he claims he went through, which now apparently isn’t true.
- My Friend Leonard. Same story as above. Both of his books are brilliantly written, though.
- I am currently trying to work my way through The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley, but it’s been a struggle to get through.
- The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner: Worksheets, Checklists, Etiquette, Calendars, and Answers to Frequently Asked Questions and Bridal Bargains, 8th Edition: Secrets to throwing a fantastic wedding on a realistic budget (Bridal Bargains). I’ll count them as one book, but they’ve been quite handy over the past year. Thanks to Elisa for the recommendations.
