Shattered Sun

Part of my goals for this year is to help my children realize that reading is good for more than just video games and homework. They don’t really get it. They haven’t found the world that your mind’s eye can see and enjoy. Their imaginations aren’t really hindered, but they just don’t have the same love of reading that I’ve had all my life. I want them to grow to enjoy reading, if nothing else. So, to that end, I’ve started 30 minutes of reading each night, to be done just before bed. And today we went to the library and got them new library cards. Even Zack, since he’s five now. Zack is more interested in the card than the books, lol! I hope that they’ll change their minds about reading.

While we were there I picked up some books for myself, so I’ll be reading some of the good stuff from Orson Scott Card. I really wanted to check out Mystic River, but all the copies were checked out at the local branch. At some point I’ll probably have to place it on hold, lol. I’m looking for some good suggestions, both fiction and nonfiction, if you have any!

1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails? -me-
   There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven’t graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be? Gosh, there is a class quote, but I can’t remember it. Shows how meaningful I felt it was.

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say? Normally I wouldn’t even get them but I had wanted ones in Oregon for my truck. I was going to have them say Cerasus which means Cherry because my blazer was cherry red.

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say? I’ve gotten one engraved gift and it was from Carrie. It simply said Thank You.

5. What would you like your epitaph to be? She lived life for what it was and always enjoyed the little things.
