Rain in Texas
Every time I visit Texas (for the last 10 years) it rains. I always feel lucky, since rain is such a treat here in these parts! My long weekend trip was no exception- there was even flooding! I took my almost 7 year old with me this time, the trip was to celebrate her birthday and my mom’s birthday (happy birthday mom!).
Yes, she wore the crown everyday of our trip…even on the airplane ride home! You’re only seven once I say- so live it up!
My only new years resolution this year (I’m not a fan of new years resolutions in general, I feel if you notice something in your life that needs adjusting you should take care of it right away, rather than wait for some silly day to start! ) is to keep track of all the books I read (my mother suggested I quantify even farther and keep track of how many pages each book has). Today is the 11th and I have already finished 2 books (hooray!). I’ve decided to keep track of them over here- on a page devoted to books! I’d love to hear from you, add a comment and recommend a book, or tell me what you thought about one of the books on my list.

I’m reading “The Unwanteds” – touted as “Harry Potter meets The Hunger Games”. I started reading it along with an 8 y.o. speech client who is working on reading comprehension. I’m really enjoying it!
I also read the Gabby Giffords book – found it interesting – she’s quite the character – and an easy read.
I’m also slowly reading the “Steve Jobs” biography.
And … I’ve downloaded this book to my Kindle, but haven’t started it yet: Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant.
