Eat, Cook, Read, and Other Things That I Love

The main point of the blog was to record milestones and events in my first year of marriage.  We had a wonderful and eventful year.

I have plans for a new blog.  Check it out:  http://knitcookread.blogspot.com/

There's always another way...

For some strange reason, I have been unable to access Blogger at work. I have learned that I can send my blogs through email. I am very happy to have learned how this can be done.

I will probably update a lot more now! I am glad about this, since work sometimes makes me crazy. I need a place to escape sometimes.

I like reading the same book with Jon. I helps me read faster and not take as long to finish. We are trying to read a chapter each day of Dead Until Dark. I am not sure if we will read the whole series, since I have heard mixed reviews about the books.

It is taking some time for me to get used to this vampire stuff, since I usually read things that are realistic. This will be good from me to explore other genres.

I have considered starting a book club several times, but I am not sure if I could get everyone to agree on a book. I wouldn't mind it just being a group of people getting together just to talk about what they are currently reading. We would not necessarily have to read the same thing. Just having the common interest in books and reading would be enough for me.

I may try to revive this idea.

Well, this is my first post via email! I am so excited to be blogging again!

Southern Vampire Series

Jon bought each of us a copy of the first book in the Southern Vampire Series, Dead Until Dark. He is interested in seeing the HBO series True Blood.

I have just stared reading Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani. The Big Stone Gap Trilogy takes place in the region where Jon is from, and his mother suggested them to me.

I think we will probably listen to it on CD on the way to Virginia, so that when we get back we can start reading Dead Until Dark.

We will need something to listen to on our over 12 hour drive, since Sylvia does not have XM radio. Jon loves XM, so I have a feeling we will be getting it. I enjoy it as well, but is not a necessity for me.
