Comments

A light reading month.  But that's okay.  I've been busy with other things in my life:

  • End of the school year
  • Disney World vacation
  • Move to Omaha

That is what I originally wrote, but it's not really true.  Yes, the school year came to an end.  The boys were busy packing up, wrappimg up.  Yes, we went to Disney World on vacation.  It was awesome.  And stressful.  But that's part of the fun, right?  Yes, we moved to Omaha.  I've spent the last three days furiously unpacking (mostly because I really want to this to look like a house and not a hotel room.  Mostly, we have unpacked.  The rooms are actually looking like real rooms.  (I'll post some pictures soon.)  Things are really coming together.

So, it was a very busy month, but I somehow still managed to read 19 books (with only a few graphic novels).  This was definitely a respectable total for June.  Onward to July...  Now I have to unpack my books to actually get some reading done.  Decisions, decisions.
