Spring Reading Thing update

Spring Reading Thing 2011 update

I've been busy reading these first few weeks! No complaints here! I've had plenty of free time since we've finished our to-do list and now wait patiently for someone to fall in love with our house!

I've also started listening to audio books --thanks to my new smartest-phone! Believe it or not but I can listen at 2x speed and still completely understand everything! Plus it's much closer to the speed of actually reading the book yourself! Tons of listening while doing all those homemaker chores for me! Makes sweeping and scrubbing toilets a whole new thing!

I've also recently noticed my reading speed has increased. Even a year ago I would have said I was a slow reader... can't claim that anymore!

  1. ...we've finished our to-do list ...

    Wow, I'm having a hard time getting past that statement!

    And you've read/listened to so many books too!

  2. Who in their right mind would want to read Marley and Me? That's just asking for a sad day.
