One of the fabulous benefits of working at the library was my introduction to the comic strip Unshelved. The humor centers around life in a public library and librarian stereotypes. I don't need to do any research, reading this comic strip makes me certain I would fit right into the library scene. Yesterday's strip is a great example (see picture above). I actually brought books with me to Georgia, but I did not get around to reading them, which is very out of character for me. I had a book in my soccer bag last night (I had an evening indoor soccer game) and when we were all sitting around after the game I pulled it out and opened to my bookmark. . . .and then this little voice in my head said "Stop! Don't read the book now! Put it away. . . .socialize!" And so reluctantly I put my book back into my bag and joined the conversation around me. I do have a stack of books I want to read building on my nightstand though. I think tonight may be the glorious night I get to read some of them!!! (M. Scott Peck's autobiography, A nonfiction about what happens in our brains when we dream, The Last Lecture, A nonfiction about life in a hospital, and a few editions of The Week Magazine). I think I have some red wine left too. . . :)

Georgia
It's Saturday morning, and I am getting ready to go for one last run with my Mom. We walk for about 2 miles and then run two miles back. Some might call us joggers, but any exercise is welcome after all the crap I have eaten this week. Nothing busts a healthy diet like family dinners.
I had never been to Georgia before. I think at one point i was looking forward to surfing, hahahaha. I have never seen a surf so flat. I did float around on raft and burnt the crap out of my tummy. I did not get stung by a jellyfish, neither did I step on a stingray. All in all I think it was a good trip. Everyone is driving back today to miss traffic. I will be dropping down into Florida to pick up a friend to ride back with me tomorrow. Maybe I'll nap today because one thing is for sure, it is impossible to get sleep when vacationing with my family. There is always too much to DO!
