I think I hate you. :D I'm plotting my summer reading to put me back on track for 50. But then, I have some misc. responsibilities that greatly impede my reading time: husband, house, kids, etc. LOL

Whoops, I meant to keep that private. No biggie.

Yep, I have pretty much no responsibilities other than subbing, which makes it easy to find lots of reading time. Once I go back to school, it'll be a whole different story.

I'd be reading 24/7 if I didn't keep getting interrupted like right now, I cant' finish THIS thought because my two year old (nearly three) has a stinky. UGH!

but I'm glad you're able to read so much and you're right, come fall, the time will be gone, gone, gone. :)

Hi Marathoner,

I, like you, will be moving 1000 miles away to attend the University of New Orleans this August. I, like you, have been going down for some time now to work to rebuild in the aftermath (I went once before the storm as well). I, like you, am optimisitic that the details will all work themselves out. Unlike you,(I think) I am still quite nervous.

Here is my email if you would like to chat more about NOLA.
